Yes, it does sometimes feel as if an international infusion of money is required to get some nice fresh fruit ’n’ veg in this expensive city. (In Turnpike Lane.)

I live just down the road from their flagship store and it is wonderful. They have fruit and veg I have never heard of, cow hearts and sheep heads and all the Polish junk food a person could wish for – and pretty cheap.
