British Chocolate?
Can anyone suggest any good stores to buy british goods?
especially chocolate? I managed to find one stall in a flea market in Pickering. they just seem so expensive. I am desperatly trying to work on my 13 year old son to convince him that the future is much brighter here! there must be other parents that understand the value of a choccie bar! Sorry, everyone!..... but Canadian chocolate is not the same at all. I still love Canada!!!!!!!! help mothers desperate plea? many thanks :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: |
Sorry, I can`t help. But if anyone knows where I can get hold of some proper gravy I`d be grateful.
Sobey`s sell the Bisto powder, but at nearly $5:scared: and it only lasts about two dinners. The granules back in Old Blightly lasted ages....... anyone? |

It's called Sweet Thrills and they do have a wide variety of British chocolate. Good luck! But beware too much chocolate is not good for you.

Hi there!
i know that this particular store in the new flea market in pickering does sell original bisto powder, also the instant gravy granuals. They also sell a variety of cubes and packet mixes. I know that they also have a shop in oakville i believe. I will try and find out more when i get down there. I did also find a couple of websites that sell lots of british goods that will deliver to your door. WWW.EXPATSCORNER.CA www.greatbritishgoods.com they may be helpful if you are looking to buy a few goods. i only wanted chocolate. good luck!:D |

do you have Superstore where you are? I go regularly and have noticed that they sell the odd British product, including gravy sometimes. at the moment, they are selling Buttons, Flakes,
Caramels, Double Deckers. In the past I have also bought M and S tea, Twirls, Tizer and Iron Bru. Basically, when it's in, buy it as you don't know when it will come back. The price is normal price too, not overpriced like the speciality Brit stores. Good luck! |

Am still yet to find a fish and chips that at least comes close to what we are used to in blighty. I have been to all the ones people have suggested in the GTA, and they are nothing to write home about.
What gets me, is that these people selling the stuff, have the audacity to call it fish and chip british style, how dare they :( To me, a good fish and chips looks something like the pic below, nice cod fish with some fluffy chips with a bit of vinegar in it :D Yummy |
OH MY you are making me hungry....they look so good I can smell them!!!ummmmmm...We have a good fish and chips resaurant in Bridgewater and I think they have the best fish and chips I have ever had in Canada. You will never get good cod fish in Canada cause it is all full of worms....the haddock is good but someone told me recently that it also has worms in it....well I eat haddock alot and I have never seen any but in cod....well!

Re: British Chocolate?
yum.. chocolate.. I know your pain.. I paid too much for chocolate at the flea market too!!
sugar mountain sells all kinds of goodies.. they have yorkies at a reasonable rate.. I think.. also, I have purchased the big slab of chocolate at loblaws/no frills.. it tastes pretty good to me.. (I am canadian though..) I have enjoyed many a british cadburys in my day .. so if thats what you need.. also, some deli's believe it or not stock belgian chocolate.. is that close? and.. what type of fish is the best?? I love this spot in ajax. I prefer halibut and I am not sure if they cook it the way brits like it.. but man, tasty.. good portions.. Halibut Time at Westney and hwy 2. I dont want to make anyone drive all that way, but if you are in the area.. they actually do good chips and fish.. I always find you get one without the other.. |

See the thing is, everyone comes up saying they had a nice one here and there, and they turn out not to be be brits or people that can tell a good fish and chips. I'll defintely try that one in Ajax when am in that neck of the woods. The worst ones have had though, were in Cambridge, i was throwing up for two days :mad: |

thanks! i will check them out..
although i did find a tube of smarties that were meant to be english. they were not at all. imports from another country. correct me if i am wrong but British chocolate has trade marks, quality control marks and a list of all nutritional information? this is something i look for. I KNOW MY CHOCOLATE!!!! MANY THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Originally posted by louisa do you have Superstore where you are?
