Chocolate anyone?
Jason and I made our first big grocery trip together to the Kaufmarkt. It’s one of the most overwhelming stores I’ve ever entered. You have to plan your trips there because there is just so much variety. Think Ikea but in terms of food shopping in a different language. Overwhelmed?
Plus, when you shop in this part of Germany, you have to pay for your cart and shopping bags. You get your euro back when you return the cart, but as for shopping bags, Carrie and I bought a reusable one at Rossman (like a Walgreens minus the medicine – you go to a pharmacy for medicine). They’re great bags because they fit in your purse or pocket. It’s funny to see some people try to hand carry their items to the car.
Anyways, I am always overwhelmed by the amount of food in Germany that contains some form of chocolate. Germans know their chocolate. Here is a picture of our pantry and refrigerator which contains at least 75% chocolate or dairy. No wonder we have to exercise here.
Also – if you buy a Kinder brand chocolate item, it has been fortified making it good for children. Good enough for me!
