Hello and Merry Christmas to you all! Does anyone know where I can buy goose fat and parsnips in and around Adliswil/Zurich ? Roast potatoes are just not the same without the goose fat and I always have roast parsnips with the christmas turkey....HELP!!!
I got mine at Peace Foods in Baar this year, previously I have found it in Globus & Jelmoili in Zurich. Expect to pay arounf CHF16 for it (just giving you a heads up so you don't faint when you see the price ).
They tend to do a lot of "whole foods" and also cater for cater for vegan or gluten intoleant diets so you are not wrong with the vegan angle. They are not a veggie place though, in the cafe they sell meat products & I am also getting my Christmas Turkey & Ham from them.
The Pie Shop at the Viadukt Markthalle have Goose fat at 9.90 a jar and the stall next to me has pretty good fat parsnips for 9.30 / kg. I've already got mine!
Thanx for your reply. Could you give me directions on how to get to the market from Zurich train station please. Iv'e only been here 6 weeks and still getting my bearings! Looked up the market website and it looks a brilliant foodie place, can't wait to visit!
Rather, buy a tin of Confit d'oie or confit de canard.
It will cost you the same, well not quite, but not much more... And, as it is packed in goose or duck greese , you get to eat the yummy confit, PLUS have a jar of greese. YAY!
It is fabulous to cook potatoes or - turnips in!!!
