When I was in the London and attempting to find quinoa in....Tesco, Waitrose?...a grocery store, I couldn't find it. And the dudes at the store had no clue what I was talking about. Even when I spelled it. Even when I pronounced it KEE-NO-AH (just in case it was pronounced differently in the UK). Even when I described it in a variety of different, increasingly creative ways.
So, after making an utter fool of myself for long enough, I gave up. My (also American) roommate found it in one go. IDK.
