Stopped by the local neighborhood supermarket this afternoon to pickup a few goodies for New Years. This supermarket is called "Seven Continnents" a very populat supermarket chain here in Moscow that stays open 24 hours a day. Very handy for stopping by on my way home from work and picking up a cool one or two. Glad it is close to my apartment. I had took my camera with me hoping to see something interesting on my way home, but there was a snow storm with lightening this afternoon, so I did not tray and take my camera out from under my coat. But when i stopped at the supermarket, I thought what the heck, maybe some here would be interested in seeing what a Moscow Supermarket looks like, so I played spy, had my camera strap around my nexk, with my camera hanging at waist level, then I snapped a photo every now and then while shopping. I think I'm getting pretty good at this because the photos all came out pretty good I think. Not perfect, but pretty darn good, my old S5500 is still kicking butt.

this is the veg and freash fruit section, have to make sure and pick up some blackeyed peas.
walking over toward the fish section, what do I see, of course, some Miller Beer, I wonder if it was brewed in my hometown?
looking back at the veg and freash fruit section, to make sure I haven't forgotten any thing
anybody want to try a carp?
Where's the Tabasco sauce for some Louisanna style crawdads, yes they do have Tabasco sauce here, bought some for teh blackeyed peas
the fish section, look in the center, that is what I'm buying caviar, the red caviar comes from salmon and is very good, not as good as black caviar, but still very good.
walking past the meat section, want to pick up some ground beef
I love cheese, so I'll be picking up a couple of blocks of cheese for New Years
now we're talking, this is the Russian beer lane
here's what I'm looking for
getting closer to what I'm looking for, Siberian Crown, my favorite Russian Beer
third row from the bottom at the complete right, Siberian Crown, very good beer and a strong beer
imported beer section, boy do they come in fancy containers, notice the Budweiser beer, this is a Chech beer, not the US Budweiser, surprised teh heck out of me because back home I always drank Budweiser "The King of Beers"
going down the wine section, never cared much for wine, but the ladies like it, so I'll have to get a bottle or two.
Russian Vodka lane, just about every type of vodka there is, even vodka with hot chille peppers or vodka with honey. Russian vodka is not that strong to me, not like the old Viking Vodka that used to be made in my home town, one sip and you'll fall over.
just walking toward the bread section
passing by the dairy section
pickled mushrooms, very good, had to grab a jar for New Years
still walking toward the bread lane
walking past the dairy section again
No need for sauages, I already picked up a pepperoni and salami for New Years, the pepperoni is covered in onions, garlic and peppers of all types, very tasty
lost in a book, I never see a people that love to read as much as Russians do, they all love to read. I guess that is why most of them are so smart.
doing a little Christmas shopping, in Russia, Christmas comes on Jan. 14, as the orignal Christmas was held a long time ago.
somebody looking for their favorite beer?
Miller is very popular here and expensive since it is imported, the price per bottle is around $1.20, Russian beer is half that price
the bread section at last, I will get some freash bread for the cheese and caviar, plus some Ritz crackers and Saltins
all the store workers are wearing Santa hats
Time to go, checking out.

Like caviar, beer and vodka. Speaking of vodka, do they still make your hometown vodka? I did a Google on it, but only Viking Fjord Vodka popped up, which is made in Norway. If they still do let me know (please).
