Am continuing to figure out how to do this. I realized how much we (Americans) just assume the rest of the world is like us when I made authentic Nestle's Tollhouse Cookies. In order to make the recipe with all of the correct ingredients, I used: all-purpose flour and brown sugar that I bought from the monthly international market at ISD because neither product is available here; vanilla extract, baking powder and chocolate chips that I brought back from the United States because there is no vanilla extract here (only vanilla sugar), no chocolate chips and baking powder is single-action, not double action like the kind in the US. The butter, sugar and salt came right here in Germany--and was cheaper than it would be in the US.
So my point is that the chocolate chip cookie is not the ubiquitous treat I thought it was. I always thought of the chocolate chip cookie as the snack/dessert that one could find wherever one found oneself. Not true.
On a food related note, my cheese in continuing to do well.
