poppy seeds and white peppercorns

powershopper

Does anyone know where I can get poppy seeds from? No, not to grow, the sort you put on bread. I haven't seen any for ages , either in the 'baking' areas or the spice racks. Just lately I have resorted to saving the excess that falls of the Poppy seed Baguettes, to put on the next loaf I bake. (now THATS money saving!!!!)

And why can't I find any whole white peppercorns? Black by the bushel, even red or green, but the only white ones are in a mixed jar, and even I am not going to sort them out so that DH can make cheese sauce without the speckles. ( just for the record, he does make the FINEST cheese sauce in the UNIVERSE)

And just so's you can judge for yourselves:-
Tesco Rainbow peppercorns-40g-£2.40 =£6/kilo
Schwartz Mixed -43g-£1.78 =£4.10/kilo

Bought Poppy Seeds last week from a local Indian supermarket though depending where you live this may not help you. Didn't notice if they sold White peppercorns

Indians are favourite, also chinese supermarkets have some decent sized bags of this kind of thing.

Ebay is worth a look
http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/SPICE-CAPITAL-Herbs-Spices-Supplier__W0QQ_armrsZ1 for example ?

Both items here http://www.theasiancookshop.co.uk/ but you'll have better closer and no postage that way.

I bought some poppy seeds last week in our local sainsburys, they were in a little pack in the baking section for 39p. They also sell sesame seeds which are also great on bread.

White peppercorns also at Sainsburys not sure of price but majority of herbs and spices are currently 342.HTH.

Do you have a healthfood shop near you? They often sell spices and seeds much more cheaply than supermarkets, and they tend to have a better range. I know I was hunting round for dill seeds recently to pickle cucumbers and after searching for days, I finally found them in the Wholefoods Co-op not five minutes from my house :rolleyes:

The only supermarket I can find poppy seeds in is Sainsbury's.

I have been looking for white peppercorns for a long time.
They are listed on the Waitrose web site but are not in my nearest store. I live too far out for ocado delivery.
I visit two Sainsbury stores and neither stock white peppercorns.

I think it is luck if your store stocks them.

None of the health food stores in my town stock white peppercorns.


EDIT:
White peppercorns? 2006 :eek:
