For £3.85 you get a cup of soup and ham or cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard, etc. The soup was cream of mushroom, heavy on the cream, but with enough bits of mushroom to know that it's there. For the sandwich, I chose ham with mustard and pickle, which got some interesting looks from the man behind the counter (for the Americans reading this, these aren't kosher dill slices of pickle - it's more like a chutney). It wasn't much, but after a full Scottish breakfast, including haggis that morning, we just needed a wee bit to stop the growl. All the ingredients were fresh. They've got lots of meats and jarred food stuffs for sale, but we weren't in any position to take such items with us, nor to have it shipped.

If I had missed the butcher I'd make a vegetarian meal,and I'm a real carninivore,I just would not consider supermarket meat. Great shop,great value,great service,buckie you are lucky to have it!

I recently asked for John's advice for selecting and cooking a piece of pork (I'm not really a very good cook) and between him and Allen (another member of the Troup Team) it was prepared and cooked surprisingly well ! It's an old-school village butchers shop with many of the customers shopping there for many, may years. Troup's also sells a selection of vegetables (displayed outside the shop), home-made pies and pates. Easy parking too with the old station car parking area opposite the shop. A really lovely, friendly place in a very nice Royal Deeside village. Five stars !

Later, while on my ferry journey to Stornoway, I decided to look up the Tesco company and learned it was founded in 1919 and had operations outside of Scotland in a handful of countries including Hungary and Ireland. The inside of the store was straightforward to navigate and I got a few produce items, canned goods, and a small container of eggs. The prices were good and check out was simple with friendly workers. Products I bought were in good condition and served as snack and meal items both on the ferry ride to Stornoway and while in the Outer Isles until I replenished my supplies. Produce items and eggs were fresh and flavorful and the canned items and eggs easy to cook with.

The majority of the produce is organic and healthy. Nothing, however, has a price on it. If you ask they give you a leaflet and you have to match the product with the price. It takes forever, the staff weren't in the slightest bit helpful and I gave up. It was really busy though so I guess if your clever or in the know it is a a great place to shop.
