Yeast in Belfast

Hemera

Hi
Does anybody know where to find "regular" (i.e. not "fast action" or "easy bake") yeast in Belfast city centre or thereabouts? Either dried (Allinson's yellow tin and the like) or fresh.

TIA :j

Have you tired Nutmeg? The health food shop on lombard st?

A bakers?
They tend to have it...

I haven't tried to get fresh since I left London, it's been all the dried stuff or sourdough.

I've never asked myself but i've heard others say they'd go into the likes of Tesco or Asda where they had bakeries and just ask And they've been given a small piece free by the baker.

I saw the yellow tins in Asda today for 64p. Dried active yeast.

Thanks for your replies I hadn't thought of bakeries and health shops!

The problem with Asda is that it's pretty far from where I live (I don't even know where exactly it is, just that it's far ) and I don't have a car... But I just found out they deliver!
I used to get it from Tesco but they don't sell it anymore

Any home bakery will be able to sell you some,or maybe give you a piece for free ( it's not expensive,about £2 per block) There is a bakery on Sandy Row that would be close to the centre.
