I’ve just come home from my second visit to Whole Foods in Cheltenham. I’d booked for two of us to have a bit of make up fun around lunchtime, so of course, we did a bit of shopping whilst we were there. In particular, I was keen to get some more of the yummy peanut butter and have a better look around, now the crowds have died down.
As I walked past the bakery, I discovered the answer to a previous question.
Regardless of the price of apple pie, the level of service in the store surpasses all expectations. An enquiry about farro (following Nigella’s use of the grain in a kind of risotto recently) sent a staff member in search of the answer. He not only took me to the shelf with spelt on it, he placed a red sticker on the box and offered it to me “on the house” - “give it a try and let us know how you get on”.
We also approve of any supermarket that has prosecco on tap in the cafe ;-)
Gloucestershire, food, fun

Most impressive! I wonder if they do something similar at Whole Foods in Los Angeles?
We're getting a Whole Foods here in Columbia, Maryland in the future. I wonder if it's the same company - it's good to know about their service.
OOh - do they do Spelt take-outs? Might have to call in for the wheat intolerant DH who can manage Spelt...?
