Even around here the tiny Mexican grocers and Hmong grocers sell better vegetables and fruits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-54268910431328729072011-11-23T11:35:52.340+01:002011-11-23T11:35:52.340+01:00Carrefour is nice too though, and isn't there ...Carrefour is nice too though, and isn't there another chain as well?

I'll take notes next time I make it and see if I can write it down for you!<br /><br />BB - Of course I love French grocery stores, including the SuperU. After a holiday, coming home to Czech supermarkets can turn even grown men morose. My dream would be for the SuperU to come to us rather than remaining an exotic experience.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381204473168533313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-8605848373220433172011-11-23T11:25:18.675+01:002011-11-23T11:25:18.675+01:00Try Carrefour.

It has aspirations to becoming the Waitrose of French supermarkets.<br /><br />But I confess a sentimental if rather tenuous attachment to Super U. Most of our holiday shopping was done at the Super U in Lodève but occasionally we went to the Hyper U in Clermont-l'-Hérault. "Is it called Hyper because it's bigger?" asked Zach, and our hearts swelled with pride at his completely off-the-cuff question.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-3619570708279629212011-11-23T10:03:15.755+01:002011-11-23T10:03:15.755+01:00Oh good, I like a good food rant!
