    I couldn't find water chestnuts in Tesco or Asda but knew someone heading up the Lisburn rd & got a couple of tins from Camseng, both chopped & whole. .

    That's odd, even my local garage stocks them !

    My local CoOp & Centra stocks them,I'm pretty sure that Sainsbury's stock them under there own brand name.

    Does anyone know if any of the big supermarkets sell water chestnuts or am i going to have to make a trek up to one of these Chinese supermarkets....

    I think it was in the Lidl leaflet in the Sunday Life - not this week as it was BBQ stuff, but in the week befores leaflet - whole pile of Chinese food. Vaguely remember seeing big tins of water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, etc v cheap...

    Seen the wee chinese lass on TV's 'Chinese food in munutes' using some chili bean sauce, so decided to go to Asia supermarket to get some (getting slightly adventurous lol). Lovely taste off it, even when you use a little. No need to chop chillis now;)

    Ormeau Road still open and thriving, it's just madder than the Donegall Pass one. Think of Donegall Pass as a more normal supermarket.
