Title: Window Shopping
Post by Derek on Jul 12th, 2020 at 10:05am
Maggie and my tastes differ when it comes to window shopping. 

For me it’s a good deli or butcher shop.   ;D

Took this photo in Westfield Chermside here in Queensland.

That is like delis of old.
Not many of them around any more.
The big supermarkets have taken over.
I worked in gourmet food wholesale in the late 70s.
I think most of the delis I visited are now long gone.
Thanks for letting me know about this one.
For those who live in SEQ, Adams buchtery and Deli  at Cobalt Street Carole Park. It’s a very good Deli.

Could not agree more Derek, last year in the UK I spent ages in butcher shops talking about their meats and meat products.
Without exception, and whilst the chat is going on, the butcher would slice a smidgin of something off with a "have a taste of this"
It seemed that the British butchers take great pride in their meat specialities with most having a range of their own pork etc. pies, cured sausage and private supply of game meat and wildfowl.

Was hoping to get to the UK one day but this darned virus has made us rethink any overseas travel.
