At last we found a Dutch grocery store here in Edmonton. This one advertised in the Edmonton Journal, Emma found it, about their grand re-opening; Gouda cheese for only $1.00 per 100 grams. And indeed as we arrived all Gouda cheese was sold out due to high demand. But re-stock will be done by Thursday, the race is on. We purchased a nice chunk of Leerdammer (1 kg) for $25.00. Actually not that expensive I think, back in NL it is a pricy cheese too, right. We bought 3 jars of sambal, Atjar Tauge en several boemboes. Chocolate sprinkels were brought in by Joost and Eefje, 5 boxes, no need to buy it now. There are about 10 or 12 different brands of peanutbutter here in Canada but there is none that I like, so now I tried the AH (how and where DD purchases I don't know) sold at DD, still have to taste it. The best, in my opinion anyways, Dutch peanutbutter was sold by the Aldi; PCD for only 0.60 EURO, but they took that out of the range of products. Also a smoked mackerel ended up in our shopping cart with several other "we miss"-products. We brought with us "The Windmill Herald" , a bit colored church paper, where we read on the merger of Woudenberg, Scherpenzeel and Renswoude. Of all places...

By the way, of the 10-12 peanutbutter brands only Kraft Smooth tastes nice. All others were tried and disposed of. Some were really horrible.
Hebben jullie ook foto's? Ben wel benieuwd!
