What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2025)?

It was shopping time and as usual I bought too much fresh ingredients.
Walking around the Chinese market, I could smell coriander (cilantro). Followed my nose and found it. Bought 20 bundles. Pls don't ask me why!
Luckily they got roots attached so they stay good a while longer. Plus I need the roots for curry paste.
Also bought leek, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, oyster sauce, rice noodles and 2 unknown sauces of which I think they told me they were nice and not sweet..
The at the supermarket:
Bread, yoghurt, vinegar, gherkins* & chicken feet
At the German butcher:
Smoked cooked ham, weisswurst, beef sausages, neck pork chops, kabanosy, liver paté and eggs
At the veg shop (I forgot I had bought at the Chinese place)
Tomatoes
Red onions
Brown onions
Carrots
Yellow & red peppers

And on my way back home 4 crates of mosi**


* The jar of the gherkins is a real handy size. A similar empty one is 150 kw, and the one with gherkins as well :)

** There is normally a beer shortage around christmas & new year

What on earth did I think buying 20 bunches of coriander?
All I can think of was that it was priced by the kg, so it felt akward buying omething like 50 gr.
I think the roots will come off, then the stick blender & the ice cube tray
