this big Korean supermarket is the place to go for your soba noodles, coconut milk, sesame oil, rice vinegar, bok choy, tofu, yams, spices from all over the world and so much more! take some time, the staff will help you with translations, when in doubt about ingredients.
As mentioned before we traveled lightly, one small bag each. so i concentrated on the essentials. Speculoos and hagelslag!
Speculoos is awesome! the accidentally vegan cookie flavoured paste is heaven in a glass!
Hagelslag are basically chocolate sprinkles that the wonderful Dutch people put on margarine toast. I don’t get Hagelslag but i’ll eat it anyways. These will look so cute on cupcakes!
I picked up some from the super market chain Albert Heijn that happens to be vegan and has amazing packaging!
and speaking of awesome packaging and chocolate flavour, here are some choc flakes:
great dark chocolate bars
of course, i also picked up some non-food items: mostly books
The Get Lost! guide is indeed cool and i highly recommend it for hip and insider tips. it has such an adorable cover, too!
Cannot wait to go back soon(ish)!
Alternative Outfitters. Vegan Fashion.
over the next few weeks i am challenging myself to be less wasteful, use all items from the pantry (yes, i have a pantry!) which will also help me to be a more creative cook, and buy vegan and organic products without spending a whole lot of cash on them.
today i went to Hofer (Aldi for our German friends) and got all this for € 15 (had a € 10 coupon, too!)
bananas, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bread, pasta sauce, oregano, a nice big bag of buckwheat & awesome strawberry muesli bars, for the modern woman on the go! damn you, hidden honey!!
if you know of any deals, like cheap soy milk or pastries, send them my way.
in an ideal world we would grow and make all of our food ourselves, we would only shop at the farmer’s market or the family-owned store around the corner, but in the real world we grab our environmentally friendly cloth tote bags and walk to the nearest supermarket and if we are lucky they have their own organic, vegan-friendly line of products, like Zielpunkt/Plus does.
i actually really like their tofu.
you get two blocks of firm tofu for an affordable € 1,99, good for frying and your very own version of a no-egg salad.
equally affordable: their soy rice milk, yours for € 1,19.
and there is more cheap organic vegan-friendliness to be found! just you wait.
