Really looking forward to this...

None of the supermarkets around here seem to sell plain oatmeal, which I use for making skirly (Scots recipe, aka oatmeal stuffing), and also as a pork chop coating (delicious!)
So I had a search on t'Interweb and found 'goodnessdirect.co.uk', a health food type shop, and was able to order some. But that's not the thing I'm really looking forward to!
To make ordering online worthwhile (as the courier charge is a flat £6.50 up to a certain weight limit), I had a good browse to see if there was anything else interesting to buy. So, I added some Rooibos tea, some banana chips, sesame snaps etc. and then... I found it.
Dandelion & Burdock.
Haven't had it since I was a kid, about 30 years ago! Delivery is due tomorrow, can't wait!

sainsbury sell the d&b,cola and ginger beer. waitrose carry the whole range (rose lemonade, trad. lemonade, and orange iirc).all are excellent but the cola (for cuba libres) and d&b are the ones i get regularly.

I love a nice cold glass of D&B. Ben Shaws still sell it around here but in plastic bottles now
Before you could get arrested for it as kids it was known locally as Nrs sweat.
Gosh that brings back another memory of being a child. I used to always have Ben Shaws soft drinks and it was always either in a can or a big glass bottle that you could return and get some money back.Before you could get arrested for it as kids it was known locally as Nrs sweat.
