One thing I have been struggling with whilst being here has been the lack of similar food. We go to cook a chilli, and they don’t have chilli powder, just paella spice! We go to cook shepherds pie, and they don’t even know what gravy is, which wipes out about 50% of the meals that I could cook! However the food market turned that around. Full of about 100 stores absolutely full of food, whatever you could wish for, for next to nothing in price made up for the fact that the only thing you can buy in Carrefour (the local supermarket) is cured meat and Frankfurt sausages. Definitely going to have to try and buy some of our food from here.
