That'll be all the other folk buying 4-5 loaves 10 pints of milk a-piece because they're about to be snowed in. Our local Tesco Express
is the same and we haven't got any snow, nor are forecast to get much either!

Tesco car park full.
Full of cars which have sat there since saturday.
Walk in through 18" of snow and there isn't a loaf there.
Not to worry, we'll survive.

Nae bother... modern bread made with the Chorleywood process contains crappy additives and shortens the bread-making process which makes it hard to
digest and gives a blood sugar spike (high Glycemic load) and milk is for infant mammals.

all of the milk for our tesco was in the carpark - the wisemans lorry was stuck in the snow
if it comes to it I know the dairy farmer just up the road and I've got enough flour & yeast for about a months worth of bread for me - so
I'm sorted

It's just a highland thing.
Actually, I think it's specifically an Aeberdeen thing, ye ken ?
In the greater weegie area, we have our own local high cholestorol selection of snacks and savouries.

Yeah they are called Aberdeen Butteries, but I have had them as far west
as Inverness ... in fact I still have a couple in the freezer....courtesy of
Ashers Bakery.... (Nairn)
I also make them .... but not often ...due to the errrm quantities of
lard butter and salt required .......
Is the selkirk bannock a healthier option then?

well there isn't as much fat or salt and its got fruit in it (must cout for the 5 a day ) but I'm not saying anything about sugar
though....
it uses yeast, starts off more or less the same a white bread then add sugar + fruit and a bit of a sugar glaze once its out of the oven....
(I've sent you an e-mail)
and like all good cakes - you can put butter on the slices it when you eat it

What really cheeses me off is it's always the morons that live within walking distance of all the shops who clear out the shelves. We live out
in the middle of nowhere and still only get enough for a few days as it only lasts for a short while anyhow and as already said, bread has been made
at home for years, I'ts not exactly rocket science!
Makes me smile how many poor starving individuals must spend an absolute fortune on bread, milk etc. so they can survive for weeks in the frozen urban
jungle, only to throw 90% of it away. Hmmm, bright people. Still, at least they survived
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Thats the worst part, a huge portion of that is going to be thrown away.
They're probably the same people that have skived of work and are out driving about pointlessly to by things they don't need, that they
could have bought from a shop they could have walked to.

It's unbelievable just how stupid and selfish people are; a couple of days ago I nipped up to our local shop (Tesco Express attached to a petrol
station) as we'd run out of milk to find that they had run out and one of the employees was telling me how they had to ration the milk and bread
as people were trying to buy vast amounts like ten loaves/30 pints!
God help us if we ever had an actual emergency situation.
