Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted Crisis.... there is none in Spinneys, Metro, Royal House, the Import Shop or Ragabs in Heliopolis. (Only Oscars to try) Wtf amd I meant to do without HP!!!??? Anyone in Heliopolis know of anywhere definetly still selling it? ( i mean for sure so we can go get a batch)
Clear and QSY Member # 15597	posted Try Gourmet Egypt in Maadi. They will deliver if it's too far for you to go. I used to buy it there because it was the closest thing to A-1 or Heinz 57 that I could find. http://www.gourmetegypt.com/ Sorry but when we moved a half bottle ended up getting tossed. I would have given it to you if I had known.
Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted Nah, just checked, Gourmet only has Colemans stuff that I recognised. I have just walked round Midan Heliopolis too looking in little shops and nothing. Looks like another luxury has bitten the dust for a while. I will survive, just!
LovedOne Member # 10222	posted You know what is strange? lol, well, a lot of things here in Egypt, but in particular, regarding the issue of foods gone missing, I have not been able to find the particular brand of soy sauce that I like. We've checked Metro which usually stock it and even went to Alfa as I had seen it there before, but I've been checking for several months and can not find the brand I used to buy. I know there are other brands of soy sauce but I'm unwilling to pay 30 plus pounds to find out if something tastes like crud or not. Is this something normal, that foods stop being imported for a while and then come back? Or just stop all together? Also, how on earth, and I am asking in all seriousness, can Alfa market charge 50 pounds for a bag of stinkin pretzels???!!! This made me so mad!! No way I'd pay 50 pounds for pretzels, it's like paying 50 pounds for a bag of crisps! Grrrrr...... I can have a look for brown sauce round this way but I guess it's a bit far for you to come?
Mo Ning Min E Member # 681	posted Don't they a have Fathalla near you? Always got it there. In a saddo moment I discovered that if you buy the 'fruity' one you can almost convince yourself you've got Branston pickle on your cheese sarnie.
Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted I bring Branston in from the UK. I cannot seetle for anything other than the actual thing, I would rather go without. Where is Fathalla? What is Fathalla?
Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted Sorry, I read it wrong, I thought you asked if Fathalla by me sold it... see, the withdrawal is getting to me!. I saw a good Worcester Sauce range though on my hunt! And all kinds of Heinz stuff! LO, where are you (ish is fine... not your exact address lol)
Mo Ning Min E Member # 681	posted Oh God, you are planning to to come and steal my HP sauce? Alexandria....ish.
Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted Bit far for a condiment theft I think. I am travelling in 7 weeks to the UK (am counting) so I will stock up sachets from ropey roadside cafes.... free HP. I will keep looking though... I cannot eat cheese and onion pasties without it!!!
Dzosser Member # 9572	posted I've checked Petro (phone 33450073) Mohandessin zone, he said its missing for some time now, maybe by next week he'll be having some. If Magdi (owner who is fluently multilingual)says its missing then it must be really out of stock everywhere else.
Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted Ah cheers DZ. As long as I know it is unobtainable then I can save shoe leather looking for it. I even have folk in other districts looking for me... Why is it all the nice stuff vanishes

No way I'd pay 50 pounds for pretzels, it's like paying 50 pounds for a bag of crisps! Grrrrr...... Yes, it is common. It used to be hit or miss whether or not I would find Cheezits at Carrefour. Usually I would have luck by looking around on the bottom shelves and would find a crushed and crumpled box shoved in a corner. And I once paid 95 LE for a package of Oreos. Sucks when you have a craving for something in Egypt and it's all imported stuff.
Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted I remember back in the early 90's when cans of Coca Cola were a rarity... We used to go to 'Flash' supermarket and stock up if we saw them. One thing I see now which I know is one of the first things to be gone in a instant is Heinz beans and Heinz soup... I don't care about the price, I buy them all up and store them. Did I mention I bought two boxes of Matchmakers for Christmas (a must) and they cost be 120le for 2 boxes lol...
AntonD1 Member # 16387	posted It's you who has all the beans then. I've been trying to get some again now for months.
Shanta Qadeama Member # 9889	posted Spinneys have got 'white beans in tomato sauce' don't know how they compare in taste? The pic on the tin looks the same!
Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted Yup If you want to know where best to look go to Royal House by Merryland. They usually have a batch in. And they have a good array of goods other stores don't have
Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted SUCCESS. Somebody got me 3 bottles from Royal House as they have re-stocked and one friend got me one bottle from Gourmet as they sell it in store but just don't advertise online. FOUR bottles... muhahaha

Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted I wasn't gonna risk paying more in a taxi than I would for the sauce to go find out lol. Bit daft not advertising all your products online really if you do an online delivery service. Anyhoo, we also got pork sausages from Ma'adi to go with the sauce. DZ... tell your dude it is back on sale SQ and Anton, the guys were saying last night that California Garden (I think that't the name) taste just like Heinz beans.
Exiiled Member # 17278	posted Congrats on procuring your stash Cheeky. Getting something that you like/love via effort is cool. This is one cool thing about Egypt, and I know it may sound weird but it's cool to miss and appreciate things and obtain them in a non routine way. Yeah...whatever, just talking out my @ss.
marydot Member # 15932	posted Brown sauce on toast is good.
