This is the pasta aisle where I found shapes of pasta I’d never seen before. They have all the bases covered.

It appears that Foghorn Leghorn is selling chicken stock these days.

This is the spice aisle where you can get lovely bags of various spices.

I’ve never seen such a large pat of butter before. (Five kilograms – That’s eleven pounds!)

Frozen chicken hearts – don’t they look appetizing?

And the true test – Kinder Eggs!

And this is only the grocery section which is one fourth of the store. There’s also a housewares section and a second floor filled with clothes and shoes for the whole family.
