"Sweet Escapes: European Grocery Shopping Spree"
The allure of European grocery shopping is undeniable, with every country offering its unique twist on flavors and treats. For foodies, stocking up on goodies before leaving the continent can be a delightful task. Here's a taste of what we love to buy while traveling in Europe.
In Belgium, snacks like Meli honey waffles and cake have won our hearts, as evident from the author's enthusiastic account of buying them at local supermarkets. The 19th-century interior of a mustard shop in Ghent is another treat, with its soothing aromas of spices and herbs. Meanwhile, France's supermarkets are renowned for their beautifully arranged shelves, showcasing artisanal cheeses like Bonne Maman jam section offerings.
Italy has stolen our hearts with its sugary sweets, particularly fruit jellies, which can be bought in huge quantities at local shops. Our weakness for Dufour's Big Frut range is undeniable. For a more indulgent treat, we're smitten with Baci chocolates – those "little kisses" of nutty goodness encased in dark chocolate and topped with a hazelnut.
Irish supermarkets are another haven for foodies, offering a wide selection of farmhouse cheeses like Gubbeen and Durrus. However, it's the lesser-known gems like Blanco Niño tortilla chips made in Tipperary that have won our hearts. A bag of these spicy tortillas is an absolute must-have when shopping in Ireland.
Germany has its own unique charm, with fantastic bakeries selling everything from pastries to pretzels at many supermarket chains. Freshly baked Brötchen are a particular treat, and filling them with cream cheese or meat from the deli counters makes for a satisfying meal. From confectionery aisles like Ritter Sport chocolate to vegan gummy bears, Germany's sweets offerings never disappoint.
Last but not least, no trip abroad would be complete without stocking up on a few essentials, like Barry's tea and Tayto crisps in Ireland or Lidl's everyday essentials in Germany. With so many delightful treats and goodies to discover, European grocery shopping has become an adventure of its own – a sweet escape from the ordinary.
