Food in other places

I love going to supermarkets in foreign countries - as much to find out how they work and they're laid out as the goods and foods in them.  You never know what household thing or new food you might find that is just an "aha" moment for you.  In Singapore two years ago, I discovered a bike seat that easily straps onto the bike rack and it made transporting the kids in bad weather, so much easier.

Now this is one of my favourite things from the Netherlands... you don't seem to find it in other places:


Can you guess what it is in the tube?

It's dark and white chocolate spread!  

It's the content as much as the form with the content that makes this a delight.  In the Netherlands they have ketchup and mayonnaise in tubes too.  I wonder if it makes it more environmentally friendly or less. ..

Here's another new discovery at the supermarket:


Yes it's crunchy Ovaltine spread... it's malt flavoured, crispy (from rice and nuts) and chocolatey too!  Yum!
