AfternoonTea

I usually rather skip the afternoon tea with something sweet to eat but occasionally I can't resist.

Anyway, I did some grocery shopping as my fridge was empty and I really needed to fill up my cupboard as well.
Once again I realised, how much different shopping in Germany is from shopping in Luxembourg.

First of all, the assortment of food is partly completely different, but also some products lack quality, especially fresh meat. Fresh fish is impossible to get, they only sell frozen fish and if you're lucky, they have what you need. Usually I just have to switch to something different which actually ruins my plans of a meal.

Therefore I decided to buy meat and fish in Luxembourg and brought it here. My freezer is quite big, so it allows me to store enough meat and fish for quite some time.

The difference in prices however is also quite striking. My shopping cart today was quite full but I only had to pay 45€ for 45 items. Wow, that makes an average of 1€ per item!
Healthy food is extremely important for me so I try to avoid convenience food as much as possible and always buy fresh vegetables and fruits.

Anyway, to get back to my afternoon tea: I bought this fresh apple turnover at the bakery because, as I said before, I just couldn't resist.
The combination of the pastry with the sweet sugar coat and the apple filling is a nice afternoon treat in autumn.

Talking about apple turnovers: I don't know how many different doughs, fillings and forms there are in the world, but both in Germany and in Luxembourg, there are two and it's always a subject for discussion in my house as my parents and I seem to have completely different opinions about this. As for me, I prefer the sugar coated flat ones.

I found this green Chai for Chai Latte in a random store the other day. The taste is awesome, though I wish that it didn't contain any sugar, because it is a little too sweet for my liking. Nevertheless, I enjoy having a cup of this Chai Latte every now and then.


Stay tuned, dear readers, more will follow!
