    I just cannot get on with Nairn's plain oatcakes. I've tried them on the baby and she spits them out (she does this with no other food).
    Plain oatcakes are possibly the plainest, driest food known to man - your little one has good sense. Of all the Nairn's varieties, I don't mind the red ones, which are baked slightly longer. They sometimes have a mega-pack of these in Poundshops.
    Am interested to hear how you find them.
    Will do. The delicious Sesame Seed Thins are in the cracker repository at the moment, but they go quite quickly. :)

    Lidl NI don't stock it full stop :(

    sorry, where is NI? If they stock it elsewhere you can ask the store manager, say (each week) that you want it ;) I don't think that Scottish ladies are more prone to baking their own bread compared to wherever you are ;):D it (white and brown bread flours) really is in each Lidl store in our wider area.

    I love a nice glass of port, providing it's not too oaky

    Is this the Maynard's Tawny ?

    It was, sorry for the delay in replying .

    For anyone interested, the Aldi bread flours (white and wholemeal) are back on the shelves after their summer break. :)

    Probably due for a competitive change - Lidl went to smaller, plastic jars identical to Aldi's a couple of months ago.

    I wonder if we'll get the large, American style jars in Aldi?

    Not for long if the answers on here to it not being on the shelf's is anything to go by.:D

    Have we lost 2 months? :eek: I thought their service centre said it will not be on the shelf's until October! ;)

    Lidl IE - Eire

    I have been asking every month for the past two years, in store and by phone. I can buy wheaten , plain, self-raising and whole meal. Can not get strong bread flour and there is no yeast.

    At the weekend my OH was told by several store managers at 1 store that it's been discontinued. i find that hard to believe but haven't had a chance to check with HO yet and we haven't seen it for months in either of our local stores. It seems ridiculous that they would get rid of such a popular and basic product so just wonder if it's not so popular in Summer and they're resting it?? Anyway i find it strange
    HTH someone
    :huh:
