Supermercato: food tasting, study end of the day

As yesterday was a study day, I didn´t eat out anywhere, but went to one of the usual, though larger, grocery stores, I go to, got ordinary grocery store foods to try. When traveling, or even when in Bergen where I live, I like to just try a few local things too.

Again, as I go here lots, these photos were not all taken yesterday.






The selection of fresh seasonal fruits, veggies, cheeses, meats, dairy, yogurt, milk, desserts, fresh made pastas was wonderfully tempting! Just a very few of the selection:












As it was a study day, just picnic foods, nothing that had to be actually cooked or prepared in any way, so here is what I got and tried:


 19Euros, for everything, including tax.


Buccatini (like thick hollow spaghetti) allÁmatriciana (a slightly spicy red sauce, with pancetta). And a piece of the just baked, warm, flat focaccia-like bread called schiaccaiata Toscana. The pasta was 1Euro. The entire bread was 1.71 Euros. I liked the pasta and sauce, and bread, but did not like the pancetta.

A fresh, biological, Italian made plain yogurt, called Bianco Magro. 1.76 Euros for the small baby food sized jar. It was very good!


Another photo of everything on my Norwegian wool sweater picnic blanket. See the toothpaste? It´s Antica Erboristeria, menta and salvia. 1.28 Euros.


La Magica al cioccolato. Delicious! A thick deep rich chocolately pudding, with darker chocolate pudding on top, with small pieces of chocolate that had crispies in it. All that topped with a rich creamy pudding, and more lighter chocolate pudding and sprinkles of more bits of chocolate. 1.76Euros. yum!
Multi-layered tiramisu. I already really like tiramisu, and this was delicious, nearly though not quite as good as homemade. Definitely will get this again too. Transcetto tiramisu. 2.69 Euros.
 Another chocolate dessert. Tartufo- mousse ai cioccolato con cuore di crema.  Thick dark and medium dark mousse, with a liquid dark chocolate sauce inside, topped with dark chocolate mousse. yum. 1.35 Euros.

For sandwiches, I got the focaccia-like bread, Schiacciata Toscana, 1.71 Euros. Sliced, cooked ham, Spalla Cotta, .69 Euros. Cheese, thin sliced, Scramorza Dolce Fette, 1.98 Euros.
