The challenge was "Could you please find me bottled cherries?"
Mission impossible???
We are in Rome. March 2010. deadline in 5 days.
I first checked the local supermarkets. Nothing... italians don't eat conserved fruits. You can maybe find fruit salad, ananas or pears (not even peaches - NdA pour faire des pêches au thon :( . What about cherries?
I was more thinking about germans or nothern european countries. But it was not quite that... A rumanian friend told me that I should try the polish shop. So I asked my colleague if she could drop me off in Acilia (a suburb of Rome, 45 mins away from home, but don't worry I know the area as it is were is my church). I finally found a small busy shop held by two indians/bengalis (?) selling exoctic food and eastern european products... among all these shambles I could even get 3 jars of cherries in two varieties!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
