I had almost forgotten I had a blog and a few days ago, a friend of mine reminded me of it. So I thought it would be nice to start this blog again. It was not easy to find a topic to write on,
provided that I will not summarize all the months where I have not written anything. Some souvenirs will probably appear here and there in the next few weeks.
So back to our topic, I decided to speak about another difference between the French and the German, which I find quite funny. When I go to the french supermarket, to the yoghourt section, the
section takes about 25% of the whole shop space. There you can find of course all the desserts, entremets, mousse au chocolat, etc etc, but even if you take only the yoghourts into acount, the
selection is huge. White yoghourt, fromage blanc, faisselle, creamy yoghourt, less creamy yoghourt, and, above all, you can find any taste you can dream about: rapserry, lemon, mirabels, apple,
pear, ananas, and so on. And you even have the choice between dozens of brands. The yoghourt paradise it is.
Let us now enter a German average supermarket and go to the yoghourt section. The white yoghourt selection is about ok. But:
- Most of the yoghourts are 150g. It is a lot
- Yoghourts have more calories than in France. yes, even the light one
So more calories + bigger = German like it fat ;-)
Forget desserts, if you are lucky you will find a mousse au chocolat and a liegois, and that is about it. But the depressing part is the fruit yoghourt ones. To make it short, in Germany, you'd
better like strawberry, Peach/passion fruit or vanilla. Because that is all you can get in an average supermarket. No kidding.
Life is hard for yoghourt lovers in Germany. The only solution? Buy nature yoghourt and jam, and mix the whole...
