It sells Staffordshire Oatcakes. This delicacy is available only around Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire and the oat-based bread is said to be a variation of the recipe for chapatis, an Indian bread enjoyed by the Staffordshire Regiment of the British Army when deployed to India in the 19th century. http://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/content/articles/2006/04/19/local_heroes_oatcake_intro_feature.shtml We only get to eat them when we go out on our boat in Cheshire as the local store sells packets of them.
