Disappointing grocery store experience

We stopped by the grocery store in Copenhagen to find (a less expensive) dinner last night.  The displays looked like the store had had a rather hectic day, bins with random food items here and there, picked over 'sale' racks, etc.  I was very disappointed by the food options.  The very handy single serve, to go (or 'take away') foods that we had found elsewhere are clearly not as popular in Copenhagen as elsewhere.  

Danes obviously have very different food tastes as well.  The cheese and fish sections were well stocked, but the cracker and chocolate sections were very unremarkable.  Snickers and Twix bars were abundant, but there were only a handful of other chocolate choices.  Two were Danish and one was German.  We got both to sample.  The German mint chocolate bar was very good!



There are a suprising number of 'Chinese' food places here, and lots of South and Southeast asian foods in the store. "Thai Cube" brand.

Not a lot of chocolate options.  I wasn't about to spend money on snickers or twix.

German mint chocolate was good.
 (I like the Danish word:  Pebermynte)
