in appreciation of how much money housebrand of Delhaize is saving us poor student-folk, i think i should introduce an item from the house brand 365 each week (don't count on it though haha).. check around my room, actually even those that aren't explicitly displaying the 365 label but bears the small but undeniable lion symbol of Delhaize are around, another sign of the genius that is Delhaize, not only at keeping prices low, quality good, but also at aesthetics of its products.. but let me reassure you i'm not a feen haha
anyway! first on the list, also part of my lunch today: beans!!
mm mmm they're good too! prefer them to the Heinz ones i eat back home.. on first look they seem kinda watery though, but they taste goooood, not too sour or salty, and i just checked the label, no wonder it seems watery, coz they don't use fake-o thickeners, unless witte bonen, water, tomatenpuree, suiker, zout and aroma's, any of these sound like cornstarch or Esomething-or-other-chemical-name-of-what-can-be-simply-termed-crap-additive-thing (haricots blancs, eau, concentre de tomates, sucre, sel, aromes - French, if you will..)
and yes managed to get my hands on chili! Been adding it to everything, instant noodles, mackerel salad (mackerel’s delicious by the way, bought the one in sunflower oil without knowing it, and mixed that with veg and chili, it’s awesome yums.. think mackerel will be my new go-to canned fish, instead of sardine or tuna.. have never bought tuna here, but sardines yes, and it’s gross they don’t remove the scales! But good thing the scales aren’t that awful to eat, coz they’re quite soft and not noticeable.. either that or my scale-removing skills using a single fork and occasional index finger or thumb are excellent enough to actually remove ALL the scales).. and this, my lunch here today, that red thing on top is chili :] :] :]
Wow and this is potent stuff man, I actually had to reach for cooling liquids! Or living in Belgium, a spice-scarce country has mellowed my taste buds much much.. nahh but that ain’t possible either, have been pumping myself with loads chili since I got my hands on some some time ago, but I actually thought that this time it was too spicy, and I NEVER think that haha.. ah well increased sensitivity to spice is not a bad thing either, but think I’m just having a bad (or good? eh maybe it's neither, just heightened-sensivity) taste bud day haha
yeah this the mackeral and chili.. man it's so good just like that, no dressing nothing (the mackeral was in oil, so)
black sesame paste that friend kindly gave me a packet of.. well aided in no small part by me thick-skinnedly asking for a packet haha.. she also supplied me the aforementioned instant noodles.. before you tut it's a fair exchange k! i gave her muchos packs of milo, so there
and as a bonus, since this is the first of the sorta,-no-actually-not-really,-ode-s to 365, this is the 12pack yoghurt i bought! there you can kinda sorta see the 365 label, and yep i wiped out 7 of 'em alr haha.. and it's good too! peach (not in pic), pear, cherry, strawberry (smells good and tastes like strawberry milk when mixed with milk.. but d'oh right haha), forest fruit and exotic fruit.. i think my fave is exotic, though they're all good.. exotic's i think pineapple, passionfruit, mango.. at least that's what the picture shows, and was expecting it to taste funny but it was good! to me at least
