    The expensive supermarket might have a butcher department, but most regular supermarkets only have prepacked and pre-sliced bacon. Maybe millionairs have it freshly sliced, I don’t know. I have heard that some countries you can have your minced meat made freshly too! There is no chance you can have that here. Never seen it anywhere (or maybe I show the wrong paces - think Lidl, ALDI etc)

      It’s actually wild the difference in quality of product between different grocery stores (even the same chain) depending on how rich the area they’re in is.

      Okay in Italy most medium and at times small supermarkets have a place where you can get your prosciutto crudo, salame etc…

      Elsewhere in Europe there is frequently a butcher department if the supermarket is big.

      In Greece nearly all supermarkets have a butcher department, except maybe Lidl, where are you going to get your whole lamb for Easter BBQ? :)))
