Scruffy Jumper

So I was wandering through this grocery store the other and just kept having to laugh. First, it can be a little bit of a potshot when you are buying things here. There are a lot of products which are made for Albania so I can usually muddle through the labels in Albanian and determine what’s inside, but the ones in Macedonian, Greek, Italian, and Russian are still at a loss to me.
There is not a lot of American products here. There are a lot of Italian and Greek stuff. Randomly, one of the only American products (other than Coke) is Philadelphia Cream Cheese. And by the way… it is delicious. And reminds me of home.
Thirdly, the baby food and the liquor are in the same aisle. I’m from Pennsylvania so its weird enough for me to see liquor in a grocery store, but it cracked me up to see liquor sharing the aisle with baby food.
I was looking for chicken breast which they don’t have any, but fortunately they have not run out of sheep’s head so I picked up a few for a delicious soup.
Finally, they have Titanic chocolate here. It has a picture of Leonardo and Kate Winslet on the front. When did this movie come out?!? I swear I remember going to a midnight show my freshman year of college (which was quite a while ago.) I decided not to buy the Titanic chocolate.
