    Agreed. As long as it doesn't lead to a Broon Sauce shortage, then all is good.

    I have to disagree LM, a BLT is one of the greats, like Bacon & Egg in a soda farl.

    “ Spanish snow storm leads to UK salad shortage

    Lettuce and tomato supplies hit by Storm Filomena, piling extra pressure on retailers and suppliers

    January is a month when Britons turn to salads after the Christmas blowout. But now, on top of the disruption caused by Brexit and Covid, even the weather is conspiring against dieters by causing shortages in UK supermarkets.

    The supply of salad staples such as lettuce and tomatoes has been hit by Storm Filomena, the worst snowstorm to hit Spain in 50 years. It blanketed Madrid and the surrounding area and sent temperatures plummeting to record lows in Almería and Granada, two important vegetable growing regions.

    The bad weather has piled extra pressure on UK food retailers and suppliers at a time when they are navigating complex new post-Brexit border controls as well as coronavirus restrictions.“
