Chocolate Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 That was a quick reply Clair! I had looked in our dictionaries without sucess and even asked my French teacher, (who is French!) and she didn't know. I shall go looking tomorrow. Thank you.

Maggie Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I use quite a lot of Tumeric (and other spices) and have found this site to be very good - http://www.epices-et-piment.comIf you use spices frequently (for curries perhaps!) it works out quite a lot cheaper than buying the small glass jars from the supermarket.

mint Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Where do you live, Chocolate?There's an absolutely brill Asian supermarket in Bordeaux Lac called Eurasi where I could happily spend a couple of hours and a couple of hundred euros. Not that I do, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastet Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 There's also an Asian supermarket in Niort, and a spices seller who goes to various 2 Sèvres markets as well as selling direct: www.12m-saveurs.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Thanks everybody for the helpful replies. I found it easily yesterday in our local supermarket (once I knew its name). I had of course been looking at it all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
