He changed the way that we shop. All shops and department stores are still based on the Selfridges model.

Butchers? Waitrose? I don't do offal but I'm sure I have seen tongue in both places. Although Selfridges food hall is lovely. |

nope...we have a farm shop near us who send their own lambs to slaughter and we ask them year after year for lamnbs tongues but they never get them for us.
i think a local butcher might be sorting us out soon lol
you can get ox tongue in supermarkets but rarely lambs tongue which is a shame cos its yummy |
