No “Fresh” sprouts in Supreme this morning @ 07:40! Next stop Sah, then Starling - missing Erdener as none there yesterday - onwards to Bestmar and fish & chips at Alsancak on the way back home.

Maybe try Erulku tomorrow - lol.

Much that I love fresh sprouts I don't think I'd go to that extent. Would rather go without, certainly won't eat the frozen rubbish.

Thanks, mission success! The search for sprouts 2022 is at an end! The search for Shredded Wheat 2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022 still continues - lol.

Have given up on Shredded Wheat, to the extent that when we had some in UK about July time, it didn't seem to taste the way I can remember it.

Confused now - went in search of the Shredded Wheat but could not get into the Illeli on the Alsacak road due to roadworks. Was that the "Old" Illeli or the "New" Illeli? Plus, which of the two has the Shredded Wheat and/or the Sprouts? Eastsider just returned home full of fish & chips and happy - lol.

Old Illel = Little Ileli or Original Ileli
New Eleli = Large Eleli

Shreddies available for some time now but am after Shredded Wheat so will be down there tomorrow.

Where are Ileli are the Ileli then? I know where one is trapped in the road works on the left hand side of the road - which is that one?????

That's the Old ileli :)

The New / Big ileli / ileli Plus is further along, on the same side, before you get to Green Petrol or Şokmar supermarket.

The old or small original Ileli ( I think no longer trapped if you keep an eye on the cones) has a tendency to be cheaper than the new/large Ileli for a lot of things, and Ive managed to pick up items that I couldn't get elsewhere. Just off to see if they still have sprouts, have my doubts though.

Plenty of Shedded Wheat in the LARGE Ilelli on 24th, NEXT to the Shreddies at the end of the aisle opposite the bread. Hot milk and brown sugar, yummee. Now all I need is to find out where the hell has all the PROPER porridge gone?

Man found in ditch covered in Shredded Wheat wrappers late this morning - police informed and are tracing a cereal thief as we write. Fans of original porridge oats disgusted with the Wheat discrimination in the TRNC are leaving in droves..... More later....

Man was not dead - just covered in wrappers - apparently had collapsed under the weight of many boxes he had purchased, had managed to eat his way free before falling asleep!!!

Contributing to this very sad post, I did see a tray of well cut small sprouts to light green/yellow in one stall at the Girne Wednesday market today!
Anyone seen horseradish plants to be grown for next Christmas?!
