One of the main food things I miss from my childhood in Switzerland is Lebkuchen, the spiced gingerbread-like sweet bread. I was lucky enough to move to an area where a German woman married to a US Army guy runs a bakery and baked Lebkuchen during Advent, but now I have found real, good quality Lebkuchen in Walmart!!! It's the "Glazed Gingerbread" from a new range of cookies in black bags they sell, Henry Lamberg brand. It's in round bites, bottom half dipped in dark chocolate and the top lightly glazed.

I know it's a little pathetic, but this makes me very happy :blush:

You give me hope! I had just taken my last package of Dimpflmeier Klosterbrot out of the freezer and had even written it down on my list of things to bring back from Canada. :lol: So this is timely. I know I would have been as happy as you are to see it in Walmart. Interestingly, I found this website:

Rondo Foods

The website is weird, though. I couldn't figure out how to order anything so used the "Contact Us" form. I filled everything in then it forces me to use MS Outlook. :blink: Which I don't use, of course. Haha. Guess I'll contact them later.

I know what you are talking about! I did the happy dance when I went to the commissary the first time in the US and saw a small shelf with german products. Almost made me cry.

We found a german grocery store about 3 hours away (in Dallas) that also mails out food..here's the link:

Now I'm hungry. :lol:

Your link made me do a search for a German Bakery here in my area. We had a fabulous one not far from where I lived in FL. Every Saturday they had live music and dancing outdoors. We always took our visitors there and they loved it. Anyway, I've found a slew of them here in the Washington, DC area. Time for some road trips!

No need to buy it from WalMart, if you know what I mean.

Trader Joe's is owned by the Albrecht brothers who own the ALDI markets in Europe. You can get pretty much everything there you can get in Germany, from Jacobs coffee (Starbucks is better) to Lebkucken to Mon Cherie Brandy/Chocolate candy to Adventkalenders.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
