Crack and Wine Gums

18 days into Lent and the lack of wine, gin and chocolate is less traumatic than I expected. Still to help keep me occupied I've been taking a different tack with the presents for Mr DB from my travels. Rather than buying him edible gifts that I know he'll like, I dash round Food Village at Schipol Airport, in the manner of Supermarket Sweep, trying to locate the most amusingly labelled food.

So far, I have brought back:

Crax

A tasty biscuit snack from Turkey, with a hint of chilli, that appealed a) to my playground sense of humour and b) due to the drug word play.




Total Loss














Who needs wine, when you can have automotive wine gums? With a bizarre name?

I bought these to serve Mr DB a reminder that he was a total loss at bringing me back any giftage when he was working in Paris regularly a few years ago!

Unlike British wine gums these have some odd flavours, including pineapple and licorice. I suspect these will linger at the back of the cupboard...
