A stroll through an Irish supermarket

[dianeduane]

For those of you who may be interested:

The Irish recipe pages at our European Cuisines website are constantly getting search-engine hits from people asking "What do Irish people eat?". With that in mind, we've put a new page up that talks about the subject -- in very broad strokes -- and links to a Flickr photoset of images from our local supermarket, Gillespies' SuperValu of Baltinglass, County Wicklow. (You can also view the images as a slideshow, if you like.) Anyway, if you've been wondering what a small-town supermarket in Ireland might offer, here's your chance to find out.

There are also links on the "What do Irish people eat?" page to our Irish recipe collections, if you're interested.

I wonder what Marks&Spencer would think of people taking pictures in there. It'd be impossible (at least in the one in Cork) to do so without several dozen people in each shot even if they were amenable to it. Nor would I actually be inclined to, because although M&S has very good fruit, the whole prepackagedness of their entire food section makes me feel slightly nervous. I have no idea why. It's Just Wrong!

That's a great article. Thanks for linking to it!
