Default Just found a Canadian shop in England!

I am leaving in 4 weeks to move back to Canada. I have been living in the UK for nearly 9 years and I have just found out about this shop!!!! How annoying but for all of you Canadians living in the UK, they have baked been in maple syrup, ketchup flavoured crips, coffee crisp... woop!

The Canada Shop UK - Retailer and wholesaler of beverages, candy, chocolate, chips and groceries from Canada to the United Kingdom and Europe.

Enjoy!

Kinhell the price of some of those products is legalized rape IMHO

5 pound 25 p for a 540 gramme tin of Cherry pie filling WTF
1 pound 75p for a 52 gramme Cadburys Caramilk bar of chocolate
11 pound 50 for a 343 gramme tin of Tim Hortons Coffee
Five twenty five for a 250 gramme container of Cinnamon spread.

Any sane Canadian would balk at those prices and walk straight out.

WTF is cinnamon spread? It's very existence could explain a great deal about Canadian cooking.

So many healthy options! Thanks for posting.

It's a chocolate hazelnut spread. Similar in consistency to cream cheese. Marketed as a "healthy" spread, even though it's, well, chocolate.

It's fricking delicious.

Is it bad that this is making me want Nutella?

For anyone who has a Costco membership, Costco has hilariously huge jars of Nutella. Found this pic on Google searching for "Costco nutella"... yeah. Literally, a bucket. http://awholelotofnothing.net/wp-con...-11-pounds.jpg
