                 in a local grocery store (USA) i think i've seen   
                 boxes of  "Panko"   in the shelves.   
      
      
      
   In German, "Brot" and "Panier" are completely different words with   
   distinct meanings:   
      
   Brot:          This is the most common word for bread in German,   
   referring to any variety of bread in general. It can be sliced bread,   
   rolls, baguettes, etc. (Think "breadbasket").   
      
   Panier:       This word refers to bread crumbs used for coating food   
   before frying or baking. It comes from the French word "paner," which   
   also means "to bread." (Think "breading for schnitzel").
