Where to find ingredients
Find fresh yeast cubes in the refrigerated bakery or dairy section of your local supermarket. Use any standard pork or chicken frankfurters from the meat aisle for the filling. Mashed potatoes can be prepared from scratch using floury potatoes or bought as a convenience item. Most other staples like milk, flour, and veg are readily available in any local grocery shop.
