This Week's Shopping

Basically I go shopping at least twice a week. I don't know if it's just because I am bad at it at this point, or because the bread here goes stale overnight. I think it's in part that I can only practically carry a week of food.

So again, here are my tasty treats.



This was less than 20 Euros this time... more like 16. Since the Christmas holidays are coming up, pandoro, panetone, torrone, and more Christmas goodies are appearing. That giant thing on the left is a pandoro. I have mushrooms and a yellow bell pepper (cheap here!) and a zucchini. More butter, a bottle of olive oil, some more red wines to try, some German gingerbread cookies, and three yogurts. Frutti di bosco (fruits of the forest also known as mixed berry), coffee yogurt, and stracciatella, which is a type of chocolate chip.

I decided to brave the nice deli, La Scelta, to get some good cheeses and olives. Here it is all wrapped up... I ended up with bel paese and some taleggio. I'll show off some cheese pictures as I go along.



The nice thing is, even really good cheeses here are more like 15 Euros a kilogram.
