I wanna tin of black cherries

When I was little, I used to love tinned black cherries with ice cream. I've been trying to buy some for a while now but can't find any in the major supermarkets round me or on my online shopping. Does anywhere still sell them? Why are they so hard to get hold of now?

    You can get frozen ones or they have them in Sainsbury's in the tinned fruit section, usually by the freezers.

    Lidl/Aldi can't remember which do jars of cherries in juice.

    I'm trying to find some tinned black cherries (either in juice or syrup).

    I used to get them in Tesco, but they seem to have stopped selling them.

    Can't see them online at Asda either.

    I didn't like the ones from Lidl.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thanks

    Have a look at the East European section of your supermarket as they sell them there. I am from Belgium orginally and we eat these cherries warmed up along with homemade meatballs and buttered bread. I was looking for these cherries for years and finally found them in the 'Polish' section of Mr T.
