What with holidays
interfering and tradesmen calling my weekly shopping routine (alternating Aldi and
Morrisons) has got out of kilter, and tonight I ended up visiting both, during
which two things puzzled me: first, why could I not find any tomato puree at
either shop – is there a global shortage, is it no longer sold in the familiar
toothpaste tube shaped packaging, or is it no longer located sensibly adjacent
to the pasta; second, I can see why people pick up products on one shelf and
then leave them on another where they spot a better or cheaper alternative, but
what is the explanation for the swede jettisoned in the biscuit aisle – “mmm
those custard creams will taste so much better in my casserole than a swede”.
