Gourmet Food Shopping

My Suite cowriter, Mary Luz, recently got back from a trip to London. Rather than bemoan the fact that I haven't been to the UK in years, I grit my teeth and congratulate her on a great trip to a terrific city. Mary Luz had a few upscale experiences while away from her native Canadian soil, one of which was gourmet shopping at Harrods Food Halls. Harrods, famously owned by Mohamed Al Fayed and one of the most popular department stores in England, makes Neiman Marcus look like Walmart.

Such is Harrod's acclaim that even its food choices are incredibly high-end, and special. But if you're very lucky, while browsing the aisles of the Food Halls, you may even get a glimpse of Cher buying a salami. C'mon, what are vacations for, if not seeing an artificially preserved actress buying an artificially preserved meat product? And here I thought Harrods was all about the scarves.

You can read more about Mary Luz's trip to Harrods (click here). She knows about all the latest food trends, and is fun to read. Oh, and she also had a nice time in Paris, as if London wasn't bad enough!
