pickling onions anyone seen them yet

jammy_dodger

i have been having a desire to make my own pickling onions good strong uns that'll make eyes water

but blow me i cant find em anywhere tried Mr T Asda somerfield / coop /aldi /lidl

we dont have any independant wee green grocers about or markets has anyone seen them about or maybe i am a bit too early in the season ??

I saw shalllots in a string bag in Mr T but they were too large and only about a dozen in the bag for £1.50:eek:

I remember buying em years ago in a hairnet type of bag with loads in them

thanks for your help

I'm 99% sure I saw some in Mr M's the other day, along with big jars of the pickling vinegar etc.... this was in York.

Maybe give them a call before you go in case I saw wrong, just to save your time (and petrol?!).

Hope I helped!

Yup, In Mr M's, 750g for £1, 1ltr vinegar also £1. (Don't buy the spice pack on the same shelf, it's £1.50,for one large jar dose. Put some pepper corns and dried chilli flakes in and it will bite back lovely).

Regards, Pud

Our Morrisons had them as well

Bought mine on our local market over two weeks ago (3lb for £2) - and I even piclkled them as well! (Well, knowing me they could still be sitting in the bag!) Think I've seen some at Mr T's as well.

Yeah I saw some in Asda last week, big plastic bag with all the shallots and other onions. Don't know the price but there was a lot in the pack. I just recall thinking, god i bet they are a pain to peel..
