Blue Rock butchers on the in road, we have ordered ordered our turkey and ham from them.
Or further away the new Apallonia store in Gale ( well signposted ).
This is an upmarket " international " food supplier.

If you don't mind starting from frozen, you can also buy English sausage and bacon from Intermarche.

Sorry mrsnippy - I just assumed when I saw bacon that it was pato asking the question. We had this discussion about canned bacon that he remembered during the war.

What is to stop those of you travelling out for Christmas taking your own bacon and sausages out with you??
I know you arent supposed to, but it's by far the simplest solution!

Beware of English produce at the Intermarche. The sausages cost over£1.00 each and they're frozen!!!!!
