    Can't find fromage frais... ANYWHERE!

    Hello, I'm new, just joined SW last night.

    My downfall is dressings... I can't eat food without a sauce.

    ... Mayo
    ... Honey & Mustard
    ... Sweet chilli

    EVERYTHING!

    So I saw loads of ideas in the mags that use fromage frais, but I just can't find it anywhere. I've tried Asda, Morrisons & Tesco and I've been looking in the yogurt isle.

    Am I just missing it, or is it only sold in specific shops?

    Thank you

    I bought some in tesco last week but had trouble finding it! It was with the cheeses. I'm sure they used to do a couple of types but now there's only one big tub of the light choices. I had to ask someone, so ask just in case you've missed it.

    Got some "good for you" less than 1% fat fromage frais from asda today - was on cheese aisle high up. Took me a while!

    In our Tescos its in the yog aisle (but next to the cheeses!)

    In Morrisons today and hunted high and low for cottage cheese - they'd decided it was best with the houmous etc!!! Numpties!!

    All supermarkets should have a designated SW aisle lol

    It's also next to the Greek Yog in my Asda too.

    Quark is my supermarket pet peeve- they must only get 6 in at a time and when it's gone, it's gone! I ended up buying 4 once because I knew I'd struggle to get it and we were particularly fond of a pasta recipe at the time.

    Think Sainsburys and Morrisons are the only ones that do it! Luckily, I shop in Sainsburys and usually I don't have trouble getting it as the shelf is full most of the time.

    Both asda and tesco do it around these parts but it took me months to find it, partly because there is never any on the shelf! It's in the continental cheese section, would you believe?
