Where can I find... Marmite, baking soda, yeast, Vegemite, peanut butter, popcorn, maple syrup, grape jelly, Cheerios, and so on? Put answers to these and similar questions below...


    Baking Products
  • Baking Powder and Soda
  • Baking powder is found in the baking needs section of most grocery stores in packets labeled Backpulver.

    Baking soda must be gotten from a pharmacy. Call it sodium bicarbonate. I cannot speak to its etibility but I wouldn't sweat it.

  • Chocolate Chips
  • Found in the baking needs area labeled Schokoladewürfeli or Backschokolade-Würfel. Not the same shape as in the USA but rather as cubes or rectangular prisms. They do the trick though and are actually made of better chocolate than in the States not surprisingly.

  • Crisco/Vegetable Shortening
  • Vanilla
  • Vanilla is available here in dried sticks and liquid. Found in the baking needs area of a grocery the liquid is available in packets labeled Bourbon-Vanille Aroma.


    Beverages

  • Erdinger Dunkel Weizen
  • There's a shop in the Hauptbahnhof - "Beers of the World" or something like that - that carries Erdinger Dunkel.


    Condiments

  • Maple Syrup
  • Also at Coop

  • Peanut Butter
  • At Migros, Coop, Globus and other big grocery stores. I've tried the Coop Crunchy and it tastes pretty authentic. Only comes in a 300g Jar though. There's a health food store at the main train station which apparently sells larger sized Bio quality peanut butter.

    Having done the independent PeanutButter tastetest, I have to admit the coop one is better. The health food store one is sweeter and not crunchy at all.

  • Vegemite & Other Aussie Stuff
  • Try the aussie shop


    Snacks

  • "American Style Candies"
  • Some stores suggested to the group: Kids Town on Bahnhofstrasse, The Lollipop Shop in the Hauptbahnhof and the Flughafen, Cindy's Diner on the Motorway south of Zurich, Globus, and Franz Carl Weber. The largest selection is reputedly at the Lollipop Shop.

  • Popcorn</li> Migros and Coop both sell it in unpopped form. Look for bags with American Flag or Statue of Liberty motifs.
