Shopping

What shall we have this week

to eat?

She asked me on the phone.

I’m in Aldi

It’s Saturday

And I really don’t know?

Which section are you in?

Meat or veg or the tins?

Oooh they have some duck in orange sauce

I had some of that once,

when I was a kid

It was nice.

Do they have one in Hoisin

You can get the pancakes and the cucumber and spring onions in?

Nah, I’ll just get parsnips and sprouts

And a Scottish Steak and beef sausage pie

That’ll do

I always wondered what makes a Scottish pie?

I dunnoo

I think it’s the coo?

I smiled and said

‘Don’t forget the honey for the parsnips!’
