Calling UK people

[Grimmy]

Am I overlooking unsweetened cocoa powder like I did the yeast? I look in the baking section and I never see it. Should I be looking somewhere else?

Is this it? It's not specifically called unsweetened, but it says sweeten to taste

I think that would work. I wonder where I would find that in a regular supermarket? Next time I go I might try the drink aisle.

neeps I was at that Whole Foods a few weeks ago, and didn't even think to look for it. I wish they'd put some Whole Foods outside of London so people that don't live there can actually get stuff.

Do you have a Hotel Chocolat near you?

I buy cocoa powder in the baking section at Waitrose.

ETA: I've never heard of sweetened cocoa powder, so assume all is unsweetened.

In the baking section or in the hot drinks section...just look for cocoa powder. If it's sweetened it's called hot cocoa powder.

Okay, thanks! I'll take a look next time I go.

Good to know that it won't be called unsweetened. The ones I have seen I just assumed were sweetened ready made drinks.

Baking is so difficult to translate for some reason!
But yes, I've gotten it here. I 'think' it's randomly with baking items or with hot chocolate items.

Or, just order online and save the time!

I found it at Tesco in the drinking aisle

I know it's silly that I don't just ask, but I feel so awkward. I never know if they'll know wtf I'm talking about. I tried to find rubbing alcohol once, the person looked at me like I was insane.

Cadbury do cocoa powder. Found in the tea/coffee aisle. Red container. Would be a more common item than yeast!

I totally get that.

Haha, considering my husband was born and raised in London, you'd think he'd be more help in knowing if something is a "thing" here. But yeah, he's useless.

Cadbury do Bourneville Cocoa powder. It's unsweetened and usually in the baking section or the coffee / tea / drinks section of most UK supermarkets.
