Things I miss…

How do you buy your juice? In the US my juice choice is frozen concentrated. Stores easily in the freezer, mixes up quickly and is very cost efficient. Alas, there is no frozen juice to be found here. So, the next best thing is boxed juice. Doesn’t require refrigeration until it is opened. Tastes okay. Not especially cost efficient though. Some of the boxes are hard to open and others don’t pour very well. It’s misery to buy enough juice for our family. Add the weight of 10 1 litre boxes of juice to a trolley and it becomes almost impossible to maneuver.

There is also different juice terminology here. In the US we have “with pulp”, “extra pulp” or “pulp free”. Here it is either “with bits” or “smooth”. Most of the same types of juice are here though: apple, orange, grapefruit, cranberry, cherry and tomato. The main brands are Del Monte, Libby’s and Ocean Spray. Plus the store brand.
