I am generally a fan of British supermarkets, and British foodstuffs in general. For one, there are no decent sized tranches of bacon available here. Only, sometimes, the local supermarket as a single thick tranch in a packet. The normal bacon is all so thin it's translucent. In the UK, you have normal amounts of bacon, and normal sized tranches.
In Holland, the only canned meat they have is Goulash or Meatballs in Tomato Sauce (I can't taste the difference). I, being a fan of meaty snacks, always enjoy the canned meat in England, where it actually has some variety. Then there is the larger amount of good sugar free food available, and the odd tastes of patato chips (though I still can't eat vinegar or prawn cocktail).
And when our car isn't filled with canned meat and frozen bacon, I fill it up with paperback books, costing only L5,99 in the UK, but 20 Euro's in Holland.
Ok, what was the point of this thread/post again?
