Eggs are available at Mores as well. For us north americans, seeing eggs unrefrigerated is an odd sight. Surely they cannot last... well they do. I pick them up and immediately refrigerate them though as habit and the need for a clean counter top. 

One of my next quests will be to find free range eggs as you can bet your last dollar the eggs in the More's store came from chickens that are leading pretty shitty lives. 

Frozen shrimp is one of my staples, again More's to the rescue. Well not quite, they are quite small and I question the freshness. Always cook them and don't even think abut making ceviche. 

I picked up some frozen lamb chunks. The picture looked really good. However they were raw and 99% bone. I still managed to make a pretty fine meal out of them last night.

Eggplant, chilies, onions, garlic and tomatoes make up the stew base, I set that aside and then brown the mutton. Add the stew base back in, add water, cook for 30 min or so and then add fresh coriander. I still make sure the coriander is cooked as I'm not up to eating uncooked veggies yet. 

Boneless skin less chicken breast is again readily available. As usual I buy too much. A 3 ounce serving is about 1/2 a breast so buying 8 was silly in retrospect. It will get eaten this week but I did freeze 4 of the 8 so the will need to be unthawed in the fridge over night. 

I tend not to eat beef while I'm here, but the driver tells me that there are reputable places to get it. He also cautioned against the Russell Market. 

But what about lovely cheese you ask. Cheese will be a topic of another hunt (likely in 3 or 4 weeks). Paneer is readily available but if you want so variety or cheese to go with a glass of wine, its not paneer.
