      My wife is used to weird supermarket substitutions, if I do the shopping...

      Her: "Can you get 2 litres of milk?"

      later...

      Me: "I got 1 litre of milk, some cheese and 6 bottles of red wine"
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          Cabbage for lettuce... Fast food giant KFC has been forced to put cabbage in its burgers and wraps in Australia as the country is struggling with a shortage of lettuce.

            Your choice of random items is a little disconcerting!

                  She's been listening to that Ballad of Lidl and Aldi again.

                    The last Oz government didn't believe in it.

                      well floods that are probably aggravated by poor planning.

                      On its website KFC Australia said: "Due to the recent floods in NSW [New South Wales] and QLD [Queensland] we're currently experiencing a lettuce shortage. So, we're using a lettuce and cabbage blend on all products containing lettuce until further notice."
                      However they also suffered

                      In January, KFC Australia had to modify its menu due to a lack of its key ingredient, chicken.

                      That was caused by a shortage of staff at Australia's biggest chicken supplier, Ingham's, due to the "rapid spread of the Omicron variant across eastern Australian states" at the end of last year.

                      Meanwhile, the world's biggest fast food company McDonald's suffered a shortage of chips in some of its Asian outlets, including those in Japan and Singapore, due to the global supply chain crisis.

                      Like countries around the world, Australia has been hit by food supply chain issues caused by the war in Ukraine and the pandemic.

                      Australia's own food production has also been affected by extreme weather events such as major flooding on the east coast earlier this year.
