>>212445087 (OP)

heres an authentic parmesan on the cheaper side

still it is 200 grams for 6 euros

and this is is the shitty parmesan that the italians dont want to eat themselves so they export it to us just like they do with their le authentic italian tomatoes

>>212445186
no it doesn't. you can buy parmesan in lidl dummy that's what I do.

>>212445087 (OP)
Same for me with an asian cockbook, gonna make a list of the most regular stuff needed and order online

>>212445186
cheesemakers in Emilia-Romagna don't want you to know this but American parmesan mogs their tasteless crap

>>212445555
checked
dont compare your med lidl to our norf lidl

>>212445564
i have found asian food to be really cheap THOUGH
at least the pork based asian food

bro just throw in a can of this with some minced beef/pork and herbs and you're good

>>212445186
>not weird shit like squid

wtf...

every fish section at every supermarket here has squid, octopus and cuttlefish for sale.

>>212445186
just get frozen squid and thaw it in the fridge

>>212445851
Eating squid and octopus is wrong

>>212445931
Why

>>212445940
they're slimy and scary, Lovecraft wrote a story about it

>>212445931
squids are dumb as bricks and there are literally trillions of octopi who cares

>>212445940
they're too funny to be eaten

Just chop celery+carrot+onion+garlic (if you want
And do stuff with it, like cook a meat roast in the soffritto and throw some white wine in it to make a sauce

>>212445931
you don't have to convince me, I don't like either.

>>212445969
They're not slimy, they are slippery
>>212445981
Never heard them talking

>>212445998
This is just all of European cooking though tbqhwy, just with different liquids

>>212445940
Far too intelligent to be treated as regular "fish"

>>212446094
Yes, he wanted an italian recipe so I gave it to him lol. I forgot the olive oil, but in northern italy butter was used too instead
>>212446103
Oh nous not le heckin squiderinos lives.. they had a family and a career and dreams...

>>212445087 (OP)
Those are normal things to buy in Italy, so it fits the normal (italian) household tag.
They should make an international edition for the rest of europe with some possible substitutions.

>>212446103
and I'm far too intelligent to eat beans for breakfast

>>212445087 (OP)
>500g of fresh squid
ummm at the market??? doesnt sweden have sea access and fishing????

but yes the truth is if your local supermarket doesnt have italian traditional cheeses and cured meats youre screwed. any big supermarket should have these tho.

>>212446547
don't have that kind of fish here on the regular.
we get norwegian slopfed salmon and cod, zigger and polonised herring and some smoked mackrel

I don't eat fish that comes from the polish russian poop lake, the only fish I eat on the regular is that shitty norwegian slop

they fucking ruined fishing.

>>212446632
get it frozen they just thaw it before putting it out anyway may as well do it yourself for free

>>212446755
not interested. I eat it when I got to my med house.

>>212446785
then why are you complaining

>>212446847
just making conversation

>>212446632
we buy shitloads of cod from iceland and norway. it's a national dish. several actually.

>>212447091
>falling for their scam

>>212445540
buy bigger packages, parmesan will last a long time anyway. but you won't get it for cheaper than 250kr/kg

>>212445658
Simple as

>>212445087 (OP)
None of that stuff is exotic
