Cloves (whole)

[Dodo1]

Hi

Noticed that all local shops have sold out, but the Tesco's behind The London Hospital has plenty; if you're willing to make the trip!

Ha - I went to Zanzibar about 20 years ago and came back with a big bag of cloves (everybody does). I remember sitting on the flight home thinking "what got into me with the cloves shopping?". I've been using them ever since and only just used them up. They last for ever and ever. It's true. Everybody off to Zanzibar in the New Year so you won't have the curse of Tesco on a Christmas Eve for 20 years to come. Alternatively, whatever you don't have just tell yourself you don't need it.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Are they used mainly for bread sauce and mulled wine?

I have an untouched jar.

You stick 'em in oranges to make those Xmas decorations.
