Skip to main content[EUROPEAN, SWEETS] "Hello, nice lady!!!" shouts Muhamed Mujcic-Mufko, half-buried behind a waist-high wall of Kinder eggs, marzipan logs, Finnish licorice (salted and unsalted), chocolate bunnies and Haribo gummies. Just call the white-haired Bosnian gent Southeast Portland's "candy man"—his inexpensive Euro shop stocks 350 kinds of sweet stuff, including Milka and Lindt chocolate bars. Savory-minded shoppers gravitate toward Burek brand leek-and-cheese pies, hard sausages and hot ajvar pepper relishes, plus tons of medicinal teas and Serbian Kiseljak mineral water to sip after stuffing yourself with sweets.
Grocery list: Candy cigarettes (!), weird meat pâtés and Ritter Sport squares, a lunch order of Bosnian lamb and beef cevapi ($8.50).
