Where can I buy baby pasta?

When DS was a baby I bought him some baby pasta which, I think, was tiny little stars. I can't seem to find it now. I've looked in Asda and Boots. Anyone know where I can get it? Thanks

Why have they discontinued it Coddy? Will have to try and remember when I got to tesco to buy train track because unfortunately we are in the north so don't have waitrose.

I use pasta bought from an Italian deli that looks like large grains of rice

aBeanInaManger · 02/12/2004 14:40

the peter rabbit stuff is available in some Sainsbury?s, Safeway and Tesco, as well as waitrose

Well that won't work for me. Do not do jars in our house. But I'm beginning to feel a bit of a philistine because I have no idea where there is a deli around us.

where are you?

bakedpotatohoho · 02/12/2004 14:59

this is from teleg online

"Latini's tiny star-shaped stelline, £1.95 for 500g from i Sapori (mail order 020-7228 2017), are the perfect size for adding to soup. Their rough texture comes from slow drying - and the use of bronze moulds - but it's the fragrant flavour of the black wheat flour used in the dough that really makes the difference."

not sure aobut black wheat flour, but i bet they sell a normal variety too

buy in bulk!

West Yorkshire. I'm sure there are delis around just don't know where. We're going to the Christmas market in Lincoln tomorrow so might spot one there.

Thanks everyone BTW
