I dont think the craving for English stuff ever goes away, but you do find the odd little thing in grocery stores that satisfy it, i found Cross and Blackwell sauces and Cadbury Buttons from England the other day in No Frills! I found over time that buying imported over priced English stuff to be a waste of time and money.

Although saying that 2 years ago, quite randomly at a bus stop i suddenly had a terrible craving for a belgium bun from Gregs, oh man my mouth was watering, after 3 unsuccesful attempts at making them (they tasted like a yeast infestion with icing on top) I got our accountant at work who travels back and forth from the UK to bring me 2 back, they were hard and nearly stale but boy did they ever taste good!

But i do agree that finding Canadian alternatives is a good idea, after being here 8 years i know i couldnt go back to England and not miss, Canadian bacon LOL

lol god i remember when you made them lol, they were yuk yuk yuk!!! they looked nice but taste yes like a yeast infection

There was a British food store out in Georgetown which may be nearer. Also, it may be worth checking out Indian grocery shops, I used to use one in Montreal that always had a stock of Heinz Baked Beans in the UK blue labelled tins.

Yes, he would, France is full of ex-pats whingeing because they can't get some bloody instant thing in a packet; I am of a very pacific nature, but this drives me scatty.
