    we had Tesco stores here, called "fresh & easy" but not very long, they were mostly situated in the southwest (mostly california) and never made it up north. Duh-bya's recession killed them off. i guess Sainsbury's had also been talking about expanding to the US about that same time but it never happened.

    i've always liked cash & Carry, it's a wholesale/warehouse store kind of like costco but mainly for restaurants and foodservice, so they don't have all the general merchandise that costco has and mostly deals in groceries. though if you want professional-grade kitchen tools/dishes/silverware and cleaning supplies that's where to go. stuff you won't find in mainstream markets like Fred meyers or Safeway, costco maybe for some things but i don't shop there myself (not a member) unless I'm with my mom.

    Scouse

    Scouse is a type of stew, typically made from chunks of meat, usually beef or lamb, potatoes and onion. It is particularly associated with the port of Liverpool, which is why the inhabitants of that city are often referred to as "scousers". The word comes from lobscouse, a stew commonly eaten by sailors throughout northern Europe in the past and surviving in different forms there today

    I saved a copy of that.
    In the 1950s:
    Nobody talked about food. No newspaper had a food columnist.
    Milk was good for everyone.
    Margarine and "vegetable oil" were healthy alternatives to butter, dripping and lard.
    Muesli actually dates back to the 1930s. Another so called "health food."
