You'll find them in any yuppie infested bourgoise suburb or their away day seaside equivalent (Aldeburgh, Rock, Salcombe etc..). Painted in subdued pastel shades selling overpriced tit bits made with goats-cheese and 'onion marmalade', eighteen different types of olives, local farm cheese and ethnic delicacies (well samosas) - in fact all the same stuff you can get from you local supermarket without having to rummage around the bottom of a wicker basket and re-mortgage your house for the privelege. Pah !
Please note do not confuse said emporium with real delicatessens or ethnic food stores run by 1st or 2nd generation immigrants from Italy, Pakistan, Turkey, Poland or India for example. These stores generally cater for 'their own' and are competitively priced and offer a new and different selection of food-stuffs for those genuinely interested in expanding their horizons.
