Elbow macaroni
A few years ago, I used to be able to buy it at ASDA, then they stopped selling it (they still do straight macaroni). I then had to trek to Aldi to get it, but they haven't had it for about a year now. I now go to Booth's, which is about twice as far as Aldi and 3 times as far as Asda (I walk everywhere, don't drive).
Any of you buy it or have difficulty finding a store that sells it? Father's Day is this Sunday and I'm making mac-n-cheese for him to go with the meatloaf, and for me, mac-n-cheese just isn't the same without the elbow macaroni.

That said, I was surprised a few months back when ASDA did really develop their dried pasta range. They started stocking many more shapes than they used to. |

He loves my cooking so making something special for him is just as nice as being taken out to eat. The first time he tried my meatloaf (a recipe I got from my mom) he was making noises as he was eating it, lol, like 'om, nom, nom' kind of stuff.

I think that's the brand that ASDA used to sell. Does it have a tartan pattern on the top of the package?
Yes it does - a blue tartan |

One of the reasons I'm a fan of elbows is I that once cooked very long Macaroni, the kind in a blue paper packet, & didn't have the sense to break it up before cooking, unimaginably horrible ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
