Exploring gastronomic highways and byways is certainly the most deliciously delightful way to spend time in a new city. While restaurants may offer you warm delights in a seated location, there other more creative ways to really sample locally sourced specialities but also imported goods that both expand and enrich your pallet.
Visiting the speciality food shops and deli’s of a new town is a great way to explore these new horizons. In Shrewsbury, there are loads of delightful deli options, many near hotels Shrewsbury town centre so that you can step out of your room and into the streets of the town.
The word ‘delicatessen’ is directly borrowed from German where it means ‘fine foods’. Fine foods you will certainly find in all delis. There are many kinds of delis, from speciality Italian foods to more general local produce to Japanese or Spanish. In Shrewsbury, there are several deli options in or near the town centre that will offer you the finest selection of speciality spreads such as fog and honey or vanilla and cherry chutney, to savoury delights such as cured meats and refined cheeses to savour. There are other tasty delights in the form of special salads, pickled vegetables, crunchy crackers and soft, tender bread on which to mount your delightful goodies on top of. Mad Jack’s is one of the most highly recommended delis where not only can you find the specialist ingredients from around the world that will dress up any hamper or kitchen, but where you can also order special foods that they may not have. Shrewsbury is also gifted with several farm delis on the various estates just outside the city such as the Churncoat Farm and Butchery, Battlefield 1403, and the Farm Deli at Dobbies.
The best thing about deli food is you take all back to your Shrewsbury hotel room where you can spread out your own picnic blanket and partake in the delights you found in the deli. Pop open a bottle of fine wine or local lager and enjoy your gastronomic break.
