edited November 2011 in Chit chat
is it almost impossible to find to buy these days or is it just me?

all the shops and supermarkets round here sell all heinz apart from mushroom, i found ONE can in one of those discount type stores in middlesbrough a while back, it was hidden in with another heinz variety, there wasnt even a mushroom section on the shelf lol

seems theyre making it extinct by the backdoor or thats what it seems like to me Oo

    Yep, you get still get it.

    I like it. It's not bad for making a quick sauce for pasta either.

    Count yerself lucky mister!

    You can't get any Heinz soups here in the US, unless you go looking for it really hard, and it costs a bloody arm and a leg, and you can only get tomato and chicken which are both sh*t! I'd love some a can of Heinz tatey n' leek soup, that stuff is yumster yumster.

    Now Campbells soup that stuff is everywhere, but no Campbells Meatballs...must grumble!

    Don't know if you can get Heinz soups in Canada either.. We have Ketchup & HP Sauce so maybe.. Haven't really looked though. Campbell's is definitely more prevalent up here anyway.. Had some Campbell's Cream of Mushroom yesterday.. It was warming and nutritious. (Yes, I know that was Oxtail.)

    Can't stand soup of any format, but did go out mushrooming in some local Woods at the weekend and came back with a basket full of lovely pied au mouton (or hedgehog mushrooms as they are called over here). lovely and tasty fried to I some butter and put on some nice toast

    Hear hear....evil filth the lot of them, even the magic ones, I used to come very close to vomiting every time I tripped on those, not cos' of the poison in them either but because they were mushrooms.

    Fact: They grow them in horse poo. That's another reason not to eat them:-

    i really went off mushroom soup, its far too bland, i just end up putting heaps of salt on it.

    like mushrooms though, love em raw

    Top 3 soups for me have to be:

    - Minestrone
    - Tomato
    - Chicken

    Minestrone cup-a-soup takes some careful cooking; you have to make sure the croutons absorb enough water but if you leave them too long before eating them they go all soggy. I'd like to see them try that on Masterchef.

    yeah I have recently got into these. carrot + corriander one is nicest imo, tomato + basil.all of them tbh. except - ironically- the only one of theirs I can't have is mushroom because it's got wine in it and Im allergic to wine

    I can kind of understand that because the opposite happens to me with parsnips. I physically gag if I have to eat a cooked parsnip, but parsnip soup is lovely! dunno how that works

    Sainsburys have lots of cans of mushroom soup in the NI branches

    Though the bastards have changed the Oxtail soup so it has no taste or tang, but tastes very very sweet
