Lina Store, Brewer Street, London
Like all the other delicatessens I visted in London town yesterday, the Lina Store is stocked full of Pannetonne. I know they are Italian an’ all but just how many Pannettone do us Brits actually buy for Christmas?
It’s a funny little shop, the 1950’s tiled exterior gives a unique impression and adds much to the unique feel on Brewer Street, but inside the two large counters take up more space than is available for customers. It was busy when I popped in - packed with four people, not helped with my large bags of shopping. One lady scopped up the last of the days fresh pasta, a gent brought a big slab of Parmesan. I didn’t see much of pasta in big bins which was what I was expecting but plenty of high quality boxed brands. Apparently Jane Grigson use to purchase spaghetti from here.
Bread, cured meats, olives, grow your own Italian seed collections (tomato, herbs), big bags of herbs at prices cheaper than the supermarkets… what more do you expect from an Italian corner deli?
