I'm just back from shopping and I forgot to buy toilet paper
Anyway, the supermarket was not well stocked, but I got
A rump steak (their last one), ground beef (bit fatter than I like, but they didn't have anything else and I got a craving for burgers thanks to Wombat457)
Dry lemon (there was no tonic)
Red wine (South African, no Chilean in stock and the Zambian wine is a no no)
Savanna (cider)
Rice for the boys. (No chicken feet or chicken liver in stock, so I'm going to have to share my meat with them)
Coconut milk
Peanut butter
Tea
Cheese (for toasted sandwiches & pizza, processed cheese unfortunately)
Potatoes (stupid expensive)
Doritos (ince I bought mince & cheese and I still got tomatoes)
Beer (gotta have beer. The local beer is good, unlike the local wine)
Non edibles: doom, peaceful sleep, petrol

Doom is the brand name for our insect killer spray (cockroaches, mozzies, ants etc).

Mod edit: 21 posts moved to a new thread : Game and other wild animals.
I'd be fascinated to hear what people have actually eaten outside the Western world!

so it took 21 posts before someone decided to do something - might have been easier to have said something after say the 4th or 5th out of place post and saved time and effort.

Reminder that there are four volunteer staff, spread across time zones around the world, and sometimes, some of us are out for one reason or another (vacation, health, etc), so we’re not always in a position to jump right on things as quickly as you’d like. It’s just a fact of life.
