While it never was, and still doesn't seem to be my plan, i've been scoping out london to see if its somewhere i could live. Thus far it's been alright, but nothing to write home about - I still miss melbourne! However yesterday I found one thing london has going for it.
The whole food market. It's the most amazing supermarket i've encountered - it trounced the pants off harrods food section and certainly puts total and utter shame to anything australia can offer. It's like taking everything good that the Vic markets has, adding even more good stuff and then packaging it into convient supermarket form.
Sadly though, in comformation with my last post on money all i oculd really do was look. While the prices didn't seem out of whack with other supermarkets, it was certainly out of my league while spending AUD. I had to walk past the isle dedicated to dark chocolate - they had 100% pure dark chocolate, but at near £4 a block, i guess i'll just have to stick to the memory lindt 85%. They even had coopers pale ale - though again at £2.80 a bottle, I'll just have to wait till my return.
I did come away with a french loaf and a tiny wheel of brie for £2.60 - it lasted 2 meals so definitly good value.
