Glad to read it's limited! Hopefully to one for the photo.

I'm more wondering why I have to stand in a cool place for half an hour. I have air conditioning!

I'm saying nothing.

I'm a big horse fan, but do think donkey is better!

It’s so exciting to cook & do dishes right in the open with a wonderful view. Tonight I have promised Ted some Aunt Jemima pancakes and bacon, blueberry pancakes with what we have left over in the way of berries from what the deer ate yesterday. July 7th 1959.

I see it's published by Penguin Books, the company which first popularised paperback books in 1935. They are worldwide. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't available most places.

This is a great food and travel blog. Thanks. Once I was able to say I'd visited every country in Europe except Iceland. I still haven't visited, but some of the countries I visited have split up and formed new ones. For example, although I've visited Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic, I haven't visited Slovakia (as it didn't exist then as an independent state). Ditto Yugoslavia. @TdeVRe: Cod Liver Oil. I too was brought up on this concoction. It was dispensed free of charge in the UK to all children under a certain age as a vitamin D supplement to aid in preventing rickets. I don't remember hating it, though.

Growing up in rural Scotland in the 1950s, we drank water from the local streams all the time. Not sure if I would now, though.

Yeah. I'm fine too. I am convinced 99% of trad Chinese medicine is total nonsense. But I enjoyed my soup. Twice!

It is alleged to be a general restorative. Often prescribed for colds and chills.

No it bloody shouldn't! I like a good chilli, but ain't eating that muck! 🤣

The weather recently has been crap for me, but perfect for the 荔枝 (lì zhī) litchee or lychee harvest. Hot but very wet. I've been pigging out this evening on beautiful fresh lychees picked from the tree around noon! I'm like an example of Sus domesticus in its own excrement!

Definitely

I've just found my nearest Aldi store. Unfortunately it is 897 miles / 1444 kilometers away. It took me two minutes online to locate it. The USA stores are here.

I'd just add that supermarket leaflets here don't carry addresses or maps, either. It's not just Aldi.

As I've said before, they are mainly advertising products to an existing customer base which knows where the stores are. They will also pick up new customers - it's not so difficult to find the stores!

That would cost even more.

of the USA?

Bud light is beer?

How do you get over 2000 locations into ½ a page? They are advertising to people who, in the majority, know the location or can easily find out. Products are what they are selling. Not directions.
