Mocha Parade Fruit and Vegetables

Ah, locally sourced produce. I said I’d give this shop a fair try and I must say, it is a gem amongst the grey desolation of Mocha Parade, an area which is just ASKING to be the set of an apocalyptic zombie movie…
Oh great, now I’ve scared myself into never going there again.
Anyway, while I can, or while I’m accompanied by some kind of strong ass-​kicking compadre (because seriouisly, if I saw a zombie, I’d freeze and it’d probably have enough time to go ahead and eat me. Heck, it’d even have time to prepare itself a little beverage while it was waiting), this is a great place to visit. And it frequently performs too, despite its seasonal produce I’ve so far found what I need since starting to visit there the other week, and my friend, a veteran of the store, says in all the times she’s gone there only twice has she been disappointed — once when they were out of celery, and another when she bought some carrots but they went off in four days.
Otherwise the food keeps remarkably well, especially the potatoes. I’d advise all students to learn how to make soup and get the vegetables from here. Seriously, that’s what I did when I gave up my cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner I’m-saving-money-but-I-look-worse-than-Jodie-Kidd-in-her-heyday routine. And it cost around the same, if not less. Student budgets are low, hey, most of our budgets are low when we’re starting out in the city. So it’s good to know we can get inexpensive high quality fruit and veg to actually nutrify ourselves, much as that sounds like a threatening word.
Mocha Parade may not be the pleasantest of places, but it’s worth the trek to bring back heavy bags of goodies from here.
