Well if you like strawberries don’t put one in salt water and watch the little white worms come out.

Are they the same as what we used to call blackberry creeps? I grew up with them as we had loads of blackberries in the garden so I expect I've eaten my fair share.

Local Aldi have (had) decent stock... Well, until I cleaned them out this evening on my home from work

Are we seeing a repeat of the great fig roll shortage of 2008?

In the past fortnight I've been in Asda, Sainsbury's and Lidl, none of them have any in stock. 

49p in Tesco, got some last week https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/260169385
50p Asda https://groceries.asda.com/product/plain-biscuits/asda-fig-rolls/1000000982547
1.40 Sainsburys https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/bolands-fig-roll-200g?
1.60 Waitrose https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/mcvities-fig-rolls/018380-8904-8905
2 varieties at Ocado, one here https://www.ocado.com/products/bolands-fig-rolls-200772011

Ridiculous prices. I am used to paying 37p at Aldi.

Perhaps biscuits are about to become as unaffordable a treat as cake. Mucho sadness

Aldi are same price as Tesco https://groceries.aldi.co.uk/en-GB/p-belmont-fig-rolls-200g/4088600107837

Man I love fig rolls. And I'm not picky about the brand. I love them with cheese. And I'm not picky about that brand either!

Years ago I got the Jacobs fig rolls then found them a bit "burnt" and dry so stopped, tried Asda ones which were ok but really liked the Sainsburys ones as were tasty and a little moist. Now the Sainsburys ones are dry and a bit "burnt".

Are the Aldi or Lidl ones moist or are they like eating a Digestive now too?
