European broccoli crisis?

[JanH]

According to our Sainsburys there is one - due to weather conditions in Spain - "Supplies should be back to normal by 26 November"?

Or are Sainsburys just crap at sourcing? I thought broccoli came from the UK in the autumn but they have hardly had any for about a week and a half!

What you need is a Waitrose. Penty of broccoli there.

Really?
I wonder if it's happening in all the supermarkets.
went to safeways today (in a bid to follow the cut your food bill in half thread!) and they had loads of the stuff.

Thank you so much, soupy. WE HAVEN'T GOT ONE!

(You knew that, didn't you? )

The word insouciant springs to mind. Can you do insouciant? (I think you just did actually.)

I don't know what you mean...

it's probably all in bristol being eaten at the funeral, jan

Thanks, lou - given the timing, I'm wondering if Sainsburys knew in advance about your friend's funeral?

award for tonights most interesting thread..
