While food shopping this afternoon, I have to admit that I had a bit of a sticker shock after I noticed Caprice des Dieux (Caprice of the Gods) in the Cheese Display.
I felt a pang of nostalgia as it was one of my mother's picks when I was growing up in France.
That was until I noticed the price: $9.99.
I ended up leaving the memories behind even though a Caprice is an impulsive decision.
Another Consumed to Thrifty moment when I fell victim to both food price inflation and the weak dollar.
I learned from Caprice des Dieux official site (French only) that we share the same birth year.
On the original packaging, the Greek Gods of Sky and Sea, Zeus and Poseidon stood on each side of 'Caprice', the God of Cheese...For many years now they have been replaced by angels.
Oh!Well, maybe I will wait until I visit France to taste it again.
