is there anywhere i can get baking soda in a large amount. like in the states you can get a box of arm and hammer?
thanks!!!

pharmacy should do it. I bought a bag that i keep in the fridge

Sure, now you tell me.

i asked the landlord of my local pub to go to the cash & carry for me, he got me a kilo for CHF 10 and a beer..

Why don't you just ask your local bakery to sell you a kilo?

Check your local immigrant-run grocery store, they have all the imported goodness.

e.g. in Zurich, Barkat next to schmiede-wiedikon had a pleasant 100g box of baking soda for me

or... last resort... mail order ( from within Switzerland )

Both Jelmoli and Globus have bottles of baking powder. Portuguese shops also have it (it is called Royal and is sold in small red cans).

You can get a box of Arm and Hammer in most stores in Germany in their American section - do you shop regularly in Germany?

After coming from the US I love baking soda.
Here I where looking around, found finally a company in Basel that sells them not in homeopathic doses. 10tons minimum - lets start to share ????

It's in globus in the baking section in white tubs and is labelled as baking soda. They have a lot of things for baking that aren't easily found in coop or migros. Hope that helps!
