Actually, while the brands and prices are a bit off, the product selections look similar to what I see in the groceries I hit.

The main difference I detected was the seasonality of the fresh produce. For the most part, stuff out of season is simply harder to find* and/or not quite of the same quality as opposed to being pricier. I suspect we simply have a LOT more hothouses and hydroponic farms in our food chain.




* some particular varietals will come and go, but I can usually find some kind of most of the popular fruits & veggies.

I suspect supermarkets look similar worldwide. Some of those Russian ones are huge.

Dlaw in our plans. School holidays and the sandwich place is closed due to selling out.

Plane B was a new baked potato place.

Think it's Turkish. Kinda like Subway pick your toppings and sauces.

Was still a bit peckish after the potato as it was a light meal/snack. We both felt like coffee. And a cheese roll.

Cheese roll is a regional thing in NZ or at least was. Traditionally the lower half of the south Island. This one was very savory with an onion taste. Butter was beautiful. The restaurant was right over the road from the supermarket.

Sweet chilli relish and caramelized onion and balsamic vinegar chips.

Food week day one. On a Monday the mochas were only $2 USD approx. Tomorrows special is coffee and slice of something for $5 usd.

Pie today was silverside and mustard so might grab that tomorrow if there's any left.

Silverside (corned beef) and mustard pie with relish.

Said pie. We both liked the pie never had that flavour before. Tan slice defeated my wife. It's to sweet for me I lean towards savory. Half inch to almost an inch thick caramel topped with chocolate.

Frosty day so hot coffee and pie was great.

Home made chicken pita tonight.

This brand of pita though who the hell would buy them?

View attachment 140902

First time I've actually looked at the company that makes em.
We actually finished off the Popeye’s chicken tonight! I deboned and skinned it last night, and made chicken salad with it.

.and coincidentally served Mom’s on the last piece of pita we had, lightly toasted. (Mine was on toasted white.)

Were those thick or like the thin pocket style?
