Paris Part 2 -The Groceries

Heading home from Paris, my suitcase was stuffed with pantyhose and groceries. I had meant to bring home a whole new work wardrobe but that just didn't happen. Everytime I left a store,  I had filled my bag with food and under things. Oh well. I'm not going to show you the underthings, so here's the food!






The gold tin is Rose Tea from Fauchon. Fun Fact: Fauchon is the most ridiculous store I have ever been to. I love it! It is a speciatly grocery store. Their shelves are lined with exoctic ingredients all packaged in pink, gold, black, and white.
The black bag is filled with Angelina's Hot Chocolate Mix. I'm not sure I've ever left a country without bringing back chocolate.
Next I have a big ol'jar o'honey. This honey is flavoured with a small field flower. I got it at a farmers market from a nice old lady. It was half the price my sister paid for a teeny tiny jar of honey from Fauchon. Mine however is not packaged in fushia. Drawback.
Of course I brought home mustard! I spent forever in Maille and was not about to leave until I was certain I would be only slightly under my luggage weight limit at the airport. It's a good thing skivies aren't heavy.  This was their seasonal trio. Neon! The green one in basil and parsley. The orange is pepper and garlic flavoured. Lasly the purple one is some kind of berry. I've only cracked open the green one so far. It is very tasty on my sandwiches but I feel I should be doing something more than putting it between plain bread and honey ham. I've done the odd salad dressing with it, so I feel slightly better about sqandering limited edition condiments on Tueday lunches. Slightly.
Our layover on the way back was in Germany, so it was in Frankfurt that I stocked up on Duty Free. Sadly I have eaten all my German chocolate. Luckily I have my biscotti-flavoured Bailey's to concole me.
