It's like Piccadilly Circus down there...oh yeah, that's because it is

As a proud supplier of Whole Foods market we were lucky enough to have a sneak preview of their brand new store that opens in Piccadilly tomorrow. We were even allowed to lunch on some of the delicious food that will be on offer in the store. It was amazing and we were like children in a sweet shop. We wanted to sample everything but we were restrained in what we picked. Well, most of us were anyway. Jeremy and I got a regular sized plate of food each. Rolf got two plates… No surprise there then. He’ll take anything that’s going that one!

Based in the heart of Piccadilly, the new Whole Foods Market is in a prime location and is housed in a large building on its own pedestrianised area. It looks very grand and is bound to be popular with tourists and city workers alike, as well as London residents who may be taking a stroll in the area after shopping on nearby Regent Street and Carnaby Street. It’s ideal. If I worked near there I’d be in every day. And I tell you what, I wouldn’t only just buy What On Earth food either!

Talking of which, the What On Earth food that will be in store will include both retail products and ingredients. Obviously you won’t get to see the ingredients as such (y’know, because they’re in things!) but you will see our lovely retail items on the shelves. Keep your eyes peeled for our organic pizzas, organic cheesecakes and our organic ambient items. This is what they look like, just in case you’d forgotten.

As well as branded food products, the store also has fresh self-service food bars, smoothie and coffee bars, home wares and even a macaroon tower. It’s great! They have included lots of places to sit as well, so customers like you can enjoy your food inside the store rather than take it away. But you can take it away too, y’know if you want to. They don’t make you stay inside.

 

The store opens tomorrow – Tuesday 22 May. But, if you are unable to make it down there and can’t wait any longer to see what the place looks like then check out the following photos. They’re our way of giving you a sneak preview of our sneak preview. Clever huh?

So there we have it. That was your sneak preview of our sneak preview. The place is looking pretty good huh? If you like what you see you should certainly get down to Piccadilly Circus as soon as you can so you can see the new store in all its glory.

I’ll see you down there!

Peace, love and brand new Whole Foods Market Piccadilly Circus pizza.

National Curry Week - we love it

This week is National Curry Week – apparently.  We’re not sure who announces these so called “national food weeks” (and why for that matter) but we’d like to shake their hand and congratulate them on such a grand idea.  We think that dedicating a full week to a particular type of food is genius – especially if we like that specific food. It’s very rare that we dislike food too.  I’d say we eat pretty much everything and anything here at What On Earth HQ.  So, when we heard it was National Curry Week we wooped with delight.  Why?  Well, mainly because we like eating curry and now we have an excuse to eat it every day this week; but also because we have lots of What On Earth products that are perfect for use in a curry.  Let’s go through them shall we?

Firstly we have our Organic Coconut Milk. Yep, the very one that was seen on BBC One’s Simple Cooking. Have we said that before? We’re proud of it OK! This product comes straight from Thailand, where they produce the best tasting Coconut Milk around. That’s why we get it from there. The sun shines brighter and the coconuts grow beautifully.

Next up is our Organic Italian Chopped Tomatoes. If you need tomatoes in a curry then look no further. Not only are they organic but they come to us from under the Mediterranean sun. Amazingly red, amazingly ripe and amazingly tasty – they are bound to brighten up any tomato based curry. Yum.

Fancy making your curry a bit fruity? Why not, it sweetens them up and gives you a taste of the exotic. We have the answer for the best fruity curries too….our Organic Berry Pouches. Each one of our pouches contains 100 per cent organic fruit. The best ones for curries are the Organic Pineapple Pouch and the Organic Mango Pouch. Take them out the freezer, add them to your dish, eat, enjoy and cry at how delicious your curry was….or at how spicy you made it!
