I talk a lot about pet peeves on here but something that has recently come up in some baking groups is for people to just suggest to buy something. Like, already I hated advice like that because you never know someone’s financial/living situation but now even more so.
And for some reason unbeknownst to me, the UK shops that normally we can get things from just won’t ship certain things. UK Amazon is our amazon too, but a lot of places will not ship to Ireland. Many other stores that are in both countries will have more products in the UK

Again, no one’s fault that this happens (at least not the folks giving advice) I just wish people would stop assuming everything is like North America.

It was a shock when I moved here that I couldn’t just buy everything I needed at one place. I have to go to minimum two these days to get stuff for lockdown purposes. In normal times it’s upwards to 4, 5, or 6 depending on the week.

My local shop doesn’t carry dried pulses for example, and doesn’t restock its spices, or it does very rarely. So I have to go to other shops that are further away to get spices and things like dried lentils.

It can be frustrating but the shops are much smaller. My local shop is maybe the size of two gas stations put together, if I had to approximate the size.
