Scored 105 points.

That being said we have a "designer" croissant/baguette bakery called "Petit Appetit" and a restaurant which doubles as a fish market selling fresh seafood flown in from Portugal twice a week.  :hmm:

Hard to say. My immediate block has become pretty low rent (store named $1 pizza, $2 beer / made closed store fronts for several months now) but on the flip side within a few block radius, we've most of those that are still relevant.

But a lot of those stores are "normal" in Barcelona.

Argentine "parmesan" ?  :lol: That's upscale for those who call any sparkling wine champagne I guess.

Well one it was the 80s but secondly, I don't really get the issue here. I could see it as same indignation if it was labeled Argentine Parmigiano-Reggiano but...

Over here a Delice de France means you're in a train station. It serevs crap bakery stuff that you eat on the way home when you're pissed and starving and there's no MaccieDs around.

Must be different over there
