Checked out the junket in the local supermarket today. It IS Hansons
brand
but the pic on the pack is different to the one at the website I quoted.


Thanks. With Hansons having ceased production at the end of 2005, it
sounds like the suppliers to your supermarket are drawing from a
stockpile. The tablets should be good for at least 3 or 4 years I'd
say, anyway.

As I'm limited to a text browser (no pics) I can't comment on any
illustration on the pack though.

I'm going to experiment with an extract of thistle flowers as an
alternative source of the rennin enzyme. I'd try the nettles, except I
haven't seen any stinging nettles since I was a kid and accidently ran
into a patch of nettles on a farm when a dog chased me as I edged too
close
when admiring its newborn puppies! Do stinging nettles even grow wild
anywhere in Oz?

Maybe I'll crosspost the results of my thistle investigation to a
survivalism group! :-)


i would be interested to know, too :-) jackie french is on about nettles all
the time yet i too have not seen them except once or twice as a kid.
(perhaps she grows them specially).
