Here is what I told you all 4 weeks ago.

which has now been confirmed by Tesco. I am very clever you see.


In tesco on Saturday it was only the De Cecco and Barilla pasta that had run out. The inferior cheap stuff was still plentiful which made me realize this was the work of the panicking middle class tossers like Charlie and Berni. Having cleared Waitrose out they then descended on Tesco like a plague of posh braying locusts

Tesco actually mentioned C & B? They've finally made the big time!

Same thing happened here about 4 weeks back. the pasta aisle cleared except for the store brand. Amusingly I am aware that the producer of the store brand is a well regarded local pasta manufacturer that sells to food service vendors that supply many restaurants, including some rather iconic Italian joints around town. Hahaha. Barilla is ****e.
