20 minutes in a Dutch grocery store

Posted in Short & Sweet by Cheryl on 3 October 2006

On our way back to Germany from Holland this weekend, Tim and I stopped at a Dutch grocery store (Albert Heijn) to pick up items we can’t get in Germany. Who knows, maybe you’re curious just what we bought so I’ll tell you:

  • 6 boxes of Dutch party crackers (”toastjes”)
  • 2 little jars Dutch cashnew nut peanut butter and 1 big jar Dutch crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 big box chocolate pieces for on bread (”vlokken”) and a mini variety pack of the same
  • 6 boxes of pre-packaged spices for meals: Mexican Burritos, Chicken Siam, African Bobbito (hamburger casserole with apple), red curry, and 2 other spicy Indian dishes
  • 1 container chicken-curry (”kipkerrie”) salad and 1 peanut chicken (kipsate) salad
  • 2 containers “tapenade” (oil-based spread for crackers) - one sun-dried tomato, one green olive
  • 1/2 loaf white (Dutch) bread, fresh of course, and a package of 6 fresh white buns
  • 2 cartons yoghurt drink - orange for me, peach for Tim

    I love tapenade, but it doesn’t love me. It’s for skinny folk. I am on a very strict diet until the wedding.
