Anyone know where to find elderberry extract nearby?

This might be a long shot, but I've gotten help finding things here before so I thought I'd try just in case...

EDIT: Found!

Are you talking about Sambucol? If so, I've seen it at CVS and Walgreens in the past, in with the cold-and-flu stuff. I admit I don't know about current stocks at local stores, but you could call around and check before going.

Thank you. The Walgreens near me has that, but it's a homeopathic quick dissolve tablet; I actually want the extract if it is easily accessible.

call cambridge naturals and whole foods. rite aid and cvs each carry various products (sambucol &c) that contain it as an ingredient, too.

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Cambridge Naturals has it, turns out.

I'm pretty sure I've seen it at Harvest in Central.

I obtained the concentrate. If it helps me with my cold, I should probably stock up if I see it at Harvest--betting it would be less expensive than at Cambridge Naturals...

Most decent liquor stores carry St. Germain.

That's an elderflower-flavored liqueur.

And you're a pedant.

:P

Oh, wait. Was that a joke? Did I misinterpret humor? GEE WHIZ! MY BAD!!

I'm so, so sorry to ruin your day with my pedantic use of facts. Kind of a silly habit of mine!

Tell me, do you always break out the insults when people don't know you're being sly and funny? Or is it just something you do on the internet, where it's safe to be rude?

[clevernonsense.livejournal.com]

Uh, both my comments were jokes and the exact sort of humor I use quite regularly on & off line.

It's also fairly standard that the use of the ":P" emoticon means "I am being a silly dork." I apologize if you took offense, but I also think you're being a little sensitive here.

*puts on professorial glasses*

The :P emoticon can also mean "thpppt!" as in "nuts to you, jack!".

Yes, I'm a little sensitive here. Another silly habit of mine, along with being pedantic.

Just curious ... what sort of recipe are you following (or creating) that uses this as an ingredient?

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

I was hoping it was would be useful in treating my cold; I've heard from a number of sources it can be, though I might have started it too late.

really? The obligatory Monty Python reference gets deleted and not just ignored? *sigh* What is the world coming to?

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

With apologies, I did not immediately catch the reference (my bad) and I was in a mood and not thinking clearly. Sensitivity seems to be a theme just now.

[ron_newman]

what Monty Python reference? Somehow I missed this entirely.

[siderea]

Probably it involved the accusation of someone's parent smelling of elderberries.

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

yep. It was something like "obligatory reference to how your father smells"

And no worries, I didn't mean to be offensive, just stupid. B-)
