to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

Introducing Helen, my shadally fankid because I drew her once and now she's here for keeps

Part of my Mobius 37 years later au, she's an accidental byproduct of a political marriage between Sally and Shadow. Sally, after 3 divorces and finally living out her 30/40s in peace, needs an actual king (in writing) to prevent continuous claims to the throne by rivals and enemies. And Shadow, now a world renowned trailblazer in medical research, is tired of dealing with the bureaucracy and politics of his field and would desperately like someone else with authority and better patience to handle this side of work. Their marriage is completely platonic, each recognizes that there's a mutual benefit to the arrangement, and they can solve each other's problems with a more personal connection.

Helen may have been an accident, but by this point her parents have matured well and are not burdened by war to find time to raise her properly. She utilizes the same chaos inhibitors as her father, and was trained intensely by him and other masters of chaos energy to perfect her control over her abilities. She takes the same path as her mother, showing a strong interest in political sciences and justice. In the au's current time she's already set off on her own to pursue her studies.

thinking about how video games usually have you buying items at a shop that has a grocery clerk sort of model. or like a merchant’s stall.

no… show me a video game that makes you wander through a life-size supermarket instead. oh you want a health potion? gotta figure out what fuckin aisle it’s in. pharmacy? sports drinks? condiments? walk around and find out. also you have to spend like 5 minutes standing and staring at the dozen or so options. there’s different flavors and some of them might be cheaper but you gotta factor in the quantity…. and multi-packs…….. should you get a 6 pack of blue raspberry +50 or a single espresso full recovery?

and how about fantasy costco? you want 200 shivs???? that’s wholesale babey

Preserving Indian Culinary Traditions in Germany: A Taste That Travels Across Borders

When you’re living thousands of kilometers away from home, it’s the little things that make you miss India the most—the familiar sounds of a pressure cooker, the spicy aroma of tadka, or the first bite of a hot paratha dipped in pickle. For Indians in Germany, food isn’t just about sustenance; it’s a bridge to identity, memory, and comfort.

As immigrants and expats work to build new lives, they also find ways to preserve the essence of where they came from. Cooking traditional Indian meals is one of the most meaningful ways to do that. And to do it right, access to authentic Indian groceries becomes not a luxury—but a necessity.

Why Indian Kitchens Abroad Still Matter

In the Indian household, the kitchen is more than just a space to cook—it’s a place where families bond, traditions are passed down, and memories are made. When you move to a new country, especially one like Germany where local supermarkets are stocked with unfamiliar products, recreating those meals can be difficult.

But it’s also empowering. Cooking Indian food abroad is an act of continuity. It keeps your culture alive—not just for you, but for your children, your friends, and even your German neighbors who are curious about your cuisine.

The Foundation of Indian Food Starts with Rice

If there's one ingredient that unites India’s diverse culinary landscape, it's Rice.

Rice is at the heart of daily meals in Indian homes. From the fluffy basmati that accompanies North Indian gravies to the short-grain rice used in South Indian curd rice or lemon rice, it’s an essential staple that transcends regions. It’s served during weddings, offered in temples, and eaten in the simplest home-cooked meals.

Outside India, not all rice is created equal. European supermarkets may offer jasmine or sushi rice, but these cannot replicate the taste or texture required in Indian cooking. That’s why Indian grocery stores in Germany play such a vital role. They offer a wide selection of rice varieties—basmati, sona masoori, idli rice, matta rice—making it possible to cook every dish exactly the way it was meant to be.

Whether you're preparing biryani, pongal, khichdi, or puliyogare, the right rice makes all the difference in authenticity and taste.

Embracing Culture Through Ingredients

For many Indian families abroad, food becomes the strongest cultural expression. Children growing up in Germany might speak German at school and watch Western TV shows, but when they sit down to a plate of dal-chawal or sambar-rice, they’re participating in a tradition that goes back generations.

Indian grocery stores abroad help sustain that connection. From essential spices and flours to traditional sweets, frozen snacks, and regional products, these stores offer everything needed to bring the Indian kitchen to life—wherever you are.

Celebrating Festivals Away from Home

Food is central to every Indian festival, whether it’s preparing sweets for Diwali, fasting meals for Navratri, or a rich feast for Onam. Even when you're celebrating away from extended family, the right ingredients can make it feel just as special.

Indian stores in Germany stock everything from pooja items and ghee lamps to festive snacks and seasonal sweets—making it easy to celebrate every occasion with full authenticity.

Online Shopping for Convenience and Choice

As life gets busier, more people are turning to online platforms to do their grocery shopping. Indian online grocery services in Germany offer a wide range of products with:

Region-specific categories (e.g., South Indian, North Indian, Jain food)

Delivery across cities and towns

Fresh stock updates and discounts

Easy browsing in English

Safe and secure checkout

This helps students, working professionals, and families save time while staying connected to the flavors they love.

Final Thought

Cooking Indian food in Germany is more than a habit—it’s a celebration of identity. With the right ingredients, every meal becomes an emotional experience, a moment of connection, and a way to preserve your roots. Thanks to the availability of a trusted Indian grocery store in Germany, you no longer have to miss out on tradition, no matter how far from home you are.
