Are we dreaming or are these prices for lobster real? They are painfully for real!

Like many of us, I am a Market Basket shopper, and McKinnon’s shopper.

I try to stay away from spending $200 a basket for groceries when I shop.

I am also attracted to Whole Foods for a variety of reasons. I shop there for treats I cannot get at other markets.

When I find them, paying for them at the check out counter can be painful.

Inflation and conspicuous consumption are ever present at Whole Foods.

Nowhere does the face of runaway inflation present itself outrageously than it does at Whole Foods for some of the popular items sold there.

For instance, when I was last at Whole Foods I went to the fish counter.

My new favorite awesome treat

Raw fish isn’t for everyone – so if you can’t stomach the notion of raw fish as a delicacy, well, please don’t read this piece.

Since sushi went main stream about 25 years ago, I have enjoyed it.

You can eat a ton of it and never put on weight, get sick, or feel stuffed.

Many claim sushi is healthy for you as raw fish is rich in nutrients and everything good for the human body.

For those of you who haven’t tried such a treat, you can find this at Market Basket for about $13 bucks.

It is served fresh every day.

By Josh Resnek

As many of our readers have come to understand, my eating habits can be considered peculiar. But they are not.

What I am devoted to in my eating existence these days is to eat only what I want, when I want it, in smaller servings made fresh every time.

There is one other caveat to my eating habits.

I only want to eat dishes that taste delicious.

I don’t need a large serving of anything.

I prefer smaller servings of something delicious.

OK, now that that is out of the way, let me describe what I ate for lunch Tuesday afternoon.

I went to Whole Foods and got 6 slices of Parma prosciutto sliced thinly.

I suppose there is better – and most likely to be bought either in Italy or a fine butchery in France.

Then I bought a container of fresh mozzarella and a small container with perfectly tasting ripe cherry tomatoes.

In the bread aisle I searched for just the right bread as I was jonesing for a small sandwich.
