Whereas in England we would have an aisle of grains and jams and cereals, Americans will dedicate an area the size of a tennis court just to varieties of bread: loafs of every shape and shade, bagels and buns, waffle mix.

Apparently she didn't make her way to the condiment aisle, where jams can be found in abundance, or the breakfast aisle, where exists every variety of cereal known to man.

My grocery store, unlike the one the Brit frequented, has only a bread aisle, not a bread tennis court.

When I was in Englad the supermarkets were very similar to the ones here in the states. In fact - the one I frequented most had a much nicer selection of bread than the one I shop at here at home. Nice crusty breads.

The one thing I had to get used to was the fact that they really didn't have 1/2 and 1/2 for my coffee. I used a light cream - now THAT was more of a treat.

Overall - the grocery was just like here. And this was in a very small town.
