Like the Sweet Mart in Easton this is a store that is all about the customer. They buy in only the best quality fruit and vegetables, for example, and sell it at reasonable and affordable prices. It's all organic and locally sourced where possible - stocked full of love and good energy. The Asian food section is immense with every type of spice and raw bean imaginable. It's a good place too to find adverts and posters for local and ethical happenings. A great store that comes highly recommended.

Finland may not be Eastern Europe but a lot of the smells and types of food are similar. Take the cooked meats for example or the different hams and sausages. In a glance you could see nice looking sausages for a couple of quid, or you could look closer and see memories of barbecues under the eternal Scandinavian sunshine - taste the oak smoked flavours and remember a far off home. The vast piles of beer and wine may also look like a stack of bargain booze to one customer, but to another they are thoughts and memories of times past and old friends. You see, shops like this strive very hard to stock specific products - in this case Polish. For those that don't know, they offer new tastes, smells and ideas. For those that know however, there's a wealth of old tastes, smells that remind you of houses, people and places forgotten, and memories. This is also a good place to find colourful cartons of multi-vegetable and high energy drinks, as well as notices for employment and accommodation with other foreign speakers.

You could say they have wall to (Great) wall of food, and I would say don't be a (Tiannamen) square, and get yourself down there, but I would never use such bad puns! I bought a big old selection of dried chillis for a pound, and they will last me probably for half a year (and I use a lot) so that's a bargain. I also got a jar of minced ginger, to use in my stirfries and I bought a bottle of squid sauce to go splash into my stir fries too, for that authentic touch. On top of what I got though, there is so much good and authentic produce here, from huge sacks of rice for around £16, to cans of Grass Jelly drink and juicy, plump HUOGE Tiger prawns. Cheap, authentic and nicely laid out.

The Turkish Food Centre is a large supermarket where you can find cheap imports form turkey, and…read moreother Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. It is a joy to live near by, open 365 days of the year, 8am to 10pm without fail. Organic vegetables, tomatoes bursting with colour and flavour. They have a large delicatessen where they have a large selection of olives, Halal meats and cheeses , and make their own Turkish bread on site too. It all has a lovely smell of when you walk in. They have absolutely everything that a Turksih Chef would need. My family shop here virtually everyday to get bread and other certain thing they might need for whatever is being cooked. For quantity, it is by no means competition for any large supermarket chains, but as for quality, it definitely is. It is a regular for me.

By British standards, huge supermarket with a great variety of frozen foods (instant, raw seafood,…read moremeats, buns, dumplings galore) and sauces. They cater to both wholesale and retail customers so you can also buy a giant case of spring rolls or cabbage if you like. There's also a small fresh seafood section, restaurant serving ware, small selection of rice cookers, as well as retail consumer Asian vegetables (morning glory, bitter gourd, daikon, herbs, etc). Private lot, so plenty of parking and free!

The selection of ingredients is fantastic - what's that? You want some dried mushrooms? How about a whole aisle of dried fungi in all it's various forms. Prawns? Of course, an entire freezer aisle and a half full of them from teeny tiny shrimp all the way up to giant king prawns that aren't far off the size of lobster. It can be somewhat overwhelming, I'll admit that, but the staff are incredibly friendly and will assist you in any way possible. Right down to unloading your trolley and packing your goods. No, no, no sir... you're not in Tesco any more. Wing Yip is your one stop shop for middle eastern cooking supplies, if you're feeling a bit bored in the kitchen then head down here buy something you wouldn't normally try and give it a whirl!

Alas, most British butchers or supermarkets only offer the usual watered-down hams, which have lost all of the interesting flavours. Here at Poziomka you can find literally dozens of different kinds of hams, sausages and other meaty treats. But not only that, this is a clean and well-sorted paradise for all things considered Eastern European: buttermilk, pickles, cabbage rolls and various kinds of sweets that you wouldn't find at your typical Tesco. I love coming here and just browsing through the shelves and finding things that I had grown up with, but had somehow forgotten about. (Polish and German share quite a bit of food heritage.)

Worth a pop in if you want to top up the old kitchen cupboards with some random tasty delights that your friends can't compete with!

The fruit and vegetables are fresh, as is the meat and the dairy. The sweets and chocolates are unique, different and exciting. The promotions and offers are not sent down by a head office but made by the workers themselves, hand written on chalk boards. This shop is no exception. I pick up fruit here daily and am always treated to some pleasant conversation and a smile. The enormous range of pickled goods does little to whet my appetite but is fascinating nonetheless, as are the gigantic (if thus a little rude?) sausages in the fridge. The beer is mostly Polish as are the spirits. Variety is, as we know, the spice of life. This shop then is very spicy indeed.

I need a Lithuanian store outside of my house really, but for the time being I am willing to compromise and venture into town to stock up on my Lithuanian treats - it's well worth the trip.
