Britons are searching high and low for a £1 salt and pepper seasoning from Home Bargains. The pre-made seasoning is causing concern. The rush has been caused by a wave of fans praising the seasoning on social media.
Chinese salt and pepper dishes are popular takeaway classics.
The dish is usually made simply, with chicken thigh.
Traditionally the dish includes salt, Chinese five spice powder, black pepper, spring onions, red chilli and garlic.
