There is nothing we like more than a mooch round a Greek Mini Mart ………
We always play “first one to spot the Marmite” and this year Nigel won the honour. However, that is as far as it goes, when we are in foreign climes we like to eat as the natives, Marmite may be our savoury spread of choice back at The Towers, but in Greece (or any other country for that matter) it does not pass our lips). We are not the sort of Brits who seek out a full English on holiday, that would just be toooooooooo rude! But it is reassuring to know that the staples are there in an emergency type of situation.
We also very much enjoy looking for the odd exotic crisp or two ……. the Honey Butter, I have to say was an acquired taste …….
…… and the Fou Dou Nia just sounded so un-Greek, but for some reason Nigel did not make a considered purchase of these delicacies …….. I think it may have been the “possible” peanut flavour he wasn’t quite savouring!
It was the tomato ketchup flavour Ruffles that had him getting his wallet out, we can now get tomato ketchup stix and Cheetos from the select Polish shops of Evesham …… 
……. but you know we are really on a Greek Odyssey when we have a packet of Tomato Ketchup Ruffles as part of our
Ether, or æther, from the Greek for upper air.
ReplyDeleteAlways a good idea, trying the local goodies.
Oh goodness to me - what a beautiful site on the beach - monkey you are rockin' those sun specs, young Nige - you can have all those tom ketch ruffles to your good self. Hols or not! JantheFan x
