«Moss? I have lots in the garden… I can also offer you some nettles, bind weed and a thistle or two…» Wifey looks at me with the scorn I probably deserved. As thought to a child, she explains that Carrageen moss found on the Irish coastline, it is dried and sold as a medicinal thing to make soups and broths and can be made into a cough remedy. also… despite the name, it is a seaweed. She sees the blank look on my face and says«forget it, I’ll get it». We go into the Health Shoppe where the very knowledgeable lady behind the counter provides the moss and suitable advice, the place is full with all sorts of healthy things as you would expect, wifey liked it a lot. I couldn’t see any mars-bars so lost interest.

This is a little health shop in the Merrion Shopping Centre(just pointing that out because it’s easily missed; you can think all the centre has is a big Tesco and a newsagents, but if you venture further around the corner of the newsagents, Voila! Hello The Health Shoppe!) It’s pretty much your run-of-the-mill health shop with all the usual trimmings you’d expect –very healthy produce, with more«exotic» items than that which you’d find at Tesco, but the similar health food shop prices that comes with the territory. The lady who owns the place is exceptionally friendly and helpful, so I’d definitely recommend popping in if you have any queries about health food/supplements etc. It’s generally pretty quiet in there so you wont be left waiting in any queues either!
