One of the the things that I, rather unexpectedly, miss about Dar es Salaam is grocery shopping. Not for necessities really, but for the impulse buys. Packet of cashews, Haribo gummy cola bottles, delicious spicy cassava chips.
Tonight after wandering the aisles confused by the sheer selection of body lotions, as I was choosing between pumpkin seeds and sub-par gummy candy, I definitely had a pang of nostalgia for Shrijee's, my local crappy supermarket in Dar.
I'm thinking this might get better when I once again live in a place with a Trader Joe's, which always has superior snacks. Maybe. Maybe they'll start stocking spicy cassava chips.
