No problem if the shops do not stock it before xmas, 2 weeks ago someone was selling a £1.29 jar of Branston for £150.00 on ebay, not bad profit. Also as stated lard is not being imported anymore so according to the papers there is a shortage of mince pies, puddings etc. Have not seen that yet our safeways is packed with them. Having said that you try and buy lard anywhere it has become impossible.

Why would we have to import lard? For pastry use Trex or any type of soft marg - I use Tesco - makes melt-in-the-mouth pastry. As for Branstons since I began to make my Colonels Chutney some years ago - friends and relatives only buy Branston as a last resort! Ann
