Getting Musks Sausages in London
I like my sausages and they have to be gluten-free. But finding my preferred brand of Musks in London is difficult. It used to be that you could buy them in some Waitrose shops and I definitely saw some in Canary Wharf. But after a trip on Friday especially to the shop, they were no longer there.
I could get them mail order, but really I only like to buy a pack occasionally and don’t want to buy a freezer full.
So does anybody know a shop that sells Musks gluten-free sausages in London.
I can get Black Farmer ones in Sainsburys at Upper Street, but although I like them, I prefer the Musks, as they are not so filling.
Update on the 10th March 2011 – I’ve found some in the Brunswick Branch. The only trouble is that that is an expensive Waitrose to visit, as I can’t resist buying a snack or even lunch in the Carluccio’s there.
Carluccio’s Gluten-Free Pasta
Here it is in its packaging in Upper Street.
Carluccio's Gluten-Free Pasta
I don’t know whether this is the final packaging, but at least it stands out from the other pasta.
Carluccio’s Have Formalised the Gluten-Free Breakfast Menu
I was in the Upper Street branch today and the manager showed me a copy of their gluten-free breakfast menu. Effectively, they’ve had it for some time, but it’s now properly printed.
He also said that they are doing a lot of gluten-free meals.
Carluccio’s to Sell Gluten Free Pasta in Their Delis
I have just received this message from Carluccio’s.
I just wanted to drop you a line to say from this week we have added the Gluten Free pasta into our range across all the delis and so it is available to buy for £2.95 for 500gm packet.
It ceertainly is pretty good pasta. I’ve just got to learn how to cook it properly.
Carluccio’s Start Selling Gluten-Free Pasta
According to the manager of their Islington Upper Street branch, they’ve now started selling the gluten-free pasta they serve in the caffes in the attached shops, where the demand is strong enough.
But yet again we have another reputable company targeting the coeliac market. Who’d be a specialist gluten-free food manufacturer?
They’ll be one main group of winners; coeliacs like me.
Carluccio’s Offer
Carluccio’s are now giving out vouchers for a two for one offer on main courses to customers. There are a few conditions, but none would seem to apply to the gluten-free menu. They must be used between the 4th January and the 13th of February next year. I suspect that won’t be a problem for me, as I’m now well known in the Upper Street branch and eat there at least twice a week with my son.
