Cor, blimey. I don't know anyone apart from Marcus. He knows every health food shops wherever he goes. Sure, he knew a cute health food shop in just out side St. Guilhem Le Desert.
It was called " La Moisson"
This shop had very good selections of everything. They even had raw sea weed too. Of course, we bought a pack and put them in salads, reminded me of home... it was tasty. Picked in France. Mixed nuts with raisins was a bit pricey, but tasted fresh, and raisins tasted nothing like here in England. very soft and there weren't even that sweet either. Quite often, raisins/sultanas mixed in cashews/ nuts here become crystallised and basically don't taste fresh. In France, the most of time, food we bought tasted soooooo yummy!
Here's our shopping from the shop!
This Goma-shio (sesame salt) was very very nice, I added every time on our salad. It's really, chubby sesame seeds slightly blitzed and mixed with sea salt. I'm going to make this. First I need to find chubby sesame seeds. Here in England, thin and flat sesame seeds are more accessible to get. I probably need to go on line to get this as I never seen it in my local town!
This buckwheat flakes were also yummy. Second time we went there to get some more, it was run out. We bought spelt flakes in stead. Taste wise, buckwheat one was nicer and had more flavour.
Next year, I'd love to grow black moori here. I'm not sure if it grows or not, but I can experiment....
The lady who worked there spoke good English. We didn't know till our last visit to the shop actually she understood English! And I felt a bit embarrassed. Every time, I was really excited going into the shop, how nice shop was and I wanted to buy all of them and wanted to eat the whole shop etc...!
Anyway, she was lovely, and again, I wished I could speak French, I wanted to chat with her! Well, I wanted to chat with lots of people, French people were kind they tried to speak English with us...
