What has happened to white cabbages? I've tried buying them from Aldi and Morrisons but they are tiny! Talk about shrinkflation!! Or perhaps it's just our area. Has anyone else noticed the shrinking white cabbages? As a huge slaw fan throughout summer, it's most disappointing. I usually grate cabbage, carrot, apple and cheese then throw in a handful of sultanas. A cabbage would make at least 4 big bowls but now only makes 2.

Same here but with cauliflower. Now reduced to the size of a tennis ball, but still charging nearly £2 each. Your recipe for slaw sounds really tasty, will give that a try, thanks for the idea.xx

I think the weather is effecting the size of the veg as I’m finding the same issue at the plot.

If anyone has membership to the Company Shop, and if you were interested in the Dubai chocolate Dupe to home make (in the MSE newsletter recently) then they had near to sell by date Kadayif (shredded filo pastry) in today, 30p for 400g I’m going to give it a try since I bought (rather rashly) some Pistachio cream from Costco earlier this year. I’m debating whether or not to invest in the chocolate bar mold - thinking: maybe an old plastic takeaway box could be used. I’ve got some cheap chocolate which I may use for my first go, but if I’m going to indulge and use up my “sweet treats” ration I may prefer a better quality chocolate.
