Originally posted by d000hg View PostIf Chef is still in Germany where is he getting all these tasty wholesome ingredients? And does he live on a German farm?Originally posted by darmstadt View PostWell there are a few English shops around Germany where you can get these things and if he's still in Köln there is a reasonably good one. I have most of the above in my freezer from the last visit to the UK and the rest can be locally sourced...
I was back in the Uk last weekend and stocked up on some fine Lincolnshire and Cumberland sausages and the bacon along with 720 Yorkshire teabags
the homemade beans are basically Haricot beans in a slightly spicy tomato sauce,
the ketchup was homemade late this summer from a batch of my tomatoes,
eggs and milk were bought from a farm shop nearby gf chefs work (along with yesterdays duck, some rabbit and veal)
fresh bread was bought from the bakery this morning (the germans love their bread)
bubble & squeak came from the leftovers of last nights duck legs with potatoes and cabbage with red wine gravy
the OJ came from Oranges through a juicerThe proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment

Quick tip for ex pats in Germany.
You can get a lot of UK stuff from "Asian" supermarkets.
They very often have T-bags, porridge oats and colmans mustard. Mine also sells Pataks sauces and even Sharwoods mango chutney.Just saying like.
where there's chaos, there's cash !
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

I taught myself to cook most of my favourite Chinese takeaway dishes while I was out there as the local takeaway was rubbish. It's saved me a fortune now I'm back in the UK.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
