Yes, I broke down and realized if I wanted butter on my
toast or be able to make cookies I would have to pay 9$ for butter. There are 3 supermarkets (I use that
term loosely) in town that cater to ex-pats and have things like nutella
(almost $10) pickled cabbage from Germany and snickers bars.
Meat is even more interesting. They have hot dogs and chicken fingers and although I am a
meat eater I like my meat to resemble the animal from which it came. The other market did have meat which
included rabbit and goat…not sure what to do with them…so I think I will be
sticking with lentils for now :-)
I did go to the Khona-Khona a local market recently and was
very excited to find eggplant, okra, cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, onions,
bananas, pineapple and avocado – it truly made me very happy and I realized,
I’ll be fine here! I even already
hosted my first dinner party.
