ENTHUSIASM for the London 2012 Summer Olympics is building and Shanghai is no exception.
Since the Summer Games are just around the corner, one might want to stock up on some "made-in-Britain" foods from supermarkets.
Tea is obvious; there's a wide variety of British teas available. Britain's afternoon tea culture is familiar to many people.
But there's much more than tea. Especially at Marks & Spencer on Nanjing Road W., almost all food products originate in Britain: toffees, preserves, biscuits, oats, coffee, canned fish and crisps.
Let's do some shopping.
Here are some made-in-Britain selections.
City Shop
Twinings English Breakfast Tea
Origin: Britain
Price: 124 yuan (US$19.5)/200g
Description: This robust and satisfying tea is traditionally blended with Kenyan and Assam black teas. It was originally blended to complement the traditional, hearty English breakfast, hence, the name. The refreshing and invigorating flavor makes it a popular black tea to drink at almost any time. It can be enjoyed with or without milk, with lemon or without, sweetened or unsweetened.
Marks & Spencer
Milk chocolate lollies
Origin: Britain
Price: 25 yuan (US$3.9)/44g
Description: These show off your patriotic spirit - the foil wrappings are decorated with little Union Jacks and they can be spotted easily. Milk chocolate lollipops are scrumptious treat, especially for children. Everybody loves them.
Hand-cooked crisps with sea salt & balsamic vinegar
Origin: Britain
Price: 29 yuan/150g
Description: Crisps are a very popular, simple product made with tasty British potatoes, specially selected every season. Compared with standard crisps, hand-cooked crisps are washed but not peeled and cooked in small batches by a trained cook. The slices are thicker and more flavorful. The sea salt and vinegar make them zesty.
Still water lemon & lime
Origin: Britain
Price: 16 yuan/1L
Description: This refreshing drink is natural mineral water blended with natural lemon and lime flavorings with sweetener. It's best served chilled and can be served with ice and lemon or lime. It's great for a hot day and a great thirst-quencher after a work out.
Chocolate Viennese sandwich
Price: 49 yuan/250g
Description: These buttery chocolate biscuits have a rich, milk chocolate filling and literally melt in your mouth. It's one of the more delicately crafted varieties of biscuits. Attractive to look at and made of high-quality ingredients, it makes a delicious snack, in moderation, with milk, tea or coffee.
