Finally, Waitrose have sorted it out.
Waitrose, which ran out of its own-brand dried pasta at the start of April, has promised its shelves will be fully stocked within two weeks.
The fettuccine famine has been caused by a row between the supermarket group and its supplier in Italy over “quality issues”.

The Waitrose own label was the only whole-wheat pasta I could find that a) tasted nice, and b) reasonably priced. I’m looking forward to it’s return.
Hmm… Of mainstream media outlets only the Torygraph covered the news of Waitrose’s pasta problems. It’s not tititaled many blogs either. Crikey does that make me one of the “Waitrose” voters David Cameron and Michael Gove were after? Source: Party aims for supermarket sweep [The Observer]
Pasta famine ah? Bloody hell Mustafa, I feel a long way from London now
