Hey, that's important stuff right there!
I think the problem comes in part due to the fact that Americans have become one-stop shoppers... stores like Target, CostCo, etc that are enormous, and sell everything under the sun. Here you have to find a special shop for every stupid thing. I think I am going to just buy everything online -- I hate shopping.
Thanks to TT, while I didn't find vanilla extract at the grocery store (as you would in the States), I found a vanilla bean and a small bottle of grappa, and I'll be making my own. great idea! Keep up the good work, folks.
So what is the TT equivalent for Germans? Is there an online forum in German, for Germans, about where to get stuff in Germany? Do let us know; maybe it's more friendly there.
