Pass the ethnic water, please

Yes, yes, pass the ethnic water, would you please?

The ethnic water.

What's wrong with you, you never heard of ethnic water? Why, expateek is shocked! Where have you been, under a rock?

It's in the aisle with the regular water and the Polish candy. You know, here:

Two aisles over from the Bulgarian food and the Polish food.

Three aisles from Hispanic.

There's more in the Hispanic aisle than spices and candles, believe expateek when she tells you so. But even looking at pictures of refried beans makes Mr D's tummy rumble, so in the interests of global planetary health and reducing gaseous emissions, expateek will spare us all that unnecessary pain.

Yes, ethnic water. Polish water. Shipped straight from Poland. Lovely green bottle, slightly peppery "nose" to it. Light carbonation. Fizzy, a bit. Just like expateek.

And then you can help expateek design a terrific dinner using these very important ingredients that she just had to buy the last time she went grocery shopping. Because life's just not worth living without marmalade and wasabi beans. And South African Mrs. Ball's chutney.

And while you're at it, what in the world is expateek supposed to do with these? They look kind of tasty in a prickly sort of way. Ideas, my friends?

And oh, since expateek's already spilled the beans about Mr D's delicate tummy, this post wouldn't be complete without a potty joke.

Here, come with expateek down the produce aisle, and tell her what you think of these.

Personally, expateek just loves yams.

But maybe not so much when they've got the word flush on the label. Ewwwww.
