More likely to contain shredded aromatic duck-breast. Most of the foods listed by the Indo as "missing or in short suppy" have never appeared on my shopping lists or till receipts and now never will. Unless that is, M&S have cornered world markets in them and now want to create demand by brain-washing us into needing them! More non-reporting by the Indo journobots.
This will hit pensioners hardest as they are the only ones with enough money to shop in M&S. I was in the one in Dundrum a while back and the shoppers were almost all coffin dodgers.In fairness when it comes to prepared foods... lasagne, cottage pie, steak kidney pie, seafood pie, desserts, prepared vegetables, sides - the meal deal elements - the M&S offerings are on another level to any other retailer here. Not essential\basic items, but they were much enjoyed here especially when just in the door from work (when we stll went into the office...)
I bet you buy bread though. We don't produce any bread flour in this country.More likely to contain shredded aromatic duck-breast.

And they Mill imported wheat.The bread flour milling mainly happens in N Ireland or England for Irish bread you buy on the shelves, think there is only one mill in the Republic for Odlums for bake at home bread.
Quote taken from that article"Ireland now produces just a small amount of flour from Irish wheat "You should tell the farmers that.
We don't produce anywhere near enough wheat suitable for flour. About 50% of our flour is imported and most of the wheat used by the 3 Mills here is also imported. It would be more correct to say "almost none".Quote taken from that article"Ireland now produces just a small amount of flour from Irish wheat "
Ok so when you said "We don't produce any bread flour in this country. " what you meant was "We don't produce much bread flour in this country. "

What, We'd end up eating much nicer French style bread? (not that dreadful muck that's passed off as French bread in supermarkets here)A question was raised about this elsewhere and it was why not import the flour from France for instance?
Apparently the flour grade there is different and would not work for the bread we are used to.
It's generally recognised as their national symbol, the flour-de-lys (I'm so sorry).Apparently the flour grade there is different
