Great Big Supermaket Chain Houmous Scare



I knew there was something odd afoot when none of the usual suppliers had any houmous on the shelves. Sainsburys is often a sure source but they had dried up too. What could I do two little starving boys at home & me with the houmous deficiency disease. As we used to say in the jailI was 'rattling' man.

Of course, I could make some at the drop of a hat, but I wanted immediate satisfaction.

Later we scoured the newspapers for the story. Yes, there it was in black & white, 6 large supermarket chains had withdrawn stock due to a health scare. Luckily there are some other independent suppliers left & off we went to Aldis & went crazy clearing the shelves. You never know when they will be 'carrying' again.
