Also visited a fabulous little Turkish grocer in Welling who had all sorts of interesting things. I am such a sucker in shops like that. I bought some interesting looking pasta, some Turkish crushed chilli, some anise tea, a gorgeous head of celery with luxuriant leaves (like the Victoria one I got from Waitrose a while back), a plantain, some persimmons, some comb honey, monkey nuts in the shell, some pistachios and some quinces. I have not seen fresh quinces in AGES and was very excited to see them. Bought two.
We also went to the Lidl in Welling and I picked up some fishy bargains - three different flavours of smoked trout, a tub of red "caviar" and two tubs of crayfish tails.
Had a nice smörgåsbord style lunch at L's - homemade hummus, Stilton, halloumi, a dip made with low fat cream cheese and spring onion, cherry tomatoes, celery, carrots, olives, pickles, tiny little crackers and pretzels and some of the smoked trout. Delicious, although I reckon it was probably getting on for 700 calories.
