In Germany, you can get so many fresh fruits and vegetables, I mean the variety is just delectable! There are less boxed meals, less meals that require you to “Just add water!” Don’t get me wrong–it’s not that Germans make everything from scratch or never eat out, but they have a greater variety of foods available to them for home preparation it seems. And I haven’t even mentioned all the ethnic markets that abound even in a small town like Giessen (it’s about the size of Joplin). I wrote about them before, though, so you can check out that post.

Amazes me every day. Did we take you guys to the Russian store? The death and deboning took like 5 minutes. Or less. Nope, no pics--the death and deboning station was behind a little half-wall. Mmm, enjoy the yummy pineapple for me! I wish we could visit, but there really isn't any time now. :((( @Beth: I just love the ethnic diversity in this town the size of Joplin! Amazes me every day.

It's extra fun for me, having been to some of them. ;) I can't believe the dude killed and deboned the fish right then and there! How long did that take? Did you get any pictures? Incidentally, pineapple here costs 3 for $1.50. We eat it all of the time! You should visit. :) That sounds fun to shop at so many ethnic places, Linden!
