Doesn't seem to be any brand of beef stock cubes available, in Paps or Lidl. I asked in Paps and they said "out of stock" (No pun intended!)
Fortunately I'm going to the UK so will be able to bring some back with me, although they sometimes cause concern at airport security.

Lidl do not have the beef stock cubes ever, they only stock (!) chicken and veg ones. Philippos have beef ones but they are not Oxo, I think they are Knorr.

This is a bit of a phenomenon here and I don't know what the answer is. Majority of stores seem to run out of the same product at the sane time, and it can be weeks before it reappears. I remember quite a few weeks ago, couldn't get mini cheddars anywhere, my granddaughter used to take them in her pack up to school. Totally unavailable all over Paphos. Rappeared about 2/3 months later. Weird. I've seen it so many times.
Anyone have an explanation??

Had the same problem for a while now, can’t find them anywhere we normally shop, resorted to Mrs W bringing a load back on her last trip to U.K.

Guessed it was summat along those lines Lloyd, but couldn't really get my head round it. Happens so many times. As you say, simple stock control! Keep coming back to the Mini Cheddars, only because my granddaughter just couldn't understand why they weren't available, and I couldn't giver her an answer, then out of the blue they appeared again, everywhere!

The Oxo Bull market has soon slid into a bit of a Bear market if you will excuse the pun

What you need to remember is Beef, isn't the No 1 meat of choice for Cypriots, Pork, followed by chicken and lamb, also hardly any Cypriot Beef recipes call for beef stock cubes, hence the low demand for them here,as HIC said, there is one distributor for oxo cubes here in Cyprus MPM Group, they distribute a wide range of stuff,so they tend to order new stock when existing stock has nearly run out, reason for this is, they don't want to be stuck with nearly out of date goods, which they then, have to put on special offer, one plus one etc to shift them, losing them money.
