Bisto Gravy Granules, Original

Post by trubrit » October 6, 2017, 1:33 pm

This time I am looking for Bisto gravy granules, original . Plenty of chicken and turkey flavoured on the shelves but no original. Anyone seen it. Tried all the major supermarkets and Fuzzies, who normally has it but no luck.Thanks in advance .

Maybe the title should read , "Poms looking for a familiar taste from the mother country"

I would hope that the new TIT shop, which says it will open soon, would cater for all your grocery needs, Jon would know.
YES TIT does have / will have Bisto granules ..seems theres a bit of a shortage at the moment . The the main importer of the Brit dry goods DOES NOT SUPPLY TESCO LOTUS any longer having done a deal with another supermarket chain to be sole retailers .

Left it empty because I feel there must be many things members are looking to buy but can't find in the shops, so rather than have seperate topics each time, thought this would be handy .

Have you tried knorr brown sauce mix in makro 1kg for 275b on the end of farang foods.i use it im my slow cooker when making braised lamb,liver n bacon,beef n kidney stew.add some Worcester sauce and oxo,cheap as chips as they say.since permanently moving here I have become a bit of a cook and after making my stews have nice left over gravy that I stick in little plastic gravy pots and freeze.i found bistro gravy granules to be expensive and being in a cardboard carton it gets moisture in and end up throwing it.i found alternatives for most of my needs when cooking.i never have sausages anymore,I make lorne or square sausage at 170b a kg (beef n pork) rather than 200b for 250g of fatty sausages.i use broken bacon bits from makro at 170b a kg and goes in my liver n bacon,carbonara and don't spew a load of water out when cooking.i now make my own faggots that cost less than 20b each and use a liver gravy out of the freezer that was left over from making liver,bacon and onions.ive even started pickling veg,onion,baby sweet corn,large chilli peppers and after a couple of times have got it right.all I can say is thank you to Google for recipes,my electric mincer and slow cooker.being retired I have time on my hands and very rarely eat out as I live out of the city and save a fortune.ive got a nice freezer with the likes of chilli con carne,spaghetti bol,chicken and bacon carbonara and the others I mentioned earlier.theres a little Jamie oliver in all of us.

In the Big C Nittayo Road they only had onion or chicken, no beef but that was a few days ago, maybe they got some new stock.
The forest was shrinking daily but the trees kept voting for the axe as its handle was made of wood and they thought it was one of them.

Bingo in fact double bingo.went into Tesco Na Dee today and lo and behold sitting there on the clearance rack were the Tesco branded gravy Bisto. made in England by the Bisto company especially for Tesco, the only difference they still used the original name of onion gravy which must have confused some, so it didn't sell, which was my good fortune because it didn't have a price on but when I asked, they were selling them off at 12bht, yes 12bht, so I grabbed 6 which will last me at least a year, they are marked sell by May 18 so should be okay . There were about another dozen on the rack if your quick .
