For the Sake of Comparison

You guys may be wondering how the ol' cooking for myself thing is going. It's going fine, actually. I eat a lot of the same stuff but who cares. I am surviving and each week learning a little more about the mercadona I shop at. I thought it might be fun to do a post about some things that we have back home, so you can see what they look like here in Spain!

Copos: Flakes! More accurately, cereal. Just like Special K. They do, in fact, have Special K here, but it was is way more expensive. I'm pretty sure the one I buy is the store brand.

Patatas fritas: Potato chips! Need I say more? 

Muesli: No idea what this means. They are granola bars that I discovered and have been a lifesaver for trips/long days of class/when I am in a hurry. Constantly in my purse! 

Ketchup: I still get amused by things that say "American Style" on them. 

Milka: Not positive on this, but I think you can get this brand of chocolate in the States. If so, I will be hunting it down. This photo is actually just a wrapper cleverly placed to look full (thanks for that talent, Mom!). I don't know what could possibly have happened to the actual chocolate...

I bought these a few weeks ago at a Tabacs store, which is a random drugstore you see on every corner here. We headed there before the movies one Friday afternoon. I also bought a Snickers, as you can see. The Snickers tasted normal. These Skittles tasted as weird as the package looks! No one does processed sugar like in the States.
