New old food;


The other day I walked to the mini-mall up the street and stopped in at the large grocery store on the main floor. We had only gone in to look around and compare the prices to the store closer to home. There are a few food items that we never got around to finding in Oslo. The items were so unnecessary, that a hunt for them was completely unnecessary. This day however, two of these food items found us.




The first item we came across was macaroni and cheese. It tastes very much like the craft brand, and looks the same. On the box it says, "American Macaroni and Cheese" and even has images on the American flag. The instructions on the back are in Norwegian as well as English. Now normally when ever instruction are given in English, the English flag appears next to the text (the home country flag of any language used is pictured next to the text to help the reader find the correct language). One the box of Macaroni and cheese, the American flag was used to mark the English text.




The other item we found was chocolate chips. This was the first time that I had ever come across chocolate chips in Norway (not that I was looking for them). The chips were richer, and about twice the size as the ones in the states. We bought a bag and made chocolate chip cookies right away. They were all eaten with in two hours of emerging from the oven.
