YESSSS! The GS supermarket in Trastevere (on Via Tavolacci #1) now sells Oreo cookies, or as they say in Italian: biscotti snack al cacao! They're even reasonably priced compared to Castroni. Now I know where to go when I get my Oreo cravings... yum!
Another great place for American junk food is Blockbuster videos... I used to take my kids there to get Oreos and gummy bears. They even had real jelly bellies!
Yeah, I used to go there too until they closed down! I'm not sure if just the one in my 'hood went under or if all blockbusters in rome did. we even had dunkin donuts for a few years in rome- ahhh, the fond memories (=
nope, I can confirm that the blockbuster in my neighborhood is still up and thriving (balduina)...cars double parked all the time outside..day and night
we've found them here too at the local super super market, even though for about six months the only place i could ever find them was at, of all places--Blockbusters. That's where I get my el paso mexican salsa too, for some reason. Long live Italian grocery store/video rentals!
My love affair with Rome began over 15 years ago when I moved here... and as often happens with love affairs, the honeymoon is over! This blog is all about my love/hate relationship with Rome and Italy.
