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!

moo, you carpetbagger!

Well it's funny Jan, because we used up the scrapings of the opened jar the other night and I'd put the new jar on the table. Dh said "bl**dy hell, we're pushing the boat out then?"...but neither of us opened it and it went back into the cupboard! I can take it or leave it myself...

dd1 and I eat loads of Branston...if theres an Ant shortage this year were naffed!

Anteater, I'm sure there are still plenty of ants available.

Broccoli....well I haven't noticed a shortage but I only shop in Sainsbury's occasionally. I do remember being in there and there being no vegetables on the shelves though - and people complaining. That was about 3 or 4 years ago. But NO vegetables is bad huh...

Anteater - we breed our own ants here... feel free to come and take away our breeding colony if you get a shortage.

but did you notice the Arrrrghh Ants!! thread died out very early this summer, mores the pity as this was one of my favs

Yeah but that's because they started coming in in February

Anteater, please drop round to our little plot of Sarfeast Lunnon which is forever ant-infested, any time you damn please. Ants as far as your nose can reach.

drool drool...

We got organic broccoli in last week's organic delivery, so Sainsbury's has clearly failed to source massive broc-producing monolith.
