I popped in here a while ago whilst looking through the market and realised it was one of the many shops in Leeds that I’d never visited. It’s quite a quaint little place, stuffed to the bring with all kinds of supermarket bits and bobs, and houses a number of polish items that I couldn’t begin to attempt to describe. Quirky biscuits, random chocolates, a number of baking oddments and other varieties of foreign goods that I’d not seen before, and was curious to investigate!
It’s certainly worth having a bit of a glance, just to satisfy curiosity, but I couldn’t say that I’d choose to purchase my weekly shop here. Mostly for the inconvenience — I don’t live nearby, but also beyond the basics there’s not a huge amount in here that I require. The shop assistant was a touch on the cold side when I purchased my random chocolate bar, which incidentally was lovely, but y’know. Perhaps it was a bad day.
All in all, another place of interest in Leeds, being as variety is the spice of life!

I am always one for trying new food and one of the things I love about Leeds is the variety of cultures and the new cuisine it brings.
Wandering outside of the market I approach this polish supermarket and have a quick peep inside to see what they have to offer. I am not entirely sure what everything is as it is all so unfamiliar to me.
As I pick up some kind of vegetable and examine it inquisitively the lady at the counter obviously clocks that I have no idea what is going on here. Very politely she comes over to me and explains what it is and then even tells me how to cook it. Unfazed by my lack of knowledge she chats to me as I wonder round the store and I go away feeling slightly indebted to her for all my new cooking ideas.
