nectarine Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I can't see the spice star anise in my local supermarket and asking for a literal translation "anis etoile" just didn't seem to register with the staff .... can anyone please tell me what this spice translates as in French and whether it is commonly found?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's called badiane or badiane étoilée.I have seen it in supermarkets and in health food shops.Edit: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badiane_chinoise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Badiane or anis étoilée, although I've never seen it for sale here.You could try one of these suppliers though...http://www.twenga.fr/dir-Gastronomie,Epice-et-condiment,Anis-en-grains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
