FAO people in Edmonton
 

A friend informed me about a place called 'The Hub Cigar Shop' just next to Hudsons on Whyte Ave.

They sell Heinz Beans for half the price they go for in West Edmonton Mall... ($5.99 for a 4 pack) they have loads of different flavours of crisps, even Pot Noodles, Salad Cream and Frey Bentos pies!!!

Check it out!

You can get salad cream everywhere I find these days. My sister has just emailed me about the availability of the stuff for when she comes to visit, it is apparently in her family a holiday essential along with a certain type of tea bag and weetabix:eek:

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

Weetabix readily available too. Two out of three aint bad.;)

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

The Salad cream here tastes different to me... maybe im just imagining it though!

The hub sells space raiders! Cant get them in Save-On!

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

I know, she just might have to put up with Tetly tea rather than the one you can only get an ooooh out of (typhoo). I am pretty sure the Salad Cream and Weetabix requirements are for my nephew, must be his fave things to eat at the mo'. I will have to tell her to bring the custard creams though:rofl:

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

Think your imagining it:rofl:

My Mum laughed when I asked her to bring me a packet of pickled onion monster munch - I only want them after watching an Idiot Abroad:unsure:

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

Thanks for the info!

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

Beef and Tomato pot noodles is the one for me.... they are not even very nice, but i get massive cravings... whenever anyone go's back thats what i request!!! The Hub only had curry and chicken and mushroom flavour but i asked the bloke to order some beef and tomato!

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

Haven't had Salad Cream , or felt to need to, for over 30 years.

I cant tell the difference between the UK heinz beans and the same baked beans you can by in Walmart they look and taste the same

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

Walmart cheap beans are as good as any I find too. I mistakenly picked up some with pork in the other day and didn't notice until after I had cooked them, it looked like someone had snotted in the bowl, so I didn't eat them, it was until OH was tidying the kitchen and he looked at the tin and said it wasn't snot it was pork:blink:

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

Surely Fray Bentos pies are a meat-product, and therefore banned from importation into Canada?

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

But do they sell cordial/squash?! A kindly colleague just returned from a UK trip with 2 bottles of Tesco apple & blackcurrant which we swiftly polished off, but it's rekindled our craving and I'm so loathe to pay $7 for Ribena in Save On (plus Ribena isn't apple & blackcurrant....(

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

no i was talking about the HEINZ baked beans you can buy

Re: FAO people in Edmonton
 

They sure do!

They sell Robinsons cordial!!!

When are you guys gonna come out for a drink with us?
