[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 547039, member: 14557"] Thanks for advice. difficult child is feed by the event he is participating for (and probably reasonably healthy, their coaches would freak out if the boys would only get junk for a week) so what he is looking are things to bring home. And really your supermarkets are a tourist attraction. I remember when I was in States first time, the supermarket was so huge. Same with malls, I couldn't believe my eyes. Nowadays also our supermarkets and malls are huge, but selection is always little different. And the cereal aisle is a classic. Our selection is maybe one fifth of yours in cereals at best, usually smaller (our porridge selection then again tends to be bigger.) Condensed or evaporated milk is not used here at all, then again we have very varying selection of different sour-milk and -cream products, some even don't have English names. And everything is also available lactose-free. Also the bread selection is very different (we go with much darker breads.) Food cultures differ, but because we watch so many American movies and tv shows, you kind of want to try and taste the things people eat on them. Okay, I get the convenience point with mixes, though we take even more short cuts. No dough mixes, we buy frozen, ready for oven things, when we are at the hurry :happy: [/QUOTE]
