Surviving The Italian Grocery Store

I FOUND PEANUT BUTTER!  
It was in the "exotic" section next to coconut milk and soy sauce.

The name has a certain ring to it, I think it makes you poop.

Canada export!  This flour is apparently "ideal for pizza".

I already find it weird that Italian keep their eggs on shelves at room temperature, but they are also selling Quail eggs, what's next robin eggs?

Gelato!



She takes too long.
