| - I drove past today, pulled a screechin' u-turn, and excitedly headed into this brand-spankin' new Eastern European market.
I was pleased to find the store had a solid offering of Eastern European and Russian foods. I am not ashamed to admit that I am a Eastern European food addict.
Lucky for me, this place has the largest deli selection of any Eastern European store in Las Vegas. The refrigerated cases have dozens of meats, salamis, sausages, cheeses, and salads. They also offer a produce section that is refrigerated -- also a first for Las Vegas Eastern European stores (that I've seen). They also offer baked goods from the awesome Natalia's Bakery located on Rainbow.
The packaged foods seemed mostly targeted to Russians, Bulgarians, and Hungarians. I did see some familiar Polish stuff like Delicje and other Polish candies. I was pleasantly surprised to find some frozen vareniki and pelmeni that I hope to try in the future. And, dude, they have Dadu ice cream! DADU!! It's the small things like this in life that make me happy.
The shelves were a little bare in some places and I hope they fill them out soon with a bit more variety of packaged goods. I'm excited by their potential but, unfortunately, they don't offer many of my "can't-live-withouts." I'll definitely be back to score some Dadu and to check out their progress. Just keep opening the Euro markets and I'll keep shopping!
