The American Store – Products from the US

Hankerin’ For Home?

The American Store is a small shop that supplies, as you might imagine, kitsch, necessities and even perhaps even a category called “kitsch-necessities”. OK, I know your friends don’t “need” Barbie-doll candles on their birthday cakes or Betty Crocker brownies, but then again “need” is a very relative concept – especially when living abroad.

The space is so packed with nostalgic items it almost functions as a museum of pop culture: Campbell’s soup, Jell-O, Crisco, Tollhouse cookies, iced tea powder and every type of candy you can imagine.

However, apart from all this frivolity there is an array of very useful items like measuring cups, cake pans, and cookie sheets.

If you want to browse on line, that’s an option as well. The store has a very impressive, well-organized, website that allows you to search for and buy products.

If you are experiencing any sort of withdrawal symptoms from US culture, it might just be the place for you.
