Season Hunt -- Meetup with Sweets & Gifts
My post goes for #SeasonHunt challenge by @barbara-orenya. The week theme was 'Sweets + Gifts' -- an excellent prompt, except of it is two immense themes at once! and even a dozen posts would be not enough to cover them... ( NB: you may check my previous #seasonhunting posts in 2021 here. )
Those weighty Belarusian sweets are the size of 1/3 of my palm! they are chocolate, stuffed with waffles and cranberry puree - very tasty, although I prefer sweets to be smaller ... Most importantly, they look luxurious inside a large bag of sweets, like the sun inside the solar system with heaps of small planets in addition. Very convincing product!
Увесистые белорусские конфеты размером с треть моей ладони! они шоколадные, с начинкой из клюквенного пюре и вафель - весьма вкусно, хотя я предпочитаю изделия поменьше... а главное, они роскошно смотрятся внутри большого пакета с конфетками, как солнце внутри солнечной системы с кучек мелких планеток вдобавок.
Caramel with strawberry flavor - always adorable, classic!
Карамель с клубничным вкусом. Обожаю! Классика.
These little ones ... no, tiny!! panda candies are not the tastiest, but definitely among the most stylish.. and they are impossible to pass by indifferently.
Эти маленькие... нет, крошечные! конфетки в виде панды - не самые вкусные, но определенно самые стильные! тоже невозможно равнодушно пройти мимо.
Chupa Chups lollipops - photographed with one hand!
Чупа-чупс, леденцы на палочке - сфотографировано одной рукой!
"Rafaello" sweets with coconut flakes - they are delicious, perfect, immaculate and appealing, but the price tag of $30 per 1 kg always scares me off - I prefer not to buy them myself, but to receive as a gift.
Конфетки "Рафаэлло" с кокосовой стружкой - они прекрасны, но ценник в 30 долларов на 1кг к сожалению меня отпугивает - я предпочитаю не покупать их сам, а получать в подарок.
Tell me who doesn't like chocolate?! Everyone loves chocolate! It is the reason why as many as three big shelves in the store are reserved for chocolate alone (speaking about the chocolate bars; chocolate candies stand in common orders). The usual price is $1-2 for a 100 gram bar.
Скажите мне, кто не любит шоколад?! Все любят шоколад! Именно по этой причине, целых три стеллажа в магазине отведены под один только шоколад (в виде плиток, а конфеты - это отдельный разговор). Обычная цена - 1-2 доллара за 100-граммовую плитку.
My wife prefers chocolates with large hazelnuts, like those Ritter bars; as for me... I like ... all of them :))))))) but most of all, perhaps, I prefer almonds and orange zest.
Моя жена предпочитает шоколад с крупными орешками фундука, как в этих плиточках от Ritter; а мне нравится... почти всё из этого :))))))) но больше всего, пожалуй, я предпочитаю миндаль и апельсиновую цедру.
I also adore marzipan, in any form, including chocolate candies ... but "in its pure form" even better - the more the better!
Я также обожаю марципан, в любом виде... в том числе и внутри шоколадок... но лучше "в чистом виде" - чем больше тем лучше!
This time I bought two chocolates to pamper my beloved women (they still have teeth... yet )))) - my wife received one with orange's oil (well, I also wanted to reward myself, to test it... you guessed it right!)
В этот раз я купил две шоколадки, побаловать моих любимых женщин (у них пока еще остались зубы )))) - для жены с апельсиновым маслом (да, я хотел побаловать еще и себя, вы правильно догадались!)...
...and one for my daughter - a strange chocolate with the taste of bubble gum (!?? I don't know, don't ask me what it is, I haven't tried it... but I think it's an ordinary chocolate, they just exploit the adherence of poor children to beautiful packaging with recognizable and beloved cartoon characters ...)
...и для моей дочки -- странную шоколадку со вкусом жвачки (???? не знаю, не спрашивайте меня что это такое, я не пробовал ее... но думаю что это обычный шоколад, просто эксплуатируют приверженность бедных деток к красивой упаковке с узнаваемыми мульт-персонажами...)
Everyone knows about 'Kinder-surprise' eggs, especially children - kidz are great experts, connoisseurs and collectors in this field. Fortunately, my babygirl has already entered the teen age and she does not need to be entertained with such kind of toys, plain chocolate is just enough to lure her :))) Therefore, I did not touch these eggs, but only took pics.
Все знают про киндер-сюрпризы, особенно дети - дети большие эксперты, ценители и коллекционеры в этой области. К счастью, мой ребенок уже вошел в возраст тинейджера и его не нужно развлекать такого сорта игрушками, просто шоколада ему хватает :))) Поэтому эти яйца я не трогал, а только сфотографировал.
The store offers a solid stock of this product.
Запасы этого продукта в магазине солидны...
This is how one of the shelves looks like - a candy trap with a height of seven three-meter rows. This concludes our joint excursion to the sweets department. But the topic of gifts remained uncovered ...
Так выглядит один из стеллажей -- конфетная ловушка высотой в семь трехметровых рядов. На этом наша совместная экскурсия в отдел сластей подошла к концу. Но тема подарков осталась не раскрытой...
Ok, one cannot fit the unfittable, so this pleasurable stuff will go for my next post.
Sadly, I finished my blog too late to enter into the contest and draw... taking the pictures (and editing them) were became a separate particular challenge to me, due to the immense size of the prompt! Ok, it will go then for the love of the game. Besides that, my luck probably will not let me slip into the winners short-list :P
Ok. I could not but mention that I used #marketfriday tag on the post -- the thing I rarely afford, tho I love, love this fun challenge run by @dswigle! You may use it too, whenever you deal with nice shopping or visiting stores and bazaars and exploring intresting goods. Not necessarily on Friday.
It does feels good! I am happy to enter it finally again. An extra nice thing to combine together a few challenges in one post. I love this tricky fun the more, the less it becomes possible with all the system of specialized / dedicated niche communities.

