I wondered why that was no longer showing up in my favourites list! I have managed to grow the long, thin varieties here in an unheated greenhouse in Southern Scotland.
Tescos have also discontinued a lot of their organic range, which is very disappointing. If there was a local organic veg box scheme near me, I would use it. In the meantime, I will try to grow more in the garden. Wish we had a nearby farm shop, too. The best one is about 45 mins drive from here.
I donāt understand Tescoās at all, why would they discontinue aubergines. I love those in Mousaka and Ratatouille.

I love auberginesā¦and Tesco are still featuring moussaka and stuffed aubergines on their recipe pages!
Unfortunately, the main ingredient in both is unavailable to buy at their storesā¦
However, Sainsburys happily delivered a beautiful plump aubergine to me this morning

Maybe itās just some stores that have stopped stocking it. My shopping comes from the Dumfries branch. ā¦
Have just checked and they are now available again - havenāt been for a few weeks! Perhaps someone is reading this thread!

Iāve only recently started eating aubergines, much nicer than what I remember. Maybe itās my age and taste buds changing. Iām also trying new recipes as Iām trying to eat less meat.
I only shop at Tesco if Iām desperate.

I now have 8 aubergine plants looking very smug with themselves in the polytunnel so fingers crossed for a bumper crop. If any one has any idea what to do with tomatillos Iād love to hear them - they are flowering already so I should get some fruit at some point.
