I'm watching top of the shop on BBC 2.
I can't believe the prices that they are charging for the goods.
£3-80 for a loaf of bread.
£1-00 for a pretzel.
£3-75 for a chocolate brownie.
GULP....
Well you couldn't give me a pretzel but yes the prices seem steep but so called artisan bread can cost that and more. The brownie is just for people with more money than sense.
I went to Chatsworth farm shop last week. They were asking 65p for a Longley Farm yoghurt. You can buy exactly the same product in Morrisons for 30p. I did buy some oatcakes, though.
artisan - a high-quality or distinctive product in small quantities, usually by hand or using traditional methods
rustic - simple, artless, or unsophisticated
But it is cool to demonstrate wealth by paying £3.80 for bread it lets the poor know in no uncertain terms that the BBC has no interest in them. It is called equality.
Having had the luxury of trying a loaf of artisan bread (that cost nearly £5) from Borough Market, I can honestly say that it was absolutely delish. Not something I'd buy every week, but for a treat, it was well worth it.
