FOOD

 

I thought some of you might like to see some of the groceries we can buy at the little stand outside our apartment and the prices. I usually don't shop here unless it is an emergency. It is just a little tiny shop. I don't even think it has electricity.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

SHOPPING IN UKRAINE

  Today while we were grocery shopping I was thinking about how strange our first trips to the grocery store were. I had no idea what most of the items were. IT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT IF YOU CAN'T READ OR UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE. All of the red sauces in the jars looked the same. I thought this bag with the chicken being dipped in red sauce was barbeque sauce but it tasted like salsa ketchup. The milk comes in boxes and can sit on the shelves without refrigeration FOR EVER. or it comes in a bag like this mayonaise. You can also buy yougurt in a bag like this too. The little blue box is feta cheese. The tub is jelly. Juice comes in a big box. (the blue box in the back with cherries on it). It looks like a giant juice box like the kids put in their lunches. The little blue triangle shaped containers are tomato paste. I'm still not sure what the other jars of red sauces are, I have to do a little experimenting.
