Palmeira Square, Hove / St James St, Kemptown
I know it’s silly to even post about Bona Foodie, so beloved by Brightonians and Hov..ians? Hovites? But since it’s very near to where I work, I get to treat myself by having a bit of takeaway action from there every so often. It’s just a great little deli. They have loads of sandwiches to order, as well as quiches, soups and salad boxes and all the other obligatory fancy-pants deli type items. We went there before to get some cheese for our post-Xmas Luncheon cheeseboard and it was all so scrummy. We got some sort of red chilli-cheese, some parmesan (the real deal) and a lovely soft gorgonzola.
Today I went over because I knew that I needed to stock up on some Green & Black’s chocolate to take home with me. For those of you who aren’t American, or who haven’t sampled American chocolate, let me fill you in: it’s crap. (Except for these.) I was never a true chocolate lover until I moved abroad. Then I went on an Aero-a-day diet for about 2 months. So whenever I go home, I always bring loads of chocolate with me (it’s demanded of me, quite frankly). ANYways, I picked up a lovely baguette with smoked ham, melted brie and onion chutney. And some of these crisps. And one of these drinks. And did I mention the Argentinian coconut tart I got as well (to share)?
So I just wanted to give Bona Foodie a bit o’ warm lovin’ on this brisk (cold as f*ck) St Patrick’s Day. Slainte!
