The supermarkets in sweden are called ICA and coop. ICA is in no way affiliated with the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.
Yeah, so today, just now, we went to ICA and they were giving away so many free samples of grub. It must be free sample fursday or something. I had some goulash, some Pucko chocolate milk, some thai style rice and chicken thing, and some kind of rice with a creamy sausagey sauce. It was lovely. It was great, I would ask them in my best schoolboy Swedish, "Hej, kan jag prova det?" - "Hey can I try that?"
"MMmmm det smaka god!" - "MMmmm that tastes good!".
ALSO!
I watched this episode of the Simpsons today:
Which I had completely forgotten about, and which is in my opinion one of the all time classics.
From Series 3!

ICA related footnote
The real ICA in london just got a mention in the book I am reading, London Fields by Martin Amis. It is sited as being one of the places in london one of the characters goes to to pick up celebrities. Maybe in the eighties Martin! haha
We have a tasting for a wedding going on here at the moment. 5 canapes, 3 starters 3 mains.
ReplyDeleteCarolina the waitress and I have decide we would not choose any of the food on offer.
Roast lamb She would not eat it and has never tried it because it is too pretty.
Red Mullet I gave the same reasons
Pumpkin Risotto which we both agreed was too disgusting, and something you would eat in a cafe with a spoon.
So, off you go then!
now now, the butler from Fresh Prince of Bel Air was in a while ago.
