Hi, I'm not sure the correct link was posted above. I saw the same site the other evening but the honey label, jar size and name doesn't match what's on the site. Asal's the persian word for honey and it appears a lot in searches. Wasn't able to find a match the other evening. Hope you don't mind me mentioning it and please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for the other info.

Asal - Turkish Flower Honey - 420g Jar

You are probably right - I rushed that one, and got wrong site. I'll edit it out.

Just noticed they've got gluten free lasagne sheets, they're £1.99 a pack in Tesco, and i just ordered 6 packs for the same price, hubby will be happy, hes been craving lasagne for the last few weeks, but i couldn't justify spending £2 on just the pasta (yes i'm a meanie!)

Probably a dumb question but can you taste the difference from normal lasagne sheets?

From what my OH says you can't really tell the difference between the G/F lasagne sheets and normal ones

I've got a question about the reduced salt/sugar beans.... I'm getting the hang of using stuff past the best before date but the beans on there are best before Aug 07, has anyone tried them? I usually buy the reduced salt/sugar stuff for the kids so am used to the taste.
