It was close to Easter during my grandmother's funeral and there were a lot of Easter-related items like hot-crossed buns, chocolate eggs and rabbit-shaped caked. One of the items we got during our time in England was the Ferrero Rocher giant chocolate egg which was just as good as the gold Ferrero Rocher foil-covered balls. I have been looking for this giant egg every easter since then and even recruited my grandfather to see if the stores in England still had them, hoping to bring one home after my trip there. Sadly, he didn't see any and I guess people who bought it the year before knew how good it was and emptied the shelves.
I was looking at the Easter display in Cold Storage the other day and wondered if anyone would bring in the very same but only saw Cadbury and Lindt eggs on sale. Today seemed to be a lucky day as I needed some parsley for a kitchen experiment and Cold Storage was my best bet. I walked passed the Easter display and looked again with lots of hope and something caught my eye. As there were 2 undecided idiots blocking my view, I took a peek and realised it was a giant Kinder egg. That got me excited as well as I like my Kinder Bueno, but I had to move on as I was on a parsley mission.
I walked to get a basket and found bunny ears and a nose for the car, then got a good discounted pack of baked beef pies, found some interesting wasabi sprouts, finally found my parsley and then I saw no one blocking my way to the shelf of giant eggs. I got there, stared at the Kinder egg and contemplated taking it as a consolation. Then the hanging sign swung and I saw a glimmer of gold, turned my head and a choir began singing in my head. There, right at the top of the shelf, blocked slightly by the swinging sign, was the giant Ferrero Rocher egg. MY Giant Ferrero Rocher Egg!!
I was so happy I nearly cleared the whole shelf, but decided to leave one for some other lucky soul.
