Re: oxo
 

Why, are you in the exporting of oxo cubes business? ;):rofl:

Re: oxo

Re: oxo
 

I'm getting low on OXO cubes, need a new shipment:(

Re: oxo
 

i just may have a few spare kg in my suitcase, so was seeing what profit i could make by bringing some over!

You can get PG Tips from the Walmart in Shawnessy.

Re: oxo
 

Hey Triumphguy - Thanks for the Tips :rofl:

Walmart Okotoks did have some but apparently an english lady went and purchased the whole pallet :cry_smile:

I'm going past Shawnessy today, I'll pop in and grab some.

On another note the Dollar Store in Okotoks has just started selling english chocolate and they have crisps coming in September. :thumbsup:

Be careful. According to Customs when my Sister in Law came over, chicken flavour oxo cubes are ok to bring in, but there are fines for bringing in beef flavour oxo cubes - can't recall the amount of teh fines but they did seem to be prety big

Re: oxo
 

Cobbs in Sylvan Lake allegedly have oxo cubes. Dont know if its true but I have been told lol

Re: oxo
 

Wow really? Why?

Whenever anyone comes over I get beef, lamb, chicken and veg oxo's (as well as instant Bisto mmmm). Cubes are much better than the pathetic sachets they sell here.

Hi Sam - Superstore has just started selling PC brand Aged Cheddar and Onion crisps. Bought some at the weekend as DH is (was!) a huge Walkers Cheese and Onion fan .... they passed the test although he said they could have been a little bit more oniony. As someone who can take them or leave them I thought they were closer than anything else I have tasted here.

Re: oxo
 

Have you tried the new Bisto Best granules ... my son bought some over this summer for me to try - wow they make some yummy gravy!!! Thank goodness MIL is coming over in a couple of weeks and she can bring some more.

Re: oxo
 

Has anyone tried making real gravy. It's terribly popular in most places around the globe, apart from the UK. Might even catch on one day there?
Till then little cubes of brown salty shit or tubs of chemicals containing mostly E numbers and wiff of bull will suffice.

Re: oxo
 

I do make real gravy when i'm cooking a roast, and i add an oxo cube to it! Tastes so much better. I like gravy on fries and find that Bisto is very convenient.

Re: oxo
 

Really??

I consider myself quite well travelled and have noticed a distinct lack of "gravy" in lots of countries.
U.S "country gravy" just isnt.
Most countries will have a sauce or ju but it is not gravy.
Again I make my own gravy using cubes to enhance the flavour. I do not use granules but know plenty of people who do.
In the UK, I think it is a bit of a North/South thing too.
When my southern niece came to stay, she had never heard of a pie dinner with gravy lol. And no that is not a Northern staple diet.:blink::blink:
