Asda on Old kent Road have Franks. Panic over.
Also, tonight I invented a thing. It's a kind of half and half. courgetti/spaghetti. And I saw that it was good:
Thinly chop and fry in olive oil 2 rashers of bacon till just crispy and set aside. Wipe down pan. Boil large pan of salted water, make courgette "spaghetti" by shredding 2 courgettes lengthways with a mandolin (i have this weird cheap thing from a vietnamese market that makes perfect long thin strands). Keep fresh in a bowl of slightly salted water.
Boil about half the amount of actual spaghetti that you'd usually portion out and meanwhile very very gently fry 3 cloves of garlic in a bit more olive oil. Take a handful of cherry toms, quarter and remove the "jelly" and seeds leaving just the flesh, slice thinly again and chuck in with the garlic, add the bacon to warm through and when the pasta is a few minutes short of being done, add that and the courgette "spaghetti" and a good sprig of fresh thyme. Stir, coat with garlicky, bacony, herby, olive oil for a few mins till the actual spaghetti is just done and the courgette spaghetti still has a bright colour and plenty of bite bite and serve up with grated parmesan and lots of black pepper.
Super simple and very very good.
