Part of the fun of going to live in an unknown place is not having any idea of what the shop sells (until you get inside). Well, Bureau Gros and Pharmaprix give you a clue. But I mostly go into Loblaws, IGA and SuperC - all varieties of épicerie (rather than supermarché). There are dozens of kinds of fresh fruit and veg, but also endless shelves stuffed with convenience foods. But masses of choice, which I like as I spend lots of money on food.
Also, KFC is known here as PFK (Poulet Frite de Kentucky) which just looks odd on the signs because it seems like a completely different brand. Anyone know if it's PFK in France - as they've surely got a market there by now?
I haven't found a cheddar that is mature enough - the 'aged, extra fort' is medium flavour ... cheese is surprisingly expensive - especially European imports!
Coloured cauliflower - orange and green varieties here ... I stick to white.
So many onions - they even have button onions in different colours.
Apples? My apple crumble was made with Granny Smiths and it tasted great. And I'd never seen red delicious before coming here.
Horsemeat is on sale, but labelled as such - haha!
