Cross-Border Shopping Guide: Canada
If a trip to Canada is in your future, or the Canada/US border is within driving distance, take a look at this cross-border shopping guide featuring some of Canada's tastiest eats. Be warned: None of them are particularly healthy. But you can always rationalize the extra calories by thinking of your shopping as a cultural experience.Culinary Ambassadors: Grocery Shopping in the UK
It may come as a shock, but the UK public is obsessed with food. British food has a reputation as being a stodgy, greasy, bland accompaniment to beer — or nameless, boiled, blobby things served at school dinners (the possible exception being curries introduced by the large South Asian population). The past 10 or 15 years have greatly changed what's available to eat here, however, and the diversity of people's diets is very much reflected in, and abetted by, the supermarkets.Culinary Ambassadors: Grocery Shopping in Puerto Rico
In Puerto Rico I have to shop around. I love Costco for some of my produce—tomatoes, lettuce, berries, and mushrooms for stuffing.... I go to a regular supermarket for basics (like cereal, milk, and produce) that I do not need 10 pounds of at one time. I visit a health-food place to get my vegetarian goodies, like eggless mayonnaise, tofu, brown rice pastas, quinoa, etc. —MadelynRodriguezCulinary Ambassadors: Grocery Shopping in Wisconsin
Our shopping priorities go: local and organic (CSA, co-op, farmers' market), then local (farmers' market and Woodman's), then just organic (co-op and Woodman's). However, there are things (like bananas) that I do not buy from any of the above categories. When I lay it out like this, it sounds like a lot of work, but I actually enjoy the challenge of finding foods that align with our philosophy and taste great but don't drain our bank account.Grocery Shopping in the U.S.
I have never been a daily, fresh-to-the-market shopper. I dream that I would love to be, but using EBT for most of one's groceries tends to cause one to peruse the weekly ads and menu plan around them. I'll tell you, the day Sam's Club started accepting EBT last year was a day of great rejoicing in my house.Favorite Chats with a Grocery Store Cashier?
I often leave Trader Joe's thinking I've become best pals with the checkout person. They just say the darnedest things. Like last night, when I bought bananas. I could have sworn they were green when I first grabbed them; they were patently yellow-green by the time we reached the checkout. "Bananas are just, crazy. They're IN-sane. They're like the Mel Gibson of fruit," my cashier said.Video: The American 'Ethnic' Food Section at a German Grocery Store
This gourmet grocery store in Berlin knows what Americans crave—as far as processed foods go. Their American section features Swiss Miss hot cocoa mixes, Betty Crocker baking mixes, barbecue sauce, Fluff, Campbell's soup, nacho cheese sauce, and more.Grocery Self-Checkout Lanes: Way or No Way?
I believe that the issue of those automated self-checkout lanes has come up before on Serious Eats, but often as asides in larger discussions, but I figured this one might be ripe for the pseudo-science that is the Serious Eats Poll.Video: Grocery Shopping Techno Dance
Need a little pick-me-up this afternoon? This video is so ridic that I couldn't keep from LOLing. Watch it, after the jump....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
