005: Taste Shop

This one was inspired by the super strict custom rules on what you can bring into Australia:)

If you, like me, love browsing supermarkets when you’re travelling in a foreign land, you’re likely to have experienced this problem. You see food you’d love to try but not necessarily want to buy them in packs, like you see a hugh packet of chocolate and all you want is a small piece just to taste? or a can of pasta sauce in a farmers’ market that needs refrigerating? or a bottle of cider that might easily break in your luggage? or you simply can’t bring them back or have run out of luggage space?

This is a solution to give travellers/tourists a taste of the locale. This is a ‘taste shop’ that serves local produce in small quantity, ideally some unfamiliar to tourists but popular amongst locals. Say, if the shop is in London, everything served will be made in UK. You’ll find on the menu things like hot chocolate made by a local chocolatier, pasta with homemade sauce, bakery & cakes locally made, sandwiches with Yorkshire cheese etc…
