A recent cart Brian and I had at Whole Foods. Contents: gnocchi, fish, marinade, my fave salad dressing (thanks to Emmy), two different cheeses (piave and brebris i believe), fig spread to go with the cheese, Brooklyn Local 2 (beer), and a MAGNUM* OF ANCHOR STEAM CHRISTMAS. The final item is one of my favorite beers every year, only produced seasonally, and I was sorely tempted to buy a case of this stuff. A magnum sufficed.
* For those who don’t know, wine comes in several sizes, and the larger bottles are referred to as “large format” wines. From smallest to largest, the traditional sizes are: half bottle, or split; standard; magnum; double magnum; Jeroboam; then a bunch of biblical names, ending with the Melchizedek which contains 30 litres of wine.
