Ha! Yes, its all sued for cheese and chocolate. Seriously, after the UK its just bizarre. No corner shop type place sells fresh milk, just dreadful UHT, fresh milk only in supermarkets and not much there either. An Aussie just showed up and was shocked at lack of fresh milk. As he said, back home it has a whole aisle at the supermarket. Here it has less than a square meter even in the huge places.

Here if you ask for Cafe you'll get something a bit longer than an espresso but with a little pot of that weird cream stuff on the side. I have to buy milk at weekends, and its warm so goes off quite quickly. I need it for that Sunday morning cappuccino made with my blessed Gaggia machine.
