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 ate the last packet of crisps yesterday and am now craving them, but have enough normal food in the house that I can't justify a supermarket run.

Also down to the last (small!) Chocolate bar which has been tempting me for a few days yet.

Almost hoping I get called in to work, so I can go out to buy lunch foods and stock up on treats at the same time.

The grilled sandwiches from the deli near me. I’m kicking myself daily that I couldn’t finish my last salt beef chilli reuben...

A proper fry up, but especially Black pudding.

managedmis · 31/03/2020 16:01

Fries

Flixsfoilball · 31/03/2020 16:02

A Chinese - and no that isn't some weird racist comment, I've been craving sweet and sour chicken balls, special fried rice and mushroom curry for about 10 days now

GinDrinker00 · 31/03/2020 16:03

A McDonalds cheese burger. I’ve been thinking about it for a week. 😂

GooodMythicalMorning · 31/03/2020 16:08

Also like to add chinese and maccy D's. I miss food.

A Subway for me.
Whole grain bread, tuna and extra melted cheese ( lettuce, tomato & peppers).
It's not the same making it at home.

Nuttyaboutnutella · 31/03/2020 16:11

Wine.
And eggs.

I really want to make cheese scones but can't find self raising flour anywhere.

Lifeisgenerallyfun · 31/03/2020 16:17

A pot noodle - a green one. Yes it’s rank, currently in lock down with cv symptoms (now thankfully abating).

I think it’s the salt, whenever I’m ill all I want is salty foods, plain crisps, toast with salted butter..... my DH has suggested something else but he can fuck off🤣

PenguinsOnParade · 31/03/2020 16:19

DH just got back from a supermarket trip and actually managed to find raspberry jam doughnuts. And bananas. It's been so long since we had bananas in the house. He's definitely in the good books today. Grin

The returning family member coming home with the spoils of a good supermarket shop somewhat recreate what it must have felt like when a caveman returned with a deer slung over his shoulder.

chilimartini · 31/03/2020 16:57

Fish and chips

FudgeBrownie2019 · 31/03/2020 16:58

I want 20 chicken nuggets. I've never eaten 20 nuggets in my life but the first thing I do when I'm released into the wilds will be eat a 20 box.

Beebie2 · 31/03/2020 17:02

Plain flour!!! There’s most things on the shelves, but we’ve not managed plain flour.

CoronaIsComing · 31/03/2020 17:07

A maccies here too Blush to be fair, we have most other things in.

Flump9 · 31/03/2020 17:12

Mars/galaxy have had a mechanical breakdown which is why there's no maltesers around or some other Mars/galaxy chocolates.

QuixoticQuokka · 31/03/2020 17:17

Lidl 95% cocoa chocolate. Had to make do with 85%.

Gingerkittykat · 31/03/2020 17:27

An iced coke slushy thing from Burger King, I'm craving it constantly. I'm considering putting half a plastic bottle of coke in the freezer and seeing if I can do it that way,

Knorr ham stock cubes, out of stock everywhere. These are essential for making proper Scottish lentil and bacon soup. I guess everyone else wants to make it right now.

ElsieMc · 31/03/2020 18:05

Fed my family Hot Cross Buns this morning and used Norpack which I have avoided, buying pricey Lurpack instead and they couldn't tell the difference!

I want fish and chips from my friend's chippy with her homemade tartare sauce.

LaneBoy · 31/03/2020 18:06

I was scrolling back through old photos earlier and saw a pic I’d taken of a nice chocolate bar - a Coop slab, with mango and passion fruit. I’d entirely forgotten about it existing but now I’ve seen the photo I can taste it again and I really want some!

bridgetreilly · 31/03/2020 18:09

Fondant fancies. But only since I read the title of this thread!

RightOnTheEdge · 31/03/2020 18:10

Chinese, its my favourite food.

cushioncovers · 31/03/2020 18:22
