Asking questions is never stupid. if you look at the definition of non-Pro, it clearly refers to native speakers. So, no need to feel bad. But I am sure your appeal will prevent other folks from clicking the same button; so you are 'safe'.

Hmmm Teresa, is this really worth voting "non-pro"? It just makes the asker feel insufferably stupid to have asked a question that is schoolboy-level and is obviously just wasting everyone's time. Is it really that obvious? A colloquial usage (as you say) that is not listed in Duden - it may be obvious to you, but I was checking to make sure that it wasn't a mistake after 3 people (2 translators and a German NS) said it was a typo. I feel suitably humbled!

This is a colloquial use of "an" - as for, when it comes to...; e.g., in "An Gemüse haben wir heute Bohnen, Erbsen und Karotten." Or "Die hatten heute nichts an frischem Gemüse."
