Later, because I was tired of supermarket ingredients, I began to visit the vegetable market. I have been there once and never want to go to the supermarket again. The seasonal vegetables on those stalls are covered with mud and colorful. The key is to make people catch up with the "season" ~~
In fact, modern British people also have a health care group. For example, the BBC sometimes orders food articles to tell you what to eat in each season.
So, what should we eat in spring in England?
Fruit:
Banana, grapefruit, pomegranate and rhubarb (rhubarb)
According to the BBC, these four fruits are in season at present. The rhubarb mentioned here is the red stalk crop in the supermarket, and many friends may not know it.
Different from the rhubarb used as medicine in China, the rhubarb here tastes very light, but it tastes very waxy and is generally used to make cakes. Because it contains a lot of fiber, this fruit (er, it is still very strange) has the effect of clearing stomach and clearing fire.
Big supermarkets will also sell them, but they will be sold out in one year1-June.
Other fruits can be bought at Whole Foods Supermarket, Waitrose Supermarket and several major markets. Generally speaking, the market will be open on Saturday and Sunday.
vegetables
Seasonal vegetables in April include small potatoes, chicory, watercress, spinach, lotus white, cauliflower and sweet pepper.
I thought there would be mung bean rice, but the BBC said it would be better to eat bean rice next month ~ anyway, spring comes later in Britain.
For western food, ribs soup or salad is a good choice. I like chicory very much. I usually fry it in a steak pan and then mix it with salad.
Edible meat
It is the season to eat mutton and pork. You can go to many independent butcher shops in London to buy some good things ~
aquatic product
Cod, crab, flounder and salmon are all very fat at present ~ As for Qingkou ... Sorry, it's past the season to eat Qingkou.
Well, the seasonal dishes are finished. Here are some places where you can buy good things. Yesterday, a friend asked me to write about the delicious food in major supermarkets (to tell the truth, there are really not many, maybe I am also very picky). I might as well write about where I can buy the best ingredients in London.
Fruit and vegetable shop
Besides the Whole Foods Supermarket in Gao Daquan, I still like to go to the markets and supermarkets opened by my uncle in the Middle East.
Organic company
This supermarket is located in Hackney, a hippie shrine in London, just inside the Broadway market. The owner (if I remember correctly) is from the Balkans, so there will be many cheap and delicious Greek foods in the store, such as olive oil, spices, cheese and so on.
There are many kinds of fruits and vegetables in his family, which are brightly colored and really delicious. Unlike hydroponic vegetables in most supermarkets in Britain, you can know their dishes by buying them once and tasting them. Tomatoes are sweet and sour, vegetables are juicy and crisp, and honeydew melons are especially sweet.
Address: 25 Broadway Market, E84PH, London
Unpackaged
This organic store is located in three stores in London, which is like a miniature version of Whole Foods. In addition to fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, there are super many whole grains and dried fruits in the store. If you want to make porridge, cereal, or buy some soybeans to take home for stew, you must come to this store ~
Address:
11117 Maswell Hill Road, London, zip code 103HS.
22 Torrington Square, London 1E 7HJ
W25SH, 42 Seaborn Road, London
Melrose and Morgan.
It seems to be opened by a couple, with their own cooked food and bread, as well as the specialties of various British islands. This is also my favorite grocery store ~ the small room is full of brightly colored tomatoes, sweet pears, fruit wine, honey, oranges, roast chicken, grilled salmon and so on ~ the taste is not amazing, but it is the kind of warmth and comfort that you will want to eat after working overtime.
Address:
42 Gloucester Street, Camden, London, NW 18JD.
New Aurier Hall, Aurier Square, London, NW3 1QN
As nature wishes.
This organic supermarket is located in Ilya, west of London. The food area can be summed up in one word: colorful! What his family does is actually quite big. Besides food, he also sells skin care products and health products. You can actually go and buy a big box of fruits and vegetables.
Address: 17-2 1 High Street, Ilya, London W55dB.
grocery store
This is a combination of a supermarket and a restaurant. You can have a light meal after shopping. Since the food is produced by independent farmers, a simple roast chicken egg and bacon are delicious (plus a few roasted asparagus). Fruits and vegetables are neatly placed on the shelves. Their shapes are quite irregular, but they are delicious. In particular, carrots and sweet potatoes are really sweeter in organic supermarkets than in other places.
Address: No.52-56, kingsland Road, London E28DP.
Ok, that's all for today's recommendation ~ eat seasonal dishes early.
