I can't tell if you're joking or not, because the quality of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry at Australian supermarkets is incredibly mediocre (and even that's being generous).
I'd rank Australia near-bottom of the dozen or so countries I've lived in/visited when it comes to supermarket quality[0]. Homogenized, bland food pumped full of water, optimized for profitability, shelf-life and appearance rather than nutrition or flavour.
[0] to be fair, the USA is even worse.
- thundergolfer 4y agoTo add some context to your comment, which country has the best, and what’s the name of the best chain in that country?
- nmfisher 4y agoFor me, Spain or Italy probably competing for top spot, with one of Carrefour/Mercadona/Esselunga being best for standard (non high-end) weekly fresh shopping. I even rate Vanguard and Carrefour in China, and Fairprice/Cold Storage in Singapore, above Australia.
