It was the weekly shop again, and because I was there, we got a few things extra.
Hubby only buys what's on the shopping list. It's really unusual for him to look through the shelves and find new produce. Occasionally though he does.
Yesterday a few of the finds I came home with.
After trying the sausages in their range (excellent and very moist) I decided to throw the casserole and nutmeat range into the tins cupboard. They could come in useful with me being simply too busy at the moment to cook.
We were at the pet feeds store (think warehouse with everything to do with every animal/bird from cattle to mice). The local honey was $10 for a kilo so given I needed a kilo for one of the lemon preservation recipes I'm going to try, it was daft not to purchase it.
And the supermarket had the chickpea tempeh again.... Plus list week I found the gem on the right in a local IGA supermarket (equivalent of the Spar in the UK).
Finally the main supermarket had the odd jobs passionfruit in again where they work out at $0.65 per fruit and they are so very tasty. A far cry from the $2.49 each they are lose. And the fresh pasta was reduced, so I picked up 2 packets. We prefer this one because of its taste. I don't have time to make any at home at the moment

I scored a 2.8kg container of local honey for $25 last week. I was so happy. It's so much better than the supermarket stuff. Plus it's cheaper.
I also bought 2 huge wheels of cheese for the upcoming 18th we are hosting here.

I'd be hard pushed to find any sort of tempeh here, let alone chickpea!

I know. It's so much easier here eating vegan (plus eggs and honey) than it is in the UK.
This 'Bouquet Garni I found in a Polish shop today - it cost 99p (a bit more than a dollar).
I didn't really know what I was buying aside from recognising the dill flower and garlic bulb. So here it is unwrapped:
I worked out (by nibbling) that the white triangular shape is horseradish. But I still don't know what the leafy stuff is:
Any ideas?

Marinated, thinly sliced pork butt for Korean bbq
A head of red leaf lettuce (Michigan Red)
Finely shredded scallions
Ssamjang soybean paste
Sweet pickled pearl onions
Japanese style seaweed salad
Kimch flavored dried squid strings
Octupus sashimi
Flying fish roe
All for Sunday dinner.

I think you may be right - I'm not sure what to do with them. I have the feeling that this combination of things must feature in a popular Polish dish - but I've no idea what.
The flower is probably fennel not dill but they are pretty much interchangeable.
After a bit of research I came to the White Borscht conclusion before I saw your reply! I'd not come across it before. I will make it tomorrow...
I love White Borscht. My MIL used to make it every Easter. The first time, I had no idea what was being served. It was a soup that just sort of resembled dishwater. As I was about to taste it, my FIL stopped me and sliced an hard boiled egg and put it in my soup. I attempted to taste it again, but he stopped me and tore up a few pieces of rye bread and put it in my soup. A third try at tasting it, and he stopped me once more, slicing some kielbasi into the soup.
A minute later he asked me what was I waiting for, the soup is getting cold. lol.
It really is delicious, though. Not dishwater at all.

I've got an egg at the ready and some Polish smoked sausage.... photo to follow when I've made it.
Here we go - White Borscht (with Pernod)

Forerib of Hereford beef. Let's just say I'm under a little pressure not to get this wrong!
