Hi,

Apologies if some of these have been covered on another post before. I would like to know where i could get my hands on the following..

• red/white wine vinegar (found sherry vinegar in a big-ish Coop)
• cider vinegar
• buttermilk
• smoked paprika
• baby back pork ribs
• worchester sauce
• soft brown sugar or molasses
• fennel seeds
• chargrilled peppers in oil (in a jar)

Cheers

Much of it you can source here: www.leshop.ch (Migros online) and www.coop.ch.

Most of them are commonly available items so you might want to go here to translate them first.

Hi, can only help with the items I too have needed, white wine vinegar, I bought this in Eurospar, but you can get in any migros or coop on the label will read Weißweinessig

Brown sugar you can get in most supermarket homebaking aisles should be packaged as Rohzucker

Worcester Sauce you can buy at any migros sometimes in baskets under the fish or fresh butcher counter and is L & Ps

Chargrilled Peppers in oil have seen these on shelves beside pickles also in Migros

Unfortunately can't help with the rest although I do get fennel seeds from local asian store, maybe you will get these other ingredients in stores such as this.

Try the butcher counter for your ribs, and hope your sticky ribs turn out as they should, take it all ingredients are for this?

Good luck with your search

For Fennel seads try an Indian food store, you will get much more for your money.

Oooooo real wet ribs! <drools> can I come for dinner!

Thanks for all the replies, very useful

I got Jamie Olivers America cookbook, there's some awesome BBQ recipes in the book...

If you happen to decide that that recipe doesn't quite do it for you, I've found this recipe to be quite good and it is easily "fiddled" with... I don't tend to leave a recipe exactly as read for more than the first time or two that I've used it.



Among the changes I've made is that I tend to use less chili powder and pepper and I generally only keep cider vinegar in the house so use that instead of the white vinegar.

Also, if I am feeling a bit more in the mood for tanginess along with my sweet I add in about a tablespoon of yellow mustard.

If I am using it to make pulled pork I do not put in any chili powder or pepper at all and instead put in allspice (tasting about every 15min or so to check if it needs more) and a bit of maple syrup.



Now, if I were making that sauce for my father instead of my hubby I'd add in a little bit of finely chopped jalapeño pepper and leave the chili powder and black pepper as is.

You can get Worcestershire sauce (& many other International foods) in any Globus department store, or go to British food online shop www.myexpatshop.com - they have a good selection & can even order in special requirements for you. I've used them a lot, and find them most helpful. Good luck with your shopping!

Smoked Paprika can be found at the Jelmoli. It is called Rauchpaprika and is not with the other paprikas but a little farther along. But, it is about 8chf for a little bag.

They seem to have something similar at the Globus, but they were all out when I was there looking for it. Again, it was in the spice section but down in another area-- not with the regular paprikas but down with the saffron, or something else "exotic".

Good luck!

I am just curious to know if anyone spotted Malt vinegar in zurich. It is recommended in a recipe for shrimp curry, would love some pointers to finding a bottle.

You can order it from the London Store in Zug or you could try Jelmoli to see if they have it.

did not get in Jelmoli...will try the london store

Orell Füssli, the bookshop on Bahnhofstrasse sells it...

If you whip double or whippling cream until it splits the liquid part will be buttermilk and the solids will be butter. For more detailed instructions see

For fennel seeds, try at an Apotheke.

Another method that's cheaper, less effort and you're more likely to have the ingredients in the fridge: add one tablespoon of lemon juice to one cup of milk and let it sit for 10 mins until it 'clabbers'.

Apparently you can use vinegar instead of lemon juice, but I've never tried that; I'm always making this to toss in a cake so lemon juice seems acceptable whereas the idea of vinegar is gah...

Just to let everyone know that I got a nice little bottle of Malt vinegar at the Orrell Fuselli on banhofstr