Вот такие мишки часто попадаются в подарках что на третьем фото) а вообще сейчас сложно в доме укрыться от атомных коробок с конфетами в подарках. Точно будем кушать до марта 😂
ну, это же здорово! Они маленькие, купить много "на вес" и рассовать понемного в подарочные наборы - так сказать, для вящего разнообразия букета? меня такое всегда радует, люблю разнообразие и сюрпризность. а пакет чего-то любимого, в чистом виде (с марципаном к примеру) я могу и так себе купить, спецом =)
мы до марта точно не протянем... у дочки колоссальная пропускная способность, хихи :)))) кушает и заместо завтрака, и ужина тоже ...
могу угостить вас ответно -- горячая !PIZZA

I think those eggs with the toys in them are banned here because they think kids will gulp the whole thing down and choke on the toy. One of my coworkers from Russia always talked about how he missed those chocolate eggs.
They allow them now, but, Kindereggs has revamped their prizes. Tell your friend he can get them now.
My kids love them!
I bet the prizes are gummies instead of plastic toys now.
Im wrong. The dont have kinder eggs, but kinder joy! The prizes are different and my kids said they are not the same at all.
You are right.
I also like those chocolates with large hazelnuts very tasty.
not as tasty as a good cheese !PIZZA 😁
but still!!

thank you a lot, manual curation is much appreciated.
Я не люблю шоколад. И всё, что с какао, тоже. Вот неприятен мне этот вкус, почему-то. Кофе тоже не люблю. Ага, загадка природы :)
ыыы, вопрос был риторический; но я учту, если когда-нибудь доведется выбирать вам в подарок коробку конфеток

Yehaaaaa @qwerrie 😊👍
😄 Isn't it the aim of a challenge to be challenging ? 😆 Challenging your capacity to face two themes in a post, and also to be on time, my friend..? 😁
Well, as I am the Queen in my Kingdom, I have decided to include you in the draw, just because I enjoy it...LoL... Good luck for the draw @qwerrie , though I already know if you are among the winners as I made the draw and finished my post just a few minutes ago...I think I will wait an hour before publishing 😉
I like all the tints in this mix... i.e. these tints made the mix beautiful for me: topic itself, challenge, fun, and technical side of the images... hmmm, timing... it is a part of it, right. I dont think of in ... it is in the last line in my list, due to that sometimes I am late 😁
I am glad you like my visuals.
here goes !PIZZA, a lot of pizza - our family decided to have a lazy pizza day today!
А мне нравились эти маленькие панды. Как-от меня угощали такими конфетами девчонки.
угу. лизнул - и как ничего не было! надо тогда две пригоршни класть, и то будет мало :)))
пысы. твои девченки угощали, из своих подарков? это хорошо что делятся, не зажимают. 💕
Офигеть! Никогда не видела Ritter Sport с названием по-русски, красотища, но как-то очень не привычно.
Конфетки в виде панды - это тоже не видели еще.
ну, рынок большой -- делают. эх, чего только не делают... мне тоже непривычно многое по-русски читать... например, менюшки в фотошопе :))))))
PS. а сколько 100-гр плитка стоит в аглицком шопе?
В зависимости от сорта, от £1-1.50 (102.53-153.79). Как-то так...
Для примера, с марцепаном стоит 102.53.
the food is very delicious, it's delicious, my friend and very interesting, I like it
Well, being second still feels good! :) This was a post filled with all kinds of sweet deliciousness! I love to look at it and those hazelnut candies. Oh, you are killing me! Do you know I never eat candy!? But, looking at it makes me want to dive right into the middle.
You are very talented with the one hand. :) A wonderful post just filled to the brim! What can you possibly do for an encore??T Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday! I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see so many participating every week. I have learned so much about the different cultures of the world, especially the small things that go unnoticed except by those looking for it. Life is interesting, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. I hope the New Year finds you healthy and happy, as we all look to prosper in our way of life.
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
