Im slightly worried the UK is losing its traditional cusine style

Funny you say that Ralph because I find that the grocery stores here carry a staggering selection of imported/foreign foods than they ever did in the past and it gets better all the time. And some of them are the same chain as in the US like Safeway, A&P. I'll have to nip over to the A&P or Kroger in Michigan and see what sort of selection they have.

I just got back from

my favourite supermarket, Acme Fresh Market. This is NO relation to the Philadelphia area chain. This is an Akron based, family owned chain, founded in 1891!

I have found that finding a good market, getting to know the staff, treating them with respect, and going regularly will reap BIG dividends.

Yes, some things are "special order", but since I am known, they always come through for me. It may be useful to remember this supermarket business saying: "For every customer who asks for a product, there are three who want it, but won't ask."

Link is to the chain, not just my local store.
