Shmancy Fruit & Veg

Whilst in F&M I checked out the fresh fruit and veg section. Its a bit too shmancy for everyday, case in point, the orange dragonfruit. Even if the veg isn't that special, it is awfully shiny.

And check out that massive zucchini - wawaweewa!

British Chips

From the "crisps around the world" file comes these gourmet chips with such run of the mill flavours, including sea salt and somerset cider vinegar, balsamic and of course vegetable chips including parsnip. How very British!

F&M Wedding cakes

Here is a sample of the wedding cakes on offer at Fortnum & Mason. I think the bluebird biscuits are just adorable.

Chocolate fish and Macarons

Well, F&M were hot on the macaron craze before it hit Melbourne it seems. We also have artisan chocolate fish and a gorgeous little chocolate shop.

Fortnum and Mason: Part 2 Bikkies

Here is just a sample of the types of biscuits you could find at F&M. We have the soldiers, ladies and gentleman (very upper crust), nursery rhyme biscuits and the various artisan bears. Also check out the adorable doll's house of jam. Doesn't everyone store their's that way?

Fortnum and Mason: Part 1

Welcome to Fortnum and Mason. I must have taken the majority of my photos from the whole trip at this fine establishment. Upmarket supermarket/bakery/cakeshop still doesn't quite describe it. It is posh to the extreme!

F&M stocks all manor of British essentials: marmalades and jams, tea sets, candied fruit and statues. (Although the last are not for sale. And yes, it does look like I'm putting my hand up his jacket. Nothing untoward is happening though :)).

Marmite and Huggy Bears (but not together)

Some of the regular grocery items that I thought deserved photos. And marmite really is horrid!
