Hello honey, yeah, I am here in the supermarket. I have bought some things, yeah, I'm about to finish. I have everything for the week, but I have to go to the frozen food section. No, uh-huh. Well, I have some bread, onions, lettuce, milk, yeah, everything. What? No, I'm sure. You sent me a list, but I have already... yeah, okay, I will check the list. Yeah, yeah, don't worry, I won't take too long. I will check the list. I am, yeah, on my phone. Uh-huh, okay honey, I love you too. Oh, okay, I suppose I will have to check the list. She sent me special lettuce, international garlic. I guess I will have to look for some help. I don't understand what she's talking about.

Good morning sir, my name is Jeffrey. I'm here to help you if you have any questions.

Hello Jeffrey, yeah, I'm checking my phone because I have a list here. I have apple, tomatoes, papaya, bananas, but here I have this potato. What is it?

Potato? Well, it is a starchy vegetable with a brown skin and white or yellow flesh. It can be boiled, baked, or fried and used in many dishes. We have different types of potatoes.

Oh, thanks for the explanation. You know, I am not from this country. I have already bought milk, cheese, and yogurt, but I have butter here. What is butter?

Butter is a solid dairy product made from cream. It is used for cooking, baking, and spreading on bread.

Oh right, sorry. And cream, is it ice cream? I don't think so.

Cream is a thick, rich part of milk used in cooking and baking to add flavor and texture. It can also be whipped into a topping. We have a wide variety here.

I see. I also have bread rolls and croissant. What is a bagel?

A bagel is a dense ring-shaped bread that is boiled before baking. It is often sliced and toasted, then spread with cream cheese. It is delicious, you can try it.

Yeah, I will also need that. I have chicken breast here. I need ground beef.

Ground beef is minced beef that is commonly used in hamburgers, meatloaf, and tacos. It can be cooked quickly and used in various recipes. It is also very delicious.

Alright, pork chops. Do you have that in here and what is it?

Pork chops are cuts of pork taken from the loin. They can be grilled, baked, or fried and are often served as a main dish. I can also recommend you to take our salmon. It is a pink-fleshed fish that is rich in Omega-3. It can be grilled, baked, or eaten raw in sushi.

Yeah, I have eaten that. Shrimp, I have never seen that word. What is it?

Shrimp are small shellfish with tender flesh that are often cooked and used in salads, pastas, or stir-fries.

I see. What else do I have on my list? Let's see. I have rice, pasta, I have already taken those. Oil and olive oil, what is that?

Olive oil is a liquid fat obtained from olives. It is used for cooking, dressing salads, and dipping bread.

Alright, I think I will take one bottle of olive oil. What else? I have orange juice, coffee, tea, soda, bottled water. What else? All the frozen food. I'd like some frozen vegetables, also some ice cream, of course. I love ice cream. Frozen pizza, we usually eat pizza on Fridays, and frozen fish fillets.

Frozen fish fillets are cuts of fish that have been frozen to preserve freshness. They can be baked or fried and used in various dishes. We have the best frozen fish fillets.

That's good. Frozen dinners, I have that on my list too. What is it?

Frozen dinners are precooked meals that are frozen and can be reheated quickly. They offer a convenient option for a fast meal. You can also find that in the frozen food section.

Excellent. About some snacks, good. Cookies, crackers. What is the difference?

Cookies are small sweet baked treats that come in many varieties such as chocolate chip or oatmeal. They are often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. Crackers are thin crispy baked goods often eaten with cheese or dips. They come in various flavors and types. That's the difference.

Oh cool, I'll take both. Popcorn, nuts, toilet paper, paper towel, very important. Laundry detergent, what is that?

Laundry detergent is a cleaning agent used to wash clothes. It comes in liquid or powder form.

Oh, okay, yeah, I'll take that too. Dish soap, what is that?

Dish soap is a liquid used for washing dishes by hand. It removes grease and food residues from plates and utensils.

You can learn something new each day, huh? Alright, trash bags and personal care. Toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, lotion. I think I already have them. Cereal, got it. Oatmeal, yeah, I don't know what that is.

Sorry, don't worry, that is why I am here. Oatmeal is a hot breakfast cereal made from oats and it can be cooked with water or milk and topped with fruits or sweeteners.

Sounds delicious. Granola bars, pancake mix, honey. Now condiments and sauce, can you help me with that? I don't know that part. Ketchup, yeah, mayonnaise too, but there are more like mustard, soy sauce, hot sauce. What are they?

Soy sauce is a salty dark liquid made from fermented soybeans. It is used in cooking and as a dipping sauce. Hot sauce is a spicy condiment made from chili peppers. Anything else?
