A new shop opened its doors in my neighbourhood; a shop that specializes in Polish delicacies, such as bread, pastries, candy, chocolate, beer, liquor, meat products and such. The owner spread a flyer announcing the shop, inviting people to come and have a look, and if you fill out the coupon, you'll get a Schlesian sausage and you enter a raffle.
Now here is the good part.
In this day and age, you grow accustomed to big festivals with fabulous prizes; all you have to do is call a number, give them your details, finish a slogan and off you go; eligible for a flatscreen TV and whatnot.
This shop (as most starting shops) doesn't really have money for that kind of thing, so they have something different as a prize. The main prize for this raffle is... 5 meters of Krakau sausage. :)
Part of me would rather have a flatscreen TV, but it's really nice to see that not all is lost and that something simple as a sausage can be a first prize as well.
Cheers, K.

Dude! Who would say no to five meters of sausage?! I know I sure as hell wouldn't :D
I love these shops specialising in local delicacies, I really do. I wish we had more of them where I live. Or maybe I just need to start looking around a little bit since it _is_ Utrecht. I cannot imagine Utrecht not having stores like that...
/me pulls out the yellow pages.

Was the Schlesian sausage any good?

Don't know; I didn't get around to actually visit the shop yet. But if I do before Saturday (when the coupon runs out), I'll let you know. ;)
