where have all the oat bars gone?

 That's the gluten free ones I mean. 

The types of gluten free foods you can get, and the number of them go up and down like a you know what.

One day you see three or four varieties of a certain type. You go back a fortnight later and not one shop has any, and has no idea if they can get anymore or not.

Some supermarkets seem to bring out their own brand, and then drop it. The usual excuse is 'ohh there's no call for them', or 'we don't sell enough'.

 No, because you've never got enough stocked, or chose where to send them at random.

(Boy am I now on a rant, sorry) 

The other excuse I got once, 'was oh people aren't eating gluten free stuff any more'!!!

Excuse me while I fall on the floor and have a screaming fit! Or wonder...why?

Do they know how many people are Coeliac or intolerant? For those people it's not a lifestyle choice or a fad, it's a bleeping necessity.

And for those of us, we scour the shelves and mourn the fact that the choices are limited. And expensive.

And wonder where (if anywhere) we can get our favourites again.

These for instance, amongst others.

(I've eaten all mine)

To say I like(d) them, was an understatement. Also the other flavours like choc chips and honey.

I've finished my last one and now what?

They're really handy to take out so if you can't get lunch or breakfast or whatever, you've got something you can eat.

Or they would be if you could get them.

Okay, rant over.

And, yes, I know there are some good brands out there that still exist, and to them I say a big thank you. I have you stashed in every handbag and in the car. 

But I do wish the range could increase in size and decrease in cost, just a wee bit. (Yes I kow everything has gone up, but if you ever look down the Gluten-free section beware of having to do a double take!)

Anyway to finish on a high note, Bizzie Lizzies by the canal bridge in Skipton, North Yorkshire, does amazing G-F fish and chips.
