Re: British treats - Sobeys
None of the supermarkets we use (COOP, Walmart & Superstore) seem to have poppadoms any more? Any recent sightings?

Re: British treats - Sobeys
I had a Caramel Wafer last night!
They are both available in specialist British stores. They are also both available at Walmart, but not all Walmarts carry British foods (of the ones I can think of in Brampton only one carries British food). And if you happen to be looking for Snowballs check the Italian part of the international section as that is where they are in the Walmart at which I get British food

Re: British treats - Sobeys
In the international aisle of one of the Sobeys here today, they had a similar selection of the stuff available at Bulk Barn and Walmart.
Walnut Whips, Wispa (bars and biscuits), Galaxy, Flake, Branston Pickle, proper Pickled Onions (not the tiddler things), Rich Tea Biscuits, Yorkie Bars, Club Biscuits (when will they ever get something other than orange ones?) Roses Marmalade etc

Or Mustard Creams as the visually impaired cashier read.

Re: British treats - Sobeys
OH bought a new bottle of Heinz Salad English Dressing from our Safeway at the weekend (of course, that is now owned by Sobeys)
It has new labels, same shape of bottle ...... and says New Look & Taste
Prepared in the Netherlands for Heinz Canada
Fewer ingredients in the listing, BUT the first one is Vinegar
White Vinegar is 4th item listed on the bottle we had in the fridge.
OH tried it last night .......
he said it tasted more vinegary than before

Re: British treats - Sobeys
Sobeys hired a U.K. celebrity chef. That's probably the reason for having more british threats at that food retailer.

Re: British treats - Sobeys
we've always been able to buy certain British sauces and dressings from the Safeways in Vancouver ...... they're on the regular shelves. Other foods haven't bothered us much
The only special aisle we now have at our local one is the Asian Foods Aisle.
