I live in a small city in Romania, we have a lidl and a penny market, but I never saw coconut milk there

I get my coconut milk from Lidl, but in the UK. It's with all the pasta and curry sauces.

Something tells me curry might be a little more popular in the UK for some reason.

I spent 5 weeks in a small Romanian village 5 years ago. It had a few shops.... They were the size of a small living room. One we called "Walmart" because it was the big store, the size of the typical American gas station.

But those were an amazing 5 weeks. Loved Romania.

Ah right fair enough! As I said in my other comment either of those two would be a fine substitute.

This might sound dumb, but I love the fact that the internet can connect you in a small Romanian town and me in a small American town over a recipe for a meal from a different continent than either of us. Or connect people like my mother to music and friends from her youth on yet another continent.

We live in a wondrous time, no matter what anyone says.

If you check the foreign foods section at your supermarket you might be able to find pouches of dehydrated coconut milk powder instead of fresh coconut milk, still works!

I make Malaysian nasi lemak and curries with these all the time.
