UK supermarkets (Morrison, Sainsburys, Waitrose, Asda, Tesco) are the worse places to find proper good food.
The European supermarket chains (Lidl, Aldi) which also have UK stores, are much better for food varieties.
However, for the BEST meat, fish, veg, cheese, and bread... you need to hunt out farmers markets, or if you are in central London, head down to Borough Market[1] on Saturday mornings.

- monsieurbanana 8y agoWhat? I love Tesco! I'm french, living in the UK for half a year now. Tesco has such a high variety of fresh salads, fleshly cut fruits/vegetables... The convenience of going to Tesco and buying precut ingredients WITHOUT an horrible premade sauce smeared all over them is something I'll miss going back to France. This is from the point of view of a single young professional that hates spending too much time cooking but at the same time wants to do it for health reasons.
- Mashimo 8y agoYeah, it was Tesco. Went to a marked the next day. Just found it funny that a country that is 30 minutes away does not have "real" bread in the large supermarked :D
- scatters 8y agoWheat grows well in the UK, so there's no tradition of making bread from rye. There is choice, but between white, wholemeal and whole grain wheat bread. You should usually find rye bread in the allergies/restricted diet section, as a gluten free option, but it won't be fresh. Maybe fresh rye bread if you're in a German/Eastern European dominated area.
