I've noticed Cadbury branded cookies in a lot more places recently and they are properly packaged for US sale by Burton's Biscuit Company who have the contract apparently not only in the UK but in the US as well - apparently that awful Hershey deal doesn't cover cookies.

In Arlington, VA there is a Cigar and British food store! Generally has a lot of the stuff from back home - Cadbury, Walkers, Branston Pickle, Lucozade etc. It's on Wilson, half way between the Metro and Whole foods, if any one is in the area!

We have those places here, but at outrageous prices. There isn't much I miss, when I came here British food was pretty bland and awful. I grew up at a time of rationing and limited choices. I'd never tasted spaghetti that wasn't out of a tin, and things like zucchini and peppers were unknown.

Clonakilty Blackpudding company hopes to manufacture in Boston

This might be of interest to some...If it happens.

Cadbury is awful, its owned by kraft and manufacture in poland now. Their chocolate isnt allowed to be called chocolate in parts of the world [they did a deal with the eu] because they remove the cocoa butter and replace it with vegetable oil [soya mainly] so please - just buy something better, leonidas, green and black [also kraft, but better quality] or any of the smaller real makes. Cocoa trees are round my house, we make local chocolate, honestly most of the factory made stuff isnt very nice. Heres a thought, most of what you like is fermented. This isnt just beer/booze. Tea, coffee, chocolate, even air dried sausage and dry hams, they are all fermented in production...

We went to Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati the other weekend. Best selection of British food (and many other countries) I've seen since I've been here. Thousands of beers and a huuuuuge cheese selection too. Contemplating a move to Cincinnati now.

It doesn't really matter what it's called imo. The reason Hershey's and the Canadian-made Cadbury's don't taste that good is because of the palm oil they're allowed to use in the EU and still call it "chocolate". Why they have to call it that at the expense of it tasting worse I'm not sure.

Bizarrely in Canada they don't make it with palm oil but it's apparently perfectly okay to import it from the UK, so some of it is imported and just has different packaging.

In the US they kind of con people because it says: "imported" on the packaging for example on Creme Eggs - yes, imported from Canada where it doesn't taste much better than the crap Hershey's makes.

The Christmas Tree shop seem to be selling Aero bars, 4 for a buck at the mo.

Those in the Boston area, Kiki's in Brighton have crates of beans for $25, that's 24 cans...Plenty of other things too..

My local Harris Teeter stocks these. Although I now prefer American BBQ beans.

Bob

They're everywhere, but I refuse to spend $3+ on a can of beans.

I do like the beans here, especially B&M but they aren't as good on toast though.

tom169

Beans on toast still baffles my American family.

I think it's amazing.

With that said, they quite enjoyed it after preparing some for me the first morning being in the USA.

Just say it's British Bruschetta.
