Still showing rows of ham in N/C.  I don't buy ham because of the nitrite** content and don't shop at Asda at the moment* but here's just a tiny snip to prove it's still available up here. There are quite a few rows of them.

* I did before lockdown but they didn't offer any slots at the beginning. We're lucky that we have all the supermarkets here and I used to use most of them  ;D

** I do get Irish Finnebrogue (nitrite free) bacon and  they do do ham as well

The thing is, unless you book a slot, and until you select the actual item it will often still show as available.

It's only when you actually try and add it to your basket, into a booked slot, will it be shown as unavailable or sold out. Sometimes it only does it when you go to the actual checkout.

Just checked on my ASDA branch in Ipswich - nearly all shown as 'out of stock' but there were a few items still available.

How strange - I wonder if there has been a blip in the supply chain?

I added it to my basket, just for you, Trystan  :-\

Ham isn’t a problem is the issue for us. We can’t get Lee & Perrins Worcester sauce.  My husband is getting desperate, he needs it for his baked beans 😂

I don't eat ham so this isn't a problem for me but I've given up on Asda for deliveries now that I've been managing to get slots with Tesco. I found that there were so many items that were out of stock with Asda and even when I'd added things to my basket the night before delivery I'd find on the day that there was a list of things missing.

Love the hambushed comment!  ;D ;D

I am using Asda for home delivery at the moment. Certain things have been out of stock for a while, so getting quite desperate i asked my daughter to see if she could get them on her Tesco click & collect. Success each time.

We've been using Asda during lockdown and they've been very good.  Daughter ordered the turkey bacon rashers which had been available throughout but now are out of stock; but they sent ham instead which isn't a problem. I don't know what we would have done without Asda over the past months.  We now know what it must be like living in a lighthouse, and having the supply tender arriving!
