No. The train is actually just as fast to this supermarket, and it's
just a few minutes from the station. (Wilmslow.)

You can get it in any supermarket- you get it in Aldi and Lidl FFS. Do
you actually look in UK supermarkets when you're here? I'm seriously
beginning to doubt it. Specialist shops? That's a laugh.

There are two basic cathegories of these cold prepared meats (is there
a generic name for that in English? I mean including ham, mortadella,
chorizo, etc.) what you feed the kids with between breakfast and lunch
and between lunch and dinner (mostly "york" ham, mortadella, chorizo,
etc.) and what adult people have right before or right after lunch/
dinner (jamon, good chorizo, etc.).
