(I've gawked inside a Target once, on a long-ago visit to the Excited Snakes of America, and yeah, this is the ONLY way to shop there.)

@cstross I wonder what wine pairs well with both sushi and cinnamon rolls…
@stevendbrewer Inari sushi I can see working okay-ish with cinnamon rolls? (It's got that sweet thing going.) Also mochi. But the wine is a head-scratcher. I'm guessing it's MD 20/20; if this had happened in Scotland it'd be Buckfast Tonic Wine (but there's no Target here and Scotmid just doesn't have the same bottomless-pit-of-despair vibe).
@cstross Back in the day, it would have been Boone's Farm. But I don't know what the current thing is. https://vinepair.com/articles/boones-farm-wine-history/
@stevendbrewer Ah, so that's what American X-ers drink instead of scrumpy!
@cstross And, just for reference, Target (pronounced "targé") is where Walmart shoppers go when they want to feel upscale. If you really want to experience the true depths of despair, go to Ocean State Job Lot, which is stocked with stuff that didn't sell anywhere else. Or was returned. https://www.oceanstatejoblot.com/
@stevendbrewer Hey, this is the UK! We have Tesco here. (WalMart tried to break into the supermarket biz, bought ASDA—the third-ranked chain—and made a big noise. A few years later they ran weeping to the anti-trust people. Then they gave up, sold most of their stake in ASDA, and got out. Retailing in the UK is hardcore!)
