Different Pleasures For Different Folks

With our sun loungers being free if we partake in a cheeky snack or two at Krista's (no hardship there!!), Darrell's usual, very comprehensive holiday packed lunches have gone by the wayside, not that he is complaining ........


......... however, he has found nipping into the supermarket at the end of an evening, to look for sandwichy bits and pieces for the next day a hard habit to break .........


........especially when wandering round the aisles in exotic climes is all part and parcel of what makes his holiday!  


So, Nigel and I have unclipped his wings and told him to fly free, not only in our beloved, strained Greek yoghurt and honey sections, but also among his very favourite, to wit the cleaning products, where he can be continually heard wondering what this or that is like or whether something that catches his eye is as good as any one of his ample supply of products at home. I swear he'd take one of everything back if he could.


Then in the food section, at least we know what Zwan is and to be honest, I'm certainly wouldn't be adverse to one of Darrell's most excellent spam fritters using it, should a considered purchase be in the making.


However, I don't think I'd be so keen on any Flokos products, going by the illustrations on the packet, too many testicles tentacles and suckers for my liking, thank you very much!


Darrell says he's just taking everything all in for the moment and will then have a glorious supermarket sweep on our last evening. 


He's thinking:- Oreo type biscuits with a banana filling for us to review, a box of Baklava and Turkish Delight to put away for Christmas to evoke happy holiday memories and most definitely a packet of special pasta and sauce mix, to have a go at making Pastitsio, our Greek dish of choice when we get home!  


Naturally, Nigel wanted to get in on the act, so he's currently considering the extensive range of toothpaste available, as he's got an up and coming appointment with Jo, his lovely hygienist, in a week or so's time and he wants to impress her with a little gift!!!!


As for me, well, I'm just happy when they are happy, but my moment might come later, you never know!

I do like a browsing a supermarket abroad - always some interesting things to find. I'm off to look up this Pastitsio sauce. JantheFan x

I like supermarkets, when I'm on holiday, Even better, are the local markets.
