I came across
Gourmondo thanks to some friends and then finally, Ingrid who told me that they had Kusmi tea and after enjoying nearly an entire pot of Detox at her house I was sold: I needed to buy Kusmi Detox! So I went online two days ago and placed an order for a bunch of things that I want to "test" on family members who are always so curious about what American things taste like... but also other things that are not commonly available here. This morning, look what arrived!
The entire ordering process (you can use a credit card, yay!), the extremely fast shipping (I didn't even opt for fast shipping), the order confirmation through email, the carefully packed order (the fresh organic soups came in a special insulated foam box with ice packs!), the tortilla chips were not crushed... and everything that I ordered was there. I am so impressed.
Gourmondo has a brand new customer, if they are this responsible with my order I will continue to shop with them for years to come. I am super impressed. If you live in Germany order from this company - GREAT everything.
I can't wait to try some of the Jamie Oliver things that I bought... I've never tried his foods before and I usually like to make everything by hand but for a quick dinner these things will come in very handy. Oh and microwave popcorn - how nice to see you again. It's hard to find in Germany, at least in Hannover. And tortilla chips are not that great at all, there is always lots of spices on them. These are spice-free, just corn and salt, just how I like them. To receive an order like this right before the weekend is such bliss because now I can have guests for a little testing! :)
Have a great weekend everyone, I have no property to look so I won't be reporting in with much progress there but in a way, it's a blessing. I need to break from apartment hunting for the weekend..
See you next week!

likechocolate you should be able to find cheddar cheese at Aldi or Lidl. At least the ones that I frequent in Germany stock it.
Yvonne I have some popcorn and Kusmi Tea and Newman's over here...
We have "bio" microwave popcorn in most stores here but it tastes like styrofoam. :) Sorry.
There is cheddar cheese here, I find irish cheddar and it's delicious.
Do you know if there are plain soft corn tortillas (like for enchiladas) available in Hannover? Or should I bring my tortilla press and some masa harina?
Also I wanted to let you know that at lots of "Tengelmann" supermarkets they sell cheap bunches of daffodils right now - they come in bunches of 10 for 80 cents a bunch and they look funny because they just sit in a box dry and still closed, but they open and bloom beautifully once you put them in water!
And no, I don't work for them :) I'm just a student on a budget with an appreciation for affordable flowers :)
I live in Augsburg, which is in Bayern, so if you ever come down here, let me know!

The gift packages are gorgeous. :)

There are different types of Rewe markets - smaller and larger ones. (the smaller ones only have a very limited range of goods - maybe that's why you couldn't find it?) i am pretty sure there must be one which sells microwave popcorn, "ready salted" tacos (i like those from chio) and plain soft tortillas.
i agree with k. - there are so many shops here where you can find most of the stuff you were asking for. my tip would be REAL (used to be Walmart)
nevertheless, i am sure it was a pleasure to find one shop online which sells all of it and even more fun to unpack :)

But yes, there are still certain grocery products we also miss here (and receive in parcels from our families every now and then): 4-cereal-mixture for the morning porridge (haven't found it here!), Karlfazer chocolate (actually a Finnish brand), and oh, the most valuable of them - dark bread! :)
Greetings from Frankfurt/Main!
They ship to Italy.

And DEFINITELY go to Lüneburg, Holly. It's my favorite small German city, hands down. Moline/Yvonne, where are you located? I wish you were there when I lived in HH. I was a one - woman Lüneburg cheerleading squad.
I even like Bardowick! :) The cathedral is so lovely there.
Do enjoy all these beautiful treats!

you can take whatever you want from over 70 organic ingredients.
Thank you! :)
Conerning the popcorn: We still do the pan version (the kids love it)- but it is probably a lot greasier.
Hope you had a yummy weekend ;)
Tip -> go to Kaufland or Handelshof you can find there microwave popcorn (sweet or salty)
