Re: [Leica] Autumn colors in Sweden

Here in the US of A, our Euro-style products are
mostly made in China too.

I like IKEA's cafe': It's kind of healthy, but they
don't hit you over the head about it, and no one there
attempts unnatural acts with tofu. The closest
homegrown alternative that we have to IKEA might be
Target. Target also has a hot food department: I once
bought a hot dog there; the woman behind the counter
assured me it was fresh, and in geological terms, I
suppose it was. When I bit into one end of the bun,
the sausage squirted out the other end and skidded
across the floor and wound up in some dark recess of
the store, like a scene from Alien. The overall dining
experience was less-satisfying than Ikea's, but more
enjoyable than "reality TV".
