What part of Europe are you talking about?

Transylvania? Carpo-Ruthenia? 19th Century Serbia?

Most of modern Europe has 'Supermarkets' and 'Hypermarkets', France
probably has some of the biggest in the world. Maybe what's left of
the traditional Balkan and Eastern European peasantry still have to
stop at the market every day or slaughter a pig or sheep and slave for
hours over a hot stove with pig's heads, beetroots, sheep brains etc.,
but most of the others nip off to the Hypermarket every week or so in
their automobiles and stock up just like you do!
