Home Is Where the High-Fructose Corn Syrup-Free Peanut Butter Is

Salt
You might imagine the list of items I might request an American visitor to bring to London for me. At the top of this list sits peanut butter, crunchy or smooth; salted or unsalted. I've wanted it all. London grocers do carry it, but its like the "Jiffy" equivalent, meaning, filled with crap including high-fructose corn syrup. A few days ago, I remembered a little gem we refer to in the States as Whole Paycheck. Yes, there is a Whole Foods here in London. Obviously its in the hoity-toity area of town, but luckily, I don't live far from it.
more salt!

Being inside Whole Foods felt like I was magically transported back to the States; everything in the grocery store was where it should be. Eggs were refrigerated, spices were in the baking aisle, and yogurt was in the dairy section alongside the milk and sour cream. This Whole Foods was like the King of all Whole Foods. Thank God for my iPhone because you know I took some pictures up in there. People!! A half aisle was dedicated to chocolate, sections just for salt! carton-less eggs! Not to mention that it was two-stories so cheese and wine were on the top floor, and everything else was on the bottom floor. I was amazed.

And guess what? Peanut butter. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. AND! A selection to choose from.You know the American in me always loves a selection! I went for the Whole Foods brand because I am not spending $10 on peanut butter!

The other wonderful thing about Whole Foods is turkey, chicken, beef or lamb sausage. You won't find that in other grocery stores (at least not to my knowledge). So all in all, I had a positive experience at Whole Foods and my wallet did too.

Chocolate aisle and chocolate counter!
