I suspect they'll pay a premium, otherwise the shop won't make a profit, but they may think it worthwhile.

There are a few things I would buy (mushy peas being one - I must admit to eating them cold with fish fingers) and a few which seem idiosyncratic. (I've just realised how idiosyncratic the mushy peas comment is!) Perhaps they are things which someone has requested? Crumpets? Well, the fish'n'chip van that goes to Mortain has those. Well past their sell-by date, but that may mean that they have been bought in bulk and frozen. Hey, I'm feeling charitable this morning...

I did not realise people still used Oxo Cubes Yup, I do. Beef, chicken, lamb, vegetable - the lot. Used some when making a shepherd's pie yesterday. Though to be honest that was 50/50 liquid Oxo and French saveur de cuisine stuff, you know the Maggi stuff in the little bottle that always goes gunky round the top.

I too buy crumpets and beg people to bring them out for my son who adores them! Ive tried to make them but 'Mummy they just dont taste the same' about sums it up lol. I like English sausages for making sausage rolls and scotch eggs, the French sausagemeat is too meaty, whereas the English ones have more cereals and rubbish in so are smoother.    Report
