The Thousands

There is a borscht slowly digesting in my belly that could put hairs on a Russian grandma’s chest, pack her carpet bags full of silver, and take her floating to New Mexico to play cards with a range of worthy suitors. The ingredients were bought for the smallest possible number of pennies at my new favourite place – Galati and Sons.

I dare any vegan to step inside and not wholeheartedly enter this cheese heaven, mouth open wide! It has the best ever smallgoods, the freshest, cheapest fruit and veggies AND a million continental bargains, like 79c Belgian waffles. Mmmm. Waffles.

Even though Galati’s produce wonderland is (at least) a forty-five minute drive from my house, for Galati only I will put aside my good intentions to drive less/save the planet. Especially next Saturday when they have a cheese cutting ceremony for the 3.5 metre cheese hanging from the ceiling. Ay yai yai!
