Question of the Week - Where are you from and where do you shop

[Guest guest]

Where are you from......?

 

I live in Battle Creek, MI - which is halfway between Detroit and Chicago

 

and.......

 

what are your favorite places to shop for groceries and health foods, and

other healthy products for your body. ETC.? What are those products?

 

Once a month I drive to Ann Arbor (home of U of M and the Big House) and

go shopping at Whole Foods and Trader Joes. Here in town I get most of my

stuff at Zucca's - they have a great organic/ethinc/generally what people

around here call " odd " food half of the store, the local co-op, and Walmart

My favorite places to shop for groceries include Ralph's, Stater Brothers, and

99cents only Stores which they're walking distances from my house/bus stops.

I'd like to shop at stores like Trader Joes or Wal Mart but those are not really

a walking distances. I don't have much time to eat at home cause of my

extremely busy schedule so I have to buy salad mix, and some veggies.

I'm from Southern New Jersey, about 20 mins outside of Philadelphia. I

often go to Trader Joes. There is also a health food store near me

(Natural Health) that I stop by and pick up essentials (like soy

milk). If I'm in the city, I go to The Reading Terminal Market. They

have a lot of fresh veggies and organic stuff. Plus, they sell free

herbs, along with unique and ethnic ingredients.

 

I'll tell you my favorite indulgence - " Purely Decadent " soy ice cream

in Peanut Butter Zig Zag.

I'm in the San Francisco Penninsula, and in this area we have a

marvelous small chain called Mollie Stones. I can always count on

finding good organic produce, unusual food items from around the world,

and in the summer, on Fridays, a barbeque, where I can get a grilled

portobello sandwich. I also get aweekly box of organic, locally grown

veggies from my local farmers co-op, and TJ's for the odd item

occassionally.

I am from Southern California, the Inland Empire.

I shop at Henry's farmers market in Temecula and Hemet, I shop at Trader Joe's

in Temecula, Albertsons in Murrieta has a fair selection of ethnic and

vegetarian, Toms Farms on the border of Lake Elsinore/Corona, Loma Linda Market

in Loma Linda also has good veg options.

 

I would love the next question of the week to be : Name vegetarian and vegan

restaurants and cafes in your vicinity, here they are hard to find (at least for

me)

Hi Lynn

I'm up in Edinburgh and I've found that even the wee Tesco Metro here

is stocking more dried beans and brown rice and other grains etc in

their whole foods range. They usually have tofu and veggie pate in the

organic chiller cabinet section. I'm vegan so none of their vegetarian

ready meals are any good for me but I've noticed that breads like naan

bread are now being labelled as suitable for vegans. I've found their 5

half price veggies each week this year have been quite a good buy.

Hi,

I'm gonna have to get a few more recipe books and make my own dishes.

I have a big family and im the only vegetarian so its easier for me to get the

quorn or ready meals. I havent found a good stockist of meals anywhere near

where i live.

Is there a good book i should get?

I am Carolyn from Liverpool and I shop online at Sainsbury's Tesco's or

Asda, depending on my needs - and whoever stocks the most quorn items :-).

For more special items I go to Holland & Barrett once a month or so, and to

an international market shop in the centre of town which stocks the most

weird and wonderful ingredients form all over the world, including fresh

veggies.

 

 

 

Lynn, Tesco do a pretty extensive (well as extensive as any major

supermarket of course, which is never huge) range of vegetarian ready meals

if that is what you are looking for? I don't go in for ready meals often

but I can recommend their roasted vegetable lasagna :-).
