When I go back home, I max out the weight allowance with real brown sugar, maple syrup, and other baking goods they don't sell here. If good cheddar cheese kept longer, I'd bring it over too.<br />Cheers,<br />ian in hamburgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915444177822430212.post-19214218544051960592010-10-15T23:10:04.497+02:002010-10-15T23:10:04.497+02:00No, Vollrohzucker is a dry natural sugar, rather l...No, Vollrohzucker is a dry natural sugar, rather like Demerara. What Americans are talking about is a sugar that is deep brown and very moist because it is, basically, partially molasses.I have tried to get it at Asian stores (where others have directed me), but it's not the same. I will give Broken English a call, though, and my VHS teacher tells me that LPG has the real stuff, so I'll G in Berlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168975470282994167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915444177822430212.post-66166913583091088562010-10-15T12:59:51.349+02:002010-10-15T12:59:51.349+02:00If there's a fair trade shop near you, you cou...If there's a fair trade shop near you, you could try there. Vollrohrzucker is what I'm thinking of - would be interested to here if you find some and consider it to be 'real' brown sugar as I'm never sure what Americans are looking for when they mention this either :-)Moonwaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018956740090192993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915444177822430212.post-2276968980350879322010-10-14T22:53:00.842+02:002010-10-14T22:53:00.842+02:00Since i think you live in Berlin i can recommend a...Since i think you live in Berlin i can recommend an asian store close to Alexanderplatz (Dircksenstraße 36, 10179 Berlin). There you can buy brown sugar (light and dark) and also other stuff like black beans. My american gf says the brown sugar is very authentic. As a german (with my brown-sugar-deficient-tongue) i wouldn't dare to recommend it to you without an american Ok:-).

There are branches in Charlottenburg, Steglitz, and Kreuzberg. You'll find them on the web so you could call and ask. Oh, and ask the price too: could be expensive!fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284847952437148628noreply@blogger.com
