I've only seen Lemon Aroma (available everywhere), but I'm pretty sure it's quite different from what Americans think of as lemon extract. Lemon Aroma is much less strong and typically you pour in the whole little bottle, not just a few drops. <br /><br />At Real in Singen, DE, I saw Lemonschale (lemon peel) in several packaged forms, which would probably be a more concentrated flavor than lemon aroma.<br /><br />You can buy real lemon extract for 8.90 at this online swiss shop: http://www.afoodave.ch/mccormick-pure-lemon-extract.html<br /><br />Of course, you could make your own lemon extract with vodka. Check this blog: http://www.afoodave.ch/mccormick-pure-lemon-extract.html<br /><br />Happy baking!<br /><br />- TanyaTanya Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913356411257627601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454672.post-25450747471114063382012-02-01T01:22:33.620+01:002012-02-01T01:22:33.620+01:00Hi is lemon extract available in coop or migros? i...Hi is lemon extract available in coop or migros? if so which brand is better and under what name should i search for it?deepanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454672.post-10448452076006550032011-06-05T01:20:49.282+02:002011-06-05T01:20:49.282+02:00Re: oatmeal.

It's not the Muesli (which usually has other grains and sometimes dried fruit and nuts) but usually right next to it in plainer packaging.

See that you posted oatmeal (rolled oats and steel cut) on some of your entries and was wondering if you could kindly tell me where to buy that? Not sure if I can use Museli the same as Quaker Oats? Many thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454672.post-69933048725800416792011-05-15T21:36:31.584+02:002011-05-15T21:36:31.584+02:00Michelle - I've never seen the flaked sweetene...Michelle - I've never seen the flaked sweetened coconut here. I've imported mine from the US to make coconut macaroons. Perhaps the expat food online shops here have it.

It is a really great shop, you feel like you have travelled back in time. The chocolate was in a little glass case that the sales lady had to open with a key!!! Too funny what the Swiss protect!!!! Anyway, it is near the end of the Niederdorf (the Hauptbahnhof end). They also have neat things that you can't get elsewhere, and good dried cranberries, holiday specials, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454672.post-65769879983593796692011-01-23T19:42:28.910+01:002011-01-23T19:42:28.910+01:00Awesome, thanks for doing this!Awesome, thanks for doing this!Abakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01163173476576919702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454672.post-60253123380218193982011-01-18T21:35:57.556+01:002011-01-18T21:35:57.556+01:00Dear expat chow

For a while I ordered the vanilla extract from the King Arthur shop but for a few years Migros has now something called "Pâte de Vanille" (vanilla paste) in stock which completely fulfills my needs.tobiaslinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04961308182748971705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454672.post-56204643373418191632011-01-17T09:23:46.269+01:002011-01-17T09:23:46.269+01:00Wonderful list Tanya, thanks!

It is not exactly the same as extract, but can be used in the same way. This stuff is really strong, and so good I often don't bother with a vanilla bean when it's called for by a recipe.Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16024265331288950183noreply@blogger.com
