American Items (In K-Market): Requests?

[Desundial]

Wish list:

--white or yellow corn tortillas - all corn, not that flour-corn mix junk offered now
or - corn masa for making own corn tortillas
--whole wheat tortillas at more stores (S-market more reliably stocks it right now)
--canned green tomatillo salsa - S market stocks it
--refried beans (sometimes they have it in Kamppi, sometimes not)
--real cheddar cheese (yes, they stock it in some stores, just let them know to keep at it!)
--ditto on the real hidden valley ranch dressing or ranch dressing powder mix

And while I'm making demands - nice if these "exotic" foods would also be available at myyrmäki or sello, not just kamppi.

A bit off-topic... about how many american people live in Finland ? I'm wondering if we could also do such a "lobby" to K-market for the French community. Good luck for getting your missed goods over here.

This doesn't really answer your question but I heard on tv today there are something like 10,500 people living in Finland with English as their mother tongue.

Bisquick

I haven't seen that in my local store. I have tried to replace it but honestly just can't.

Thanks jas_rho, there should/could be significantly more americans than French people here - about 1 500 IIRC.

I've heard of bisquick - what does one do with it??

What have you tried replacing it with?

I have a recipe for Bisquik substitute, but have never had a chance to try it. Maybe I should open my test kitchen.

I got a substitute recipe of a cooking site. It just isn't the same for me. I have my own from scratch recipes for biscuits and pancakes but Bisquick is still me favorite.

Seems Penelope has done good advertising for us ... Or does it prove people don't ever read other people's signature ? Btw, soon reaching the 1k post mark there

They have Bisquick Shake n' Pour in Iso Omena Citymarket in Espoo, so I assume they could also import (or actually ask their importer for) ordinary Bisquick if there were requests for it.

Well, It was meant to be on the funny side!! ( I was assuming that you wanna do a French campaign here in this site like this thread). I would contribute if the request was in English fro French products!!

i noticed K-market, at least the Citymarket in Jumbo, has started to stock A&W Rootbeer, but I couldnt bring myself to buy one when I see the price tag at 1.75eur for the can and few steps away, 1.5l PET bottles of coke in 4s for 5eur.
