Candy?
 

Hi,
I'm in Calgary and was wodering if anyone knows where i can get hold of Bonbons? I did buy some in the Brit Store in Market mall but they were old and just like jawbreakers:(
Im going crazy for them:D

Re: Candy?

:rofl::rofl:
the british one to be more precise :D

Re: Candy?
 

If you're venturing out this way anytime try Cochrane Candies as they seem to sell just about everything. There is a UK shop here too but couldn't say if they do them or not. Bragg Creek has quite a good ice cream/candy store too. Also, if you're heading in the direction of Banff anytime, there's a candy store there too in the main street that sells just about everything - they even sell Blackpool Rock! :ohmy:

Can you get IRN-BRU ?
Heard it,s banned in the u.s (some bad e number)
Dont know about canada though.

Re: Candy?
 

Yes..

Re: Candy?
 

British Pantry on Northland Drive has some "old style" jars of sweets. Not sure if they had bonbons but probably worth a look.

Re: Candy?
 

Yes, I might just try that. I'm in the NW so going out to Cochrane is easier then Mckenzie. I also thought about the store in Banff, been to that one before, but those bonbons will end up costing me a lot:D
Thanks

Heritage Park has an old fashioned Candy Store with lots of choice. Howver, it's not open til May!

OTOH the ice cream in Cochrane is good!

Re: Candy?
 

Here in NS it's sold in both Sobeys and Atlantic Superstore so no need to find Brit specialist stores. Think it's about $2.79 for a small bottle. :)

Only six sleeps till our move.................................

Re: Candy?
 

Can you get haggis?
Oooh and can you get minced beef/steak in the butchers?
Thanks

Re: Candy?
 

No, only burgers & Moose meat..

Re: Candy?
 

Minced beef is called hamburger here. All other meat available and is usually cheaper than than the UK. Even get oatmeal (white) puddings, blood (black) pudding, Tetley tea, digestives, rich tea, and a whole host of other brit foods throughout the supermarkets. In the 4 years we have been here I notice a huge difference in the variety of European foods now available in local supermarkets. We can even by Tunnocks goodies at a corner store. For haggis we get ours from our Canadian friend's freezer. He buys them fresh from a butcher in Antigonish. Not quite the same as Scottish haggis but not too bad though :thumbsup:

PS Just looked at some of your previous posts and see you are headed to Calgary so you may not get these 'delights' in your supermarket and may have to shop at Brit stores and pay inflated prices.

All the best for your 'landing' :)
