Buying food from switzerland

Tanja2527 · #1 29.09.2010, 21:43

Hi all,

I used to live in Switzerland and I also did alot of travel there. I get very home sick for it sometimes. and the food.
I am living in Toronto, Canada. Does anyone know of anywhere I can get or order food that I would normally find in a Swiss store? (i.e. biberli, tam tam pudding, etc.) Thank YOU.

Can't you make your own from local ingredients?
Or are you missing the cheese?
;-)

...don't you have friends or family here that could send you some?

I would sell my left kidney and permanently refuse to eat KFC in exchange to live in Toronto.

Toronto is not that great (very expensive) and we do get brutal winters. However, I guess I could get someone to send me a care package with all the goodies I love from Switzerland .

I would give my left kidney just to go shopping in Migros one more time!!

Toronto to me is the greatest city on earth....but anyhoo, let's focus on the issue. I sent you a pm.

You know the saying about how you never appreciate how lucky you are until you lose whatever it is you take for granted? I'm not very fond of the food and products here but but mark my words, as soon as I don't have them I'll probably be pining for them! HAHA!!
Anyway, with Christmas coming up the little markets will be loaded with Biberli so I would suggest you ask one of your buddies to get some for you then.

I just found out my Aunt will be visiting for the holidays, so she will prepare a little package of goodies for me! Thanks again. Have a good night

Do you know "Brant" in Toronto,and there is a Polish store which has all kind of goodies

Yes it sounds familiar, I am sure I have been there. There was a place I used to go years ago, in Toronto, called Vienna Meats and they also had very nice goodies only found in Europe. They used to carry Hero Ravioli. Those were always much better than Chef Boyardee

My aunt visited not too long ago and brought me some of the things I was missing

. she made me so happy!
