So this past Sunday, our little family had the pleasure of taking a trip down to Berkeley to go to one of our favorite grocery stores. Well, honestly, its more than a grocery store. It is like foodie heaven and its name is Berkeley Bowl . Seriously, it has the most amazing selections you could ever dream of. I have never seen more choices or selections anywhere! The photo below its JUST MUSHROOMS!!!!
There are isles and isles of regular and organic produce, amazing fish selections from six different kinds of salmon to beautiful sushi grade sea urchin, escolar, and shark. Any fish you want, they got it! Same goes for their meat selection. They have beef galore, veal, buffalo, pork, sausage, lamb, duck, turkey, chicken, guinea hen, venison, elk, kangaroo, camel, quail, and pheasant. I have never seen so many choices and pretty much all with a choice of organic, natural, free range, air chilled, grass fed, choice and prime cuts!
Oh Lordy and their produce! I can't even explain the amounts of produce! Their produce section is like the size of a regular grocery store! This is a photo of Ryan picking out the perfect heirloom tomato out of a batch of like 1,000+. Any kind of fruit or vegetable you want, they have durian, star fruit, like 15 types of pears, and 20 types of apples. The selection is beyond incredible. Seriously, every time I go there it blows my mind!
This row is just the non organic citrus!
This shopping trip was not our most price conscious trip but we still made it out of there with some amazing stuff for the next week+ for $200.00. It sounds like a lot but we got scallops, veal, chicken, sausage, salmon, root veggies, roast beef, turkey, wine, chard, spinach, various asian sauces, and much much more. Our cart was packed to the brim! We thought we might have to leave Cyrus behind to fit it all in the car, but luckily he is still pretty small!
Did you say Kangaroo?
