cheese stuffed things.

As much as I miss some grocery things from home, like 1% milk in a bag, Doritos, and Mommy's surprise, I have definitely grown to some uniquely European things that I will definitely crave once back in North America. What is the solution? Eat as many as you can before you leave.

Unfortunately I need to clean out the cupboards and eat the food I have been storing for the past 4 months, which means a lot of soup and pasta. Even so, I am going to enjoy these few new favourites from the grocery store until the day I leave.

Number 1 - Kasekrainer. Believe me, I am no fan of sausages.. but oh man when it come to one of these baby's, I will have two (not really my heart would stop). I wouldn't really classify it as a sausage, more of a glorified hot dog with cheese in it. And as they don't have Schneider's or Maple Leaf here, fancy hot dogs is what we do. AND the best part, they are already cooked, all you have to do it heat it up in a frying pan. Sizzly cheese stuffed meat sticks.. I know you wish you had some.

2 - Feta stuffed Olives. I should have split these two up, but seriously.. I like cheese and anything stuffed with it is a winner in my books. These are purchased from the Naschmarkt here in Vienna, along with vine leaves, falafels and the best pita bread and hummus around. As a new fan of olives, I am unsure of the availability of freshly stuffed cheesy olives in Canada.. I will be looking further into this. 


3 - A large variety of dark beers. Canada requires more selection, and so does Long Sault. 


4 - Bakeries, on every. single. corner. I will always choose the Schokocroissant. Always.


5 - Manner cookies. These are something I can bring home, and I will.

I am sure there will be more when I find that want it and can't get it. Isn't that the way it always is? 

A Kasekrainer and salad is pretty near my favourite meal these days.
