hey all

My first? post here ar brit expats, so Ive been here for a few months now, but I still miss things about England and still have ideas about going back. So here is a place i just found that makes my stay here a little more bearable, the black pudding located in langley 62nd avenue and 202. good prices and lots to choose from. as weall know Canadian chocolate is crap, Galaxy bars, dairy milk, you n ame it they got it. they will also bring in special items is they are able to get it.

Hope this helps someone at least

mike, i love you.....i love black pudding an i'm a southern softie and moving to van, so to find black pudding.....yum, yum, yum...x

Sorry to disappoint but he didn't say you could buy black puddings, he said that was the name of the store.

Correct Steve, but on their website it is a product they carry. I figure it's useless calling your shop after the name of something you don't stock.

Then someone is going to be a happy camper.

Hello, MikeCozza69, and welcome to the BE forum (now that you've emerged from lurking mode).

There is a website that lists Scottish butchers around the world.

They include the store you mentioned. For the sake of Britons in other Canadian cities, here is the full list for Canada:

• Maison Bramble House 17Valois Bay Pointe-Claire QC H9R 4B4
• Black Pudding Imports Unit A 20243 62 Avenue Langley BC V3A 5E6 - Obviously this is the one you mentioned, Mike.
• The Shamrock and Thistle Bakery 261 Queen Street Port Perry, Ontario L9L-1B9

Mods, I don't believe the above material is copyrighted. There isn't a copyright notice on the website. Besides that, the information is in the public domain, and I theoretically could have assembed it independently.

Tendercut Meats is owned by an English butcher in Regina. Their website states that they sell European-style bacon, English bangers, etc.

Irving Farm Fresh Meats sells English style bacon and sausages at farmers' markets in and around Edmonton.

There is info about sources, substitutes, etc., in the Wiki article called Shopping-Canada.

Thanks for the info Judy. I went to the shop in Port Hope 2 years ago and it had hardly anything in there, but after reading your post I thought maybe things were different. So, as I was in PH yesterday I called in. Its good. A reasonable range of things so I bought tea for MOH and marmite crisps for me. I will go back sometime to buy some bacon from there.

I figure the more Brits that shop in these places, the more selection they'd likely to get in, especially if a number of regular customers asked for the same products.

They said that they had had new owners just after I visited last, so maybe thats why. I wonder if they are a chain as they tend to stock the same things??

Near Vancouver in Richmond (Steveston) is British Home which sells black pudding and proper bacon, Scotch eggs, pies, haggis... They don't appear to have a website, but I managed to find this!

They also have chocolates, tea, Branston pickle, tinned Heinz Beans, and other items imported from England.
