The first point is a long overdue post. On January 28th my husband needed a computer part replaced. Knowing this installation might take a few hours we wanted some diversion. I found the perfect place, Jungle Jim’s international market. He appreciated my idea; the man adores different foods.
Not only did driving surface roads prove easy but I discovered a branch of our new Internet service provider therein. My guy’s honorary military discharge grants some small discounts. This latest requiring in-person verification, we expected another road trip until that day.
We also replenished favorite foods. The shrimp chips were too pricey, as were many items. Various dried noodles are a different story. Despite the recommended shelf life, most types don’t spoil for a long while.
We also stocked up on pickled herring. It’s in the German section.
On that note, my brother and I planned a meeting with our spouses at a German style sausage house in Columbus, Ohio last Sunday. The distance is almost perfectly halfway between our residences.
What stores do you frequent? Does your grocer offer international products?

How fun. We shop at Raley's and Costco. We can get just about anything from other countries. We love that too. So many wonderful food to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week. Hugs. ♥
I didn't know your hubby was a veteran. Please tell him, I thank him for his service. Our local stores have an international section, but it is very limited to things like taco shells and Chinese foods. XO
ReplyDeleteWe usually shop at Fresh Market and they have a nice variety, but right next door is an international food shop. German food is good!
