Tesco lunch in America
As of a few days ago I'm no longer missing Tesco (and Sainsbury's) quite as much. What I missed so much were the white sandwich rolls with cornmeal and their German (or Italian) salami. I couldn't find these anywhere in Norman. But a few days ago I discovered that Wal-Mart sells "European sandwich rolls" in the deli section.But Wal-Mart doesn't have anything resembling the salami at Tesco. Albertson's has "Genova salami", which is pretty similar, but they don't have European sandwich rolls. If I go to both Wal-Mart and Albertsons I can have something very similar to my favorite Tesco lunch in the UK. But it takes a long time and costs more than the real Tesco.
It's more evidence that living as a British person in America is possible but expensive and inconvenient, just as living as an American in Britain is possible but expensive and inconvenient.
By the way, the packaging for the "European" rolls is very authentic. No twisty tie, just a little piece of tape!! (see Day 29)

just FYI: some movie critic at the BBC said the The DaVinci Code is one of the "dullest" movies of the year
You mean Genoa salami ? There is o hawk on my car !
Hmm, maybe it is Genoa. But when I was there a few months ago they called it "Genova". By the way, Genova (or Genoa, whatever) is one of the dirtiest cities I've ever been to. It's not exactly the kind of place where I'd want my food made. But it's good stuff anyway.
