It always amuses me when an advertisement for a product emphasizes the absence of sugar and presents this as a huge selling point.

Blueberries. A Quintessentially English Berry?
I can’t, of course, claim that this is strictly a British berry, but the fact that this round, delicious berry is sold in vast quantities here—unlike in Ukraine—is undeniable. The price, of course, isn’t cheap, but it’s still far more reasonable than in our country. Of course, blueberries don’t grow just anywhere here, like blackberries … Continue reading Blueberries.

❣️ A Refined Delicacy
The other day, I decided to splurge and buy some red caviar for the New Year’s table at a Polish shop in Plymouth. The price was quite steep, of course — £15 for a 50-gram jar. In Ukraine, a similar jar cost about 150 hryvnias three years ago. And even if we convert that amount … Continue reading ❣️ A Refined Delicacy
