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?

@Wishihadanalgorithm I got the best pork scratchings from the butcher on Saturday - they're so good I'm rationing them!!

I'm missing our local Greek restaurant - I'm quite happy with what I can cook at home, but I can't make anything close to what they serve Sad

Omg I shouldn’t have read this thread.

Eggs. So many things I want to cook need eggs.

Verily1 · 31/03/2020 13:54

I’ll miss McDonald’s, not yet but I will!

I’ve promised DC (but mainly for myself) a double 99 from the ice cream van when this is all over Grin

A ridiculous milkshake with chocolate bars and fruit sticking out of it from the lovely cafe up the road from me. They will probably have gone out of business by now Sad

Really had a craving for ready brek the last couple of days! Very random as I haven't had it in years! DH said there wasn't any on the shelf when he went for suppliers on Friday. Hopefully there will be some the next time he needs to go out again.

Andromeida59 · 31/03/2020 14:00

Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels and Cadbury's Cream Egg. Not together obviously.

Home baked bread. Haven't been able to get flour at all and I detest white sliced. I keep glaring at the unemplyed breadmaker every time I walk past it in the kitchen.

MilesJuppIsMyBitch · 31/03/2020 14:01

Eggs. Eggs. Eggs. Eggs. Eggs.

Cooked any way at all

@YetAnotherSpartacus

Sorry that’s just cracked me up 😂

VivaLeBeaver · 31/03/2020 14:03

Starbucks

Tana433 · 31/03/2020 14:04

Big Mac and fries.

PutThemInTheIronMaiden · 31/03/2020 14:04

One of the only things left in B&M’s practically empty freezers yesterday were frozen cream doughnuts!

I'm puzzled at the things people can't get in the shops. I'm on Merseyside and other than hand sanitiser there is nothing I can't get between the local supermarket, corner shop and butcher. I'm shopping for 3 families though so out more often than others, so can get things when I see them rather than 1 trip out a week when something might be out of stock that day.

WotnoPasta · 31/03/2020 14:06

Hundreds of eggs in Morrison’s

PrincessHoneysuckle · 31/03/2020 14:06

Raw fresh prawns.Whos taking them all?!

SinkGirl · 31/03/2020 14:06

I really want a bbq. Because our neighbour keeps having bbqs and we have no meat to bbq.

BearSoFair · 31/03/2020 14:10

McDonalds double cheeseburger...don't have them often but now I know I can't I really want one!

CountFosco · 31/03/2020 14:12

Sorry to everyone who is looking for rice. DH seems to be buying it every time he leaves the house so we now have 3 different sized bags (admittedly 1 is only 500 g so only a meal's worth). We do eat a lot of rice but it is making me laugh what he considers vitally important. Everyone else is stocking up on loo roll, we have rice (DH), garlic and lemons (me) and several years supply of anchovies (excessive brexit supplies, I haven't bought anchovies for a year now Blush).

As far as what I'm missing, our favourite French patisserie has shut and their bread was amazing so I'm missing that.

igotdemons · 31/03/2020 14:14

Everything that I love but cannot have as I’m trying to lose weight! 😂 McD’s, chip shop chips, bakery items (proper fresh bread, cakes). I don’t normally buy biscuits but I am even craving them today! 😫

Madein1995 · 31/03/2020 14:16

Kfc boneless banquet with gravy. And a full fat Pepsi. Yum.

Also really craving some waitrose white chocolate ice cream. I'm not going out just for that, amd I'm in work tomorrow anyway so if needed I can pop in then and get it. But I want it now!

A nice large caramel latte with extra foam from costa.

TheArchSorcererofContwaraburg · 31/03/2020 14:18

A Chinese takeaway.

Chocolateandamaretto · 31/03/2020 14:18

Biscoff biscuits!
I have also been craving bolognaise but finally managed to pick up some pasta today so that is tonight’s tea Grin
