The Asda Store

Asda is one of the larger grocery stores here. It is a part of the Walmart company. Every month there is a free Asda Magazine given away at the check-out counter (by the "till lady"). It is always interesting to read because of the different words used.



This month's magazine said that "Asda is Mum's first choice for baby essentials." It advertises a high chair that is called the "Graco Teatime High Chair". Also advertised is a product called "Cow and Gate Good Night Milk", which the add says is a "follow-on milk that has been specially developed to help settle your baby for bedtime.......it is thicker than regular follow-on milk...". I am guessing that "follow-on" milk is baby formula.

There is a selection of mugs "to liven up tea-time".

A recipe calls for "classic tinned pears" (canned pears).

There is an article on making the "classic English breakfast"---sausage, poached egg, grilled tomato, grilled mushrooms, grilled lean-back bacon (I don't know what "lean-back" means), and baked beans. (The baked beans are not what we think of as baked beans---they have a very heavy tomato taste....not good!....)


A clothing add says, "Kit yourself out in style for the gym...."

An article on food storage says, "Thanks to modern fitted kitchens, we have the ideal place to store canned and packaged foods---cool, dark, dry cupboards....." (This made me think of what magazines must have said in the 20's or 30's)

I think I will miss getting to read this magazine when I get home!
