I found the Mexican store yesterday, and, as always, forgot my camera. Here are the things that one can buy at the Mexican store, and nowhere else: tortillas, tortilla chips that are not barbecue flavoured, shredded cheese, cheese that is orange, Oreos (Las galletas preferidas de leche). I bought all of these things, and my wallet has still not recovered. A bag of home-made tortilla chips, for instance, costs 3,80€, which is about $5. That particular foodstuff will not be coming to the Burritoabend that I am planning, but will instead be for my own private consumption. The deliciousness of tortilla chips is not something that I can expect Germans to appreciate. Maybe I will pick up a bag of doritos...
But anyway, I am much closer to Burritoabend than I was two days ago. And I have five linguists who have promised to attend if their schedules permit.
Now I have to find some cilantro; the internet's advice is "grow it," which isn't really so much an option, but apparently it can also be found in Asian stores. Another option, I guess, is that old German mainstay: "no cilantro."
Growing cilantro is not hard, I've done it myself... though the leaves which are ultimately more important (unless you are making curry) are easier to get. Whatevs.
ReplyDeleteAsian store should have it.
Jeremy Lin knows a couple of Asian stores in Berlin--you could ask him where they are.
