Can you still buy baby pasta?

[tonka]

I know they used to sell it when my ds was little but I couldn't find any in Tesco's tonight.

Oh dear tonka, prepare for the onslaught...

this is one of the all-time Mumsnet cliched thread titles! Which you weren't to know...

I suggest you do a search!

Can't for the life of me work out how such an innocuous topic set folk off... How exactly.....?

pmsl!

Thank you tonka!

right. go to sainsburys. find the fusilini...they are like babypasta.

don't for godsakes let cod see this thread....

Did you really join MN to ask this? Fantastic!

Boots do it, btw

Or break up spaghetti and fry it gently.

Thanks. How do I search?

Will look in Boots and Sainsbury's.

You can get small grains of pasta that look a little like fat grains of rice. I get it from a continental food shop but some larger supermarkets probally do it. Its a perfect size for little ones instead of wasting money on expensive baby pasta.

The only baby pasta I have ever seen was in Boots and it was v. expensive so never bought it. Our local morrisons does small pasta shells which we used or we broke up the dry spaghetti into the water. Another alternative is to put dry pasta in a freezer bag and bash it a bit till its the size you want and then cook it.

OMG!! Ha ha!! Never mind tonka - you weren't to know!!

ive seen pasta stars but cant remember where they were been looking for a while

I've never ever bought baby pasts.
I simply cooked normal pasta and cut it up small, is that really wrong or am I a genius?

What I want to know is this:

Given that SO many women come on and ask about baby pasta (presumably having used it for their earlier offspring), WHY did Baby Organix stop selling it?

I'm also temptped to think about setting up a sideline in selling baby pasta.

chortle

I always always always assume a thread with baby pasta in the title is a joke! Never mind, tonka - good job cod isn't here though!

They have little stars and letters in the supermarket near my In Laws. Shame it's in Spain really

Thanks for all your help.

Janh -

what about an italian deli/ they have small pasta

Ladymuck, baby organix stopped selling it because they made their entire range of food for babies under 12 months gluten free.

It also affected a brilliant baby porridge they made as well with no sugar just sweetened with pear

People who moan about baby pasta threads need to go and get a life!

Yes, yes, yes. Genuine Italian delis have little range packets of pasta...wait for it ... including stars. Was in healthfood/organic chain Fresh and Wild this week too and they had several, mini fuisilli and a Peter Rabiit brand with seveal shapes. If you really want the brnd name of italian one respond here/cat me and ill look next time i visit deli.

That's organe, sorry!

AAARGGHHH! ORANGE!
