I haven't even thought about getting canned pumpkin yet, but probably should have if I want to get some in time to make pie for Thanksgiving. Thanks for the tip, Mark.

They at least claim to have sent the pumpkin, so if anybody is desperate, "American Soda" is selling Libby's pumpkin through Amazon.de for 3,44€ a can -- but watch out for their shipping fee! (I ordered 10, so cut the sting a bit.) Just to update.

However, I just found someone offering it on Amazon.de, so hopefully that come through (I'm cooking for 60 people, so fresh is really a luxury I can't afford as far as time goes.)

No Honney Loops or Pops or whatever. It had to be the the sugarless and nearly tasteless Cheerios with the Heart shaped bowl in the package so he would know it was really the one. I buy them on www.foodfromhome.de - Just for the record, he now eat honey Loops, Müsli and all, but mamma still buys his treats. Thanks for charing your precious infos with us, Christina. Cheers from Hamburg, Roberta Hi,

This is AMAZINGLY helpful! I've been plotting with my mother for her to bring a suitcase full of baking goods when she comes for Christmas - this will leave her more room for warm clothes. ; ) Can't wait to try out the vanilla and brown sugar recipes with my British friend, who is also struggling with ingredients here. The flour breakdown is also really helpful - I've been so confused. Thanks Christina! And @Steve - Sorry, but there is no substitute for JIF. I find the stuff they import over here to be really lacking in flavor, plus the tiny jars run out in a week (with how much I love PB!). Jars of JIF will forever be on my Christmas lists! ; ) .-= Kate´s last blog ..<a href="http://americaninwiesbaden.blogspot.com/2010/07/happy-birthday-usa-ich-liebe.html" rel="nofollow">Happy birthday USA -amp Ich liebe Deutschland</a> =-.

It's called Barney's best, and the lids, jars, foil-seal, and taste say Jif to me. Be careful, though...the colors are switched. Blue is creamy and red is crunchy. made-in-America peanut butter can be found at Rewe and Hit now (in Munich as least).
