Darrell Sorts Out Next Weeks Shopping List.

I feel that a comestible review may be in the offing ..........

...... after Nigel nipped into Lidl on the way back from the school run to pick up the latest store flyer for Darrell.

It seems that next week is Central and Eastern European week and as such, it would be rude not to avail ourselves of something of an exotic type nature to broaden our comestible horizons, although, it has to be said, that Kata, our lovely neighbour across the hall, has always ensured that our Hungarian epicurean education has never been found wanting, especially on high days and holidays! 

 So far Darrell has put a poppy seed crumble cake on his list for Nigel to pick up .......

...... as well as a bottle of honey beer and perhaps some potato and quark dumplings, if the little fella can manage it all.

On another, unrelated, page they both noticed that cherries were also on offer, at £1.69 per 200g, a little too expensive for our rigorous budgetary limits   ..........

...... but they still brought back wonderful memories of our last Greek Oddity (in June 2023, but no photos to refer back to thanks to flipping Google) when we were able to feast upon a whole carrier bag full of said fruit, fresh from the tree, bought for about 5 euros from the back of the pick up truck that used to call at our beach every day.  

So, I think we'll steel our pennies and appetites for later this year and our next Oddity, when we'll get a much bigger bang (or bag) for our buck, as they say. What are we like, if not a little parsimonious now and again!
