I was the happiest of girls when we moved to Berlin and realised we can get most things here that we missed in Ireland, like rhye bread and salty licorice – aka salmiakki. Different types of "Finnish Bröt" can be found in most shops; Netto, Lidl, Kaiser... And it tastes just like at home. Our most regular sweets-supplier is a shop called Bärenland on Schönhauser Allee. They sell Swedish, Finnish and Danish sweets, and recently started selling gelatin free fruit gums too!

ReplyDeleteHow long have u been here now? I read your blog too, tried to comment on your Lidl-nordic-purcases – we were there too, it was sooooo good :) The 'varrasleipä' is almost gone, now... But luckily we have found 'hapankorppuja', so we're all good!
