Supermarket nirvana: Gisborne Woolworths

Street-Porter lauds fusion master Peter Gordon, bemoans some antipodean executions of the theory, but finds solace in Woolworths: “I purchased sun-dried tomatoes, olive and rosemary focaccia bread, and locally made Camembert. Have you picked yourselves up off the floor? I’m not even going to bore you with the 25 varieties of Chardonnay, the organic eggs or the 10 kinds of honey. Plus the fact that the check-out lady actually packed my bags”.
