| Hi Shannon, how are you settling into your new flat? |
| Really well, thanks. |
| You look like you're going shopping. |
| Yes, I am. |
| My cousins are coming to stay for a couple of days, and I have to cook for them. |
| Well, there are plenty of places to buy food in Kite Place, |
| it's the area by the harbour. |
| Oh, okay, I'll find that on the map. |
| Thanks. |
| What sort of food do you need to get? |
| Well, neither of them eats meat but they both like fish. |
| Well, there's a really good fish market there. |
| Oh great! |
| Where is it exactly? |
| It's at the far end of Kite Place, |
| so you have to go over the bridge and then it's on the right. |
| Okay, is it open all day? |
| It doesn't close until four, |
| but I'd recommend going earlier than that, |
| it does run out of some things. |
| Oh, I don't want that to happen. |
| As long as you get there by 3:30, you should be fine. |
| It's only 11 now, so plenty of time. |
| Right. |
| Do you need to buy vegetables too? |
| I do, and I want to avoid all the plastic packaging in the supermarket! |
| Well, there's a really nice organic shop there. |
| Now what's it called... |
| It's the name of a flower. |
| I know, it's 'Rose'. |
| Oh, that's a nice name. |
| Yeah, it sells vegetables and quite a lot of other stuff. |
| And where's that? |
| Well, as you reach the market, |
| you'll see a big grey building on your left, |
| I think it used to be a warehouse. |
| Anyway, now it's a restaurant upstairs, |
| but the ground floor has two shops either side of the entrance and it's the one on the left. |
| That's easy enough. |
| You can't miss it, |
| there's also a big sign on the pavement so you can look for that. |
| Fine! |
| I guess if I need anything else, I'll have to go to the supermarket. |
| Yeah, you should be able to get everything you need, |
| but there's a minibus that goes to the supermarket if you need it. |
| It's purple and the number is 289. |
| Thanks, that's great. |
| So what do you need to get at the fish market? |
| The salmon is always very good and the shellfish... |
| I'm going to make a curry, I think, |
| and I need about 12 prawns for that. |
| They'll have plenty of those. |
| Have you ever tried samphire? |
| No, what's that? |
| It's a type of seaweed. |
| I just ask for a handful and you fry it in butter. |
| It's delicious! |
| Oh, I might try that, |
| how do you spell it? |
| It's SAMPHIRE. |
| Great! It's always good to try something different. |
| I'll see what beans they have in the organic shop |
| and I think I'll get something for dessert there. |
| How about a mango? |
| I'm not sure, they're not always ripe. |
| I'd prefer a melon, it's bigger too. |
| Good idea. |
| The owner also sells a lot of spices there that you can put in a curry, |
| and things like coconut. |
| Oh, that's very helpful. |
| I'll have a look. |
| No problem. |
| I know bread doesn't really go with curry |
| but I always like to have some in case. |
| As I said, all the bread is home-made and there's lots of variety. |
| I like the brown bread myself. |
| Mm, sounds good. |
| They sell other things there too. |
| Like cakes? |
| I love chocolate cake. |
| Well, not that, |
| but they have a whole range of tarts |
| and the best are the strawberry ones. |
| Perfect! |
| Hopefully I won't even have to go to the supermarket! |
