the good thing about visiting cities that are not very big or well known, is that you don’t feel the pressure to do all the touristy things that are almost mandatory in big cities. and so you free up much more time for other fun stuff. like sampling the local cuisine and looking at stuff at the supermarkets! these are some of our local favourite finds:
huge knäckebröd wheel
jam in a plastic tube
cute chocolate packaging
liquorice flakes
topping sauce
lingon tea
lingon jam
nutella & fake nutella
barcaffe coffee & turkcaffee – same thing, apparently, but they sell it under that name outside slovenia!
rain boots drier

@vicki: i think the jam is supposed to be a “refill”, so you pour it on a glass jar when you open it :)
Lingon berry stuff is the best! I found it in the IKEA here and tried it out. I think I inhaled the whole jar of jam.
I have such fun in supermarkets too. Glad to know I’m not the only weirdo in town! :P
Such a fun post. I’d love to have some nutella right now. :)
