Pulled in at Tesco with a view to provisioning for the coming week, the new dictate regarding tinned food coming immediately into force. The net result was that whole swathes of the store were now, what amounted to, no go areas.
Of course it would be impossible to reproduce the diet of the last three weeks in all its diversity; a customer could easily be left searching the aisles in vain for Live Eels, Chickens Feet, or Goat's Udder. The only goat products regularly stocked relate purely to the contents of the udder.
At the fresh fish counter all the fish are dead so they're not really that fresh. I bought a bag of Cashew nuts the only purchase in a full trolley that has the potential to keep longer than about three days.

I bought cashew nuts as well yesterday, albeit from Lidl. Weaning myself off Tesco. Every Little Helps.
I find one meets a better class of shopper in Tesco. Any saving at Lidl would have to be offset against the dampening of the spirit incurred.
he heh - I know what you mean about Tesco ... or Sainsbury's, Waitrose and even Somerfields (sp?). You guys really do have amazing supermarkets, and coming from various parts of Asia, it's always a pleasant time to say "Hello Tesco!".
Don't mean to piss on yer party, but while you're being selective on food and its consequences - I understand the reality behind the job of shelling and splitting cashew nuts is horrific for the labourers who do it for us - I have seen the photos, and am now in the quandry; do I fogo the consumption of this fine nut, in order to save some people's hands, or will my actions cause them to be unemployed and starve? Gawd we in the West have been shit to a lot of people!
When I was a lad the only nuts came at christmas and you had to crack them yourself, maybe they should employ some sort of endangered parrot with the requisite beak strength?
