Supermarkets are probably the same the world over, but maybe
some of the goods on sale are different. ASDA is one of the
largest of the supermarket chains in the UK.

Above: The fruit and vegetable section. The root crops on the left
are called 'swedes' in the UK and 'turnips' in North America. The
signs suspended above are in both Welsh and English languages.

Above: Part of the cooked meats and pies display. In the centre
is a selection of delicious 'pork pies'.

Above: Wales is famous for its Welsh lamb, on display here.

Above: The drinks section features a display of alcoholic cider, made from
fermented apple juice. The bottles and cans in the centre are of a strong
cider known as "Scrumpy Jack", brewed in the English county of Herefordshire.
