The Australian supermarket experience


Being such a sunny country, you would think that Australia had an abundance of lovely fruit and veg in the supermarket: you would be very wrong. Our local supermarket is Woolworths (nothing to do with the English Woolies) and some of the crap they sell in there is unbelievable; often the fruit is swarming with flies, or bruised, and the vegetables leave little to be desired. It can be quite a depressing experience! Luckily though today Harris Farm Markets is opening in Potts Point woooo! We first discovered this family run fruit and veg shop when we were living in our last house - it's an absolute god-send, selling delicious, cheap and seasonal fruit and veg. It also has a yummy deli and cheese counter, and a bakery plus it stocks other posh goodies which you can't buy in normal supermarkets. So tonight, sad as this might be for two 24 year olds, we have decided to make an evening of it: we're going out to a pizzeria near our house for dinner and then we're going are going to indulge in some delicious goods from Harris. Very exciting!
