Some time ago, Bovril mysteriously vanished from the shelves as has ordinary plum jam, though Bovril returned. Now, for some reason, Kikkoman Soy Sauce has bitten the dust too. Kikkoman is arguably the best of the mass-market soy sauces (even sleb chefs on TV use the stuff – I think it goes beyond product placement, [...]
