I've prepped some green beans for my dinner and on the packaging they were grown in Senegal. For me this poses some questions.

Longlife Cream no more????
Before Christmas I noticed that my local Asda had stopped stocking longlife cream so I asked about it and was told it was no longer an Asda product and had been replaced by Elmlea.
