I'm always remarking about how small European refrigerators (and washing machines) are to anyone who will listen. I dream of visiting all the specialty gourmet food stores, but alas, I'm here in California making Trader Joe's hauls. But I've still resisted the Costco membership, two kids in!
For whatever reason the most jarring thing for me when I return from Europe specifically is I find the produce everywhere (stores, restaurants, etc) just much better in Europe than the produce we have here in the states. Even the veggies at some cheap restaurant in Europe are generally better than whatever we can buy in the highest end organic grocer here.

love this one!!! "It feels like a treat, not a chore." Moi aussi! I feel the exact same way. Love shopping for food over here... daily! ;) xxo

Yes! It’s really jarring. Even the non-organic stuff in Europe feels better than a lot of the organic options back home.
What an adventure! I love a multi-stop grocery mission.
