Baking Products
- Baking Powder and Soda
- Chocolate Chips
- Crisco/Vegetable Shortening
- Vanilla
- Graham crackers
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.
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.
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.
You can find real vanilla extract (the vanilla aroma sold at grocery stores is NOT the same, in my opinion) and artificial vanilla extract at El Maiz Mexican store, Josefstrasse 23 in Zurich. Homepage. [at]
Beverages
- Erdinger Dunkel Weizen
- Vanilla
There's a shop in the Hauptbahnhof - "Beers of the World" or something like that - that carries Erdinger Dunkel.
Condiments
- Maple Syrup
- Peanut Butter
- Vegemite & Other Aussie Stuff
Also at Coop and at Migros.
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.
Try the aussie shop
Snacks
- "American Style Candies"
- Popcorn</li> Migros and Coop both sell it in unpopped form. Look for bags with American Flag or Statue of Liberty motifs.
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.
