Where can i buy Orzo (pasta?)

Juicy_Tube

Does anyone know where I can buy ORZO from in London?

Tesco was a no-no and surprisingly, so was Waitrose.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I would try the small italian delicattessen type shops, you know the kind i mean? I used to love this stuff as a kid in italy, for breakfast with biscuits or bread to dip

good luck finding it

Hi there,
I no longer live in London but there used to be a really great Italian deli on the Fulham Road, just past the cinema on the opposite side adn they used to have all sorts of stuff like this. ALso there is a smaller similar shop on the end of Old Compton Street

Any greek and most turkish food shops will probably have it as well

I'm sure I've seen it in Tesco with their exotic groceries - Greek stuff and bags of chapatti flour etc, might have imagined it though.

You can definitely get it in the big Waitrose in Canary Wharf!

This is where I was yesterday and when I couldn't find it, i asked someone. They didn't have a clue what it was or where it would be?

Any ideas of whereabouts in the store?

Thanks

Can't help with where to buy it, but it is a pasta which looks very much like rice (although rice is the same width for the whole length of the grain, whereas Orzo is slightly tapered at the ends - if that makes sense). M&S have got an Orzo salad in their Count on Us range, for those that would like to see it - I think it is an Orzo with Balsamic tomatoes salad (and very nice it is too - I tried it once!, albeit at £3 a go!:eek:).

Never bought it as a basic ingredient, though (although will be watching this thread, because I wouldn't mind trying it!)...;)
