For bread that is not sweet I've found the best thing to do is buy a 'french loaf' from most supermarkets. Its annoying because it is not thin sliced but at least it tastes like proper bread.

The best sausages I've tasted so far are from the butchers counter at 'Sprouts' but again they are a little bit 'American'.

I eat bread from Costco, it's the wholegrain one. Tastes fine to me. After living in Japan for 4 and a half years I just got used to rubbish bread. I didn't really notice any difference when I went back the UK in Nov, having said that I don't eat toast/bread that often so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me. Very rarely use it for sandwiches, so maybe that's a difference too. I have it with Marmite - so maybe that makes it a bit sour.

La Jolla is nice, but very expensive. I like North County - Rancho Bernardo way. Also expensive.

There are quite a few expats in SD. There are some groups that meet monthly (I think) at a pub downtown. I know a few round here too.
