Yes indeed, courtesy of our latest stockist : Jim’s British Market in St Genis-Pouilly, residents in the Ain region of France and over the border in west Switzerland can now purchase The Spice of Life’s proper, authentic curry mixes.
This part of the world isn’t renowned for serving curry with a kick. In fact, last time I visited an Indian restaurant in Ferney-Voltaire, France, and ordered a Vindaloo, it barely tipped the scales at “a bit spicy”! It was a far cry from what we Brits are used to.
Along with HP sauce, PG tips, Marmite and Heinz Baked Beans, curry ingredients – if they’re available at all in this region – occupy the “UK Foods” section in the supermarket, so it made sense to find a British shop as our regional stockist.
We’re delighted, therefore, to be supplying Jim’s British Market, based at:
147 Rue du Mont Rond, Espace de l’Allondon, 01630 St Genis-Pouilly, France
Jim's British Market
Tel: +33(0)450 420 418
Opening hours are:
Wed, Thurs, Fri – 10am – 7pm
Saturday – 10am – 5pm
Sunday – 11am – 1pm
Mon, Tues – closed
Jim’s – run by Jim & Margaret – has been supplying the ex-pat community for 15 years.
As well as the shop, there’s a great tea room which serves a full english, fish & chips and even cream teas. And you can watch Sky TV at the same time!
We look forward to an ongoing spicy relationship with Jim’s and hope to bring you news of more overseas stockists soon. In fact, if you’re an ex-pat or if you holiday somewhere and know of a similar shop we should be supplying, let us know:
