I miss loads of dutch things and find loads of English things odd. I love the AH in my town in Holland. It has got everything I need. In the UK on the other hand, I am forced to go to bigger towns to get specific stuff, because the small sainsbury's or cooperative's don't Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36755769.post-18225953530676854922012-11-06T11:09:14.549+01:002012-11-06T11:09:14.549+01:00Hilarious!

And yes, it's the same here except we don't even have a 4, I think our largest is a 2, or perhaps a 3. Whatever it is, there is no lamb but there are about 14 types of pork. I bet all the local Turks and Muslims love that (not). However we do have limes!Victoria R.http://www.squidoo.com/starter-recipesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36755769.post-21412658478572310122012-10-24T23:27:04.903+02:002012-10-24T23:27:04.903+02:00the supermarkets sell things that are most wanted....the supermarkets sell things that are most wanted. why sell cereal when no one really buys the product. i remember eating bread, 'beschuit' or 'ontbijtkoek' for breakfast. never cereal. so no wonder you cant get it! and thats a thing that i miss in supermarkets here- just some nice breadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36755769.post-74188462678927568862012-07-20T13:20:15.626+02:002012-07-20T13:20:15.626+02:00I live in Breda so I think we have a 4 (maybe a 3?...I live in Breda so I think we have a 4 (maybe a 3?) You can get sugar-free "sirop" to make squash. I hate sugary drinks but the sugar-free one isn't too bad. I miss Robinson's sugar-free apple and blackberry though! As for the cream, it's only in the UK (as far as I know) where you do get single and double. In the US it's heavy (for whipping) or light (like thick milk).

Cream is a problem but Kingsalmarkt usually solves that problem (or any other one) if I'm desperate. One thing about AH is that every one is slightly different - even in terms of the quality of produce. Of the three that are close to me, one is clearly ahead of the others - it is also a nicer/richer neighbourhood.
