Bon appetit and salut!

The Texas grocery store chain, H-E-B, has a Mexican Hot Chocolate ice cream from their store brand line. It is fantastic.

I like this hummus with sundried tomatoes on crispbread as a snack, but after a few days I get tired of it, I buy something else and about half of the hummus just rots away in the fridge until I throw it out.

The Polish supermarket here sells soups that are cheaper than the common Dutch soup in the regular supermarket, 2 euros for a bag of 500 cl. And Polish soup (Central European in general) is great. I like the sauerkraut soup a lot.

Amstel Radler is a pretty good low alohol beer, if you don’t want to have too much alcohol. Good refreshing lemon taste.

I like the Italian wines from this brand, Riporta: they sell Italian wine in different styles, from different regions and different grapes. The pecorino is a white wine that is nice and fruity and sparkly, easy drinking. At 8 bucks it is not expensive.

I have to share this recipe video since I was desperate to make it after seeing it on youtube – I did make it, and it was impressively delicious.

De Molen is a craft brewery in the Netherlands that makes really good beer. They have a lot of different beers but you can always make out their flavor. I think it’s the yeast they use that makes them so recognizable.

Over a year ago it was revealed all of the cheap honey supermarkets sell is fake. It is still in the stores. Wonder what that tells about our food supply.

Ugh.

My partner insists on buying only at organic supermarkets like Alnatura, which is financially challenging but at least we’re actually consistently eating good food.

I try to buy my food from smaller shops as much as possible. I don’t trust the supermarket chains at all. They sell chemical slop.
