Mexican week by Lidl!

Mexican week by the Lidl grocery store has come and gone. As I wrote before, German grocery stores have ethnic weeks during which they sell items they don't normally stock. I was looking forward to this week with great anticipation. If there's any food I miss, it's Mexican food.

I waited to be able to stock up on tomatillos, salsa verde, fresh jalapenos and serrano chiles, refried beans, black beans, corn tortillas, etc., etc., and etc. Much to my dismay what was on offer was not so grand. Most of it was different spice packages for things like tacos or fajitas. They did have different tortillas on sale, but alas no corn and no refried beans! There also were hard taco shells, tortilla chips and salsa.
