Spotted this afternoon in-store at Bidston, 5Kg bags of Kohinoor Extra Long Basmati rice @ just £2 (£8 on-line), and 5 Kg bags of East End Pure Basmati rice for just £1.50! Both had large yellow price signs. Situated at one end of the rice aisle near the back of the store. (Forgot to check 'Best Before' dates)
Probably a local deal, but could be available elsewhere.
I usually buy Tilda Basmati when on offer so cannot comment or recommend either of the rices.

2 packs there again about an hour ago. Got one and left the other (bottom shelf) if anyone in the area is interested.

Don't worry about the best before date - my grandmum and mum say its tastes better the older it gets

used to be good rice now it is POOR quality starchy crap

If you soak it for 10 minutes then rinse a few times it's not starchy at all.

Checked Bidston again his afternoon and sadly, the stack of both rices had all gone. And no more stocks due in,according to Customer Services.
Glad people got a bargain. Wish I'd bought a bag myself yesterday!
I'll expire the deal shortly

Rice causes arsenic poisoning. There is new way to cook rice by soaking overnight and using 5times water.
p4pankaj to sam_of_london
10 Feb 17#40
There's. Cook rice in an open pan with plenty of water just like pasta and then drain the excess water. Rice will come out fluffier and you can cook it to be just as soft as you like by checking every few minutes

Kohinoor is one of the top brands in India

Rice comes from Asia, not EU.

That's correct. Always age for 6 months to a year. You can buy aged Basmati and most of the Kohinoor ones are aged for at least 6 months.

Arsenic. Cant wait to get my fix.
20-30 times more arsenic in rice than ANY other food grown in soil.
Need to soak overnight to reduce the amount consumed.

99% of tesco instore deals on HUKD are local only (and generally OOS in the one store too) :smiley:
No doubt will make one of the deals of the day though :wink:
