Man, that’s a lot of chillis.

Enough to cause somebody an injury, I’d bet. There should be some sort of warning sign.

Haha the ad on this post in my Google Reader was for Dating Direct. Coincidence? 🙂

Not far from where I’m living, across the border in the Lancastrian town of Nelson, there’s a store called Maria’s Cash & Carry that sells spices loose in barrels and in bags that make your 5Kg ones look like snack packs. What do you do with it all? Feed a large hungry family, I guess. I just buy small quantities myself.

I LOVE pottering about unfamiliar supermarkets, especially those specialising in cuisines I’m not so familiar with.

Most holidays (except safaris out in the bush) I make a point of visiting at least one local supermarket or grocery. I love it!

excellent post! I love Southall, and spent endless hours hanging around in these shops as a kid while my mum got her supplies.
