What food do you really fancy that you can’t get at the moment

I don’t know why, but I’ve been craving a doughnut since the lockdown started. I’ve only been shopping once and they didn’t have them in the supermarket. I can’t seem to order them online and it’s reaching an obsession! What food or meal are you desperate to have now you can’t get it?

I just had a fish finger sandwich for the first time in years using the last 3 fish fingers in the freezer.....now all I can think about is another fish finger sandwich.

Next delivery (if I can get one) will be well after Easter Sad

Just saying to dh this morning I would have loved a,McDonald's breakfast ,we rarely have them btw, but it's because I can't have them in missing them!

A Chinese takeaway. I’d been looking forward to one all last week and was hoping to get one on Saturday night as a treat. By Saturday every Chinese in the area was shut and I cried. I didn’t realise quite how much I’d been looking forward to it.

I want chocolate, sweets and cake My husband is the driver so does the shopping but he never thinks of buying treats and he's a rubbish shopper. Even if I give him a list if he can't thee exact thing on it he doesnt think of a replacement! He's driving me crazy

A takeaway latte. Ideally from Nero. Drunk whilst browsing the city centre shops. One day!

Everything else seems to be available in the supermarket or via Ubereats. I’m quite sad that PPs are short of quiche, milk, gishfingers, doughnuts, maltesers. My local supermarket is well stocked with everything except pasta. It’s good to be able to eat things you really fancy at times like this.

Sleepyquest · 31/03/2020 13:16

@pinkunicorn20 that pasta is so good

WotnoPasta · 31/03/2020 13:24

Pasta

Jasmine rice we used to get it from warehouse Chinese supermarket. Before this all kicked off we ran out of the last of our 10kg bag so tried to get another one and there was absolutely no rice of any kind. So now I'm using sachets and it's just not the same :(

SudokuQueen · 31/03/2020 13:27

Tomato soup. Can't find any anywhere!

Wishihadanalgorithm · 31/03/2020 13:28

Pork scratchings. I am ashamed......

kazza446 · 31/03/2020 13:29

Flour, so I can bake to relieve kids boredom and make my own Yorkshire puddings!!

PenguinsOnParade · 31/03/2020 13:29

Chinese takeaway. All the ones near me have closed. I can get chips and curry sauce from the chippy but it's not quite the same as a beef curry with fried rice. I do make a decent fried rice at home but I've not been able to buy my normal rice so can't even make my own.

McDonalds too. I very rarely have one (maybe 2-3 times a year) but of course now knowing I definitely can't have one has made me really want one.

Ftumch · 31/03/2020 13:31

I really fancy cottage pie, but I have no mince. And I'm vegetarian 😂

Not sure where that craving has come from to be honest!

Quarantino · 31/03/2020 13:31

I cook from scratch and used to love good restaurants but right now all i want is a Papa John's pizza (i moved out of their delivery area ages ago :( )

MyDucksArentInARow · 31/03/2020 13:32

@lyricallie I was shocked that I couldn't find it. What brand do you usually use? I can only find tilda 5kg but for stupid prices. Amazingly our local thai supermarket doesn't stock it at all.

Frankiecandle · 31/03/2020 13:32

A big Mac

YetAnotherSpartacus · 31/03/2020 13:33

The person reporting was the children's father. There's quite the backstory with controlling behaviour but I just wanted to know if anyone thought he had valid reasons for concern

Ohhh I have some Quorn spag bol sauce I made Sunday AND good mashing potatoes.

Thanks for the tip!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 31/03/2020 13:34

Yeah. I really fucked up the cut and paste there. Sorry.

Bigsighall · 31/03/2020 13:39

A maccies for me too!

Genie7910 · 31/03/2020 13:42

Rice. Managed to get some microwave rice, but it's not quite the same.

tryingtoconcieve1 · 31/03/2020 13:43

Curry from Tesco which is sold out Sad

nettytree · 31/03/2020 13:43

A cooked breakfast from morrisons. Its my Friday morning treat.

ViciousJackdaw · 31/03/2020 13:48

@ToolOfAFook I want a doughnut too and recently had an email to tell me my 2 for 1 voucher has been extended. Will share with you!

CloudPop · 31/03/2020 13:48

@MyDucksArentInARow any chance you could tell me how you make your coconut rice. We love it bit had never had much success making it.

SophieLeGiraffe · 31/03/2020 13:49
