To ask where all the Taramasalata has gone?

[NameWithChange]

Just that.

Not a single supermarket near me has any, Tescos said out for 3 weeks in every branch for 50 miles and no expected in date.

Really fancied some for lunch 🤨

Who had eaten it all?

Same thing none to be found in M&S Marble Arch

In the bin where it belongs 🤮🤢

How odd! I've been looking for a couple of weeks in Tesco, and just thought they were sold out - but it's obviously Nationwide!

Traditionally it is made from olive oil. I bought some recently from a supermarket and the olive oil had been replaced with rapeseed oil, presumably to keep it affordable, but it tasted slightly rancid despite being in date. Perhaps people stopped buying it because the new cheaper version is inedible.

Same in my local sainsbury’s! Now I’m concerned too. YANBU

Funny you say this OP, I had a sainsburys delivery today and tried ordering it, but none on their website at all! Normally they have a sainsburys own brand, plus a more expensive one, if not a 3rd brand too- but none at all! 🙁

Taramasalata itch … makes me hate it even more! Sounds like a STI…

What's taramasalata? Now tiramisu I can do!! Delicious!

Well Cod roe is seasonal, so maybe depends whether those brands only use fresh roe as opposed to frozen/tinned I guess.

Anyone know which is the supermarket which does the one with smoked salmon in? I love that one.

Oh gosh, I used to go when I lived in London after graduating at much the same time. Weren't the waiters famous for being, shall we say, brusque?

If you went there, did you also go to Pollo on Old Compton Street - similarly good value, good food but Italian? I still think about their zabaglione.

On topic, I'm sorry but I also find the pinkness of taramasata off putting. It's OK in a sweet product but.....

It isn’t meant to be pink I don’t think. Waitrose’s never used to be pink it was more pale creamy brown.

All I see is tarantula salad.

I've been waking up thinking about this too

I love taramasalata and have noticed the same thing. So I bought a smoked cod's roe (cheap) from the fishmonger and made my own. It was heavenly - no comparison with the supermarket stuff.

Talking of cod roe, what is absolutely impossible to find these days are those solid discs of cod roe battered and deep fried that used to be sold in fish and chip shops. I loved them.

We need to raise national awareness of this scandal!!!!

Oooh. Maybe worth a dash.

Thanks Sauvignon- I now fancy a glass of wine with it too 😉

Sorry.

At least I can share the pain with you 🙃

Green lid organic milk has been out of stock in a lot of places too!!!!

🤨

They definitely don't today! And they haven't for at least 10 days.

Is Morrisons any good now? I used to buy it, then I had one which was basically slime, thought it had been a bad batch, tried again a bit later, just as bad, so haven’t dared try since.

It wouldn’t be so bad if they still sold cods roes, but they don’t seem to

Most stuff is still low in stock in our giant Sainsbury's. It's ridiculous

It is definitely nothing like tiramisu!!
