First Trip to the Tesco (the Supermarket)

Well after we got a couple of hours of light sleep we needed to head off into town to find the local grocery store so that we could have food to eat. We were footing it because we didn't feel up to going to the car rental place to pick up the car. As we ventured on the streets (actually very narrow sidewalks) we tried to navigate our way to the local metro Tesco which is one of the major types supermarkets in the UK. Grocery shopping is hard enough when your are tired and the store is packed but when you don't know any of the brands or how different things taste it makes it a real gamble when you pick up that jar of sauce that looks like something you used to buy at home. We put our money on something they call white lasagna sauce which we assumed was like alfredo sauce. When we got home I looked at the label and the first few ingredients were water, oil, and eggs....no mention of cheese at all. Needless to say we both tried it, but my share was sparing and I am warning you all that white lasagna sauce is like pouring liquid mayo on your noodles...try it at your own risk. But we did find some other great foods. The fruits and vegetables are unbelieveably fresh and are equal in price or cheaper than the produce we get back home. Chicken breasts were about 5 British pounds for four breasts so it was about $10 for 4 chicken breasts...pretty pricey, but I think they go on sale sometime.
