Von's

Ah, American supermarkets. Here I am again. Thank god, not in a Gristedes. Sadly, not in a Whole Foods either. I'm in a Von's, which is a pretty bogstandard US supermarket. So I know what to expect.

The apples are enormous.
My pen, added for scale
The eggs are stored in a fridge. And most of them are a horrid pearly white.


The steaks are pre-cut to a thickness our old Saltburn butcher would find ridiculous.


And finding sweetcorn without added salt or sugar is the stuff of a madman's dreams. I might need to start shopping at Whole Foods to keep Lady P in the low-crap diet she is used to.

But at least I'll never need to grate my own cheese again.
Phew

  3. Cumulus, FedEx it to me and I'll have them take care of it. R is mistaken, the attachments are purely designed to take up under used back-of-cupboard space.
