Went to the Morrisons grocery store in 'the burbs' today. The place was HUGE!!! Bigger than most normal grocery stores in the states (okay, not Target Greatland or Super WM size, but still big), and MONSTEROUS compared to the downtown stores. Tons of odd veggies and fruits, good breads - although the bakery guy didn't know what Sourdough bread was. I was able to find Monterey Jack cheese for the boys, and Mexican Cheddar (no pepper jack here though).
We ate at the burrito place in town for lunch today. They misspelled Pico de Galo (Galo? Really?) on the menu, and they actually asked if we'd been there before. Uh, no, but I think we know what a burrito is. It was pretty good - not great Tex Mex - but as usual the meat was really good.
I've discovered Hard Cider - better here than the states I say - since they don't have any Pale Ales here, and the ones they do have I don't care much for. They had Sierra Nevada (California's budweiser we call it) in Morrisons for about $3/bottle! Geez, and I thought Utah beer was expensive!
I must admit that they make great Pizza here. Not that we have bad pizza in the states, but they have everything imaginable on a pizza, and they seem to mix the flavors up nicely. Chicken Tikka Masala pizza, bacon, pepperoni & sausage pizza, chorizo, eggplant, fresh lettuces (they have some flavorful lettuces here), all kinds of cheeses of course You name it, and they'll put in on a pizza and somehow have it taste good - not weird. ...Deb
First thing that came to mind when you shared on hard cider, getting used to drinking beer at room temp in Australia. It was sure good though! Haven't had any good cider here for awhile. Looking for some not pasteurized and natural which I'm guessing it is over there.
