When I lived in Sweden I always had red and black berries in the freezer, or fresh during season, since it is such a great source of extremely healthy antioxidants. When I arrived here I was contemplating over what to add instead, since raspberries and blueberries are quite expensive import items here. Then I realised that what is expensive here is cheap there and the other way around and now I eat dried cranberries like candy, on the yoghurt or just on the run, together with some walnuts.
Vegetables is really a separate chapter and everything is multiple size of what you find in Sweden. If you have more or less an avocado fetish like me, it is heavenly to have perfectly ripe huge avocados available all the time. The broccoli heads at home are like one sub branch of the heads here and one head is enough for a weeks consumption.
We have a butcher close by, Samir, who makes the best meat balls I think I have ever tasted. He mixes minced veal with lamb fat, spices and herbs. When you fry them the fat melts off, but leaves the most exquisite taste in the meat. He also makes spicy, fresh sausages that you also fry in a pan.
Now I got hungry from writing... Better eat something before aikido. Pita with hummous?
