Spent the afternoon at Metro, and seems they are adding some new stock lately. It’s a real pain to get to, and their prices aren’t always the best, but they do have by far the largest stock of imported food stuffs in Nanjing. Also, if you go during the week, the place is especially dead, it’s almost worth the trip just to shop in wide aisled peace and quiet!

Feta, Sour Cream, etc. The selection seems to grow every time I go in.

People overseas get a laugh when I tell them I usually buy my Bleu Cheese from Ikea, but looks like I may have to either give that up or blatantly lie as the prices seem better at Metro.

Decent selection of wines under ~70RMB, but have had some real horrible stuff. Have been meaning to start keeping a record of what I’ve tried….

Ton of wine and large liquor selection behind that.

First time I’ve noticed, but they now have TimTams. For those uninitiated, these are disgustingly(or deliciously) sweet chocolate covered wafer type cookies that are originally from Australia. Seriously one of the most intensely sweet things I’ve ever eaten.
