If it's like here, they're not too easy to find, not that good and bloody
expensive.

There are a couple of shops here on the Côte specializing in British food,
the best known being in Antibes, home to a large ex-pat community. One can
find beans, bangers and many other "delicacies" imported from the UK and
sold at high prices. The only thing I ever buy there is extra-sharp Cheddar
and extra-strong mints. In spite of the large variety of French cheeses,
anyone who develops a taste for Cheddar cannot help longing for it on
occasion and the bland Cheddar found in French supermarkets is better
ignored.
The particularly American affinity for peanut butter can readily be
satisfied at any large supermarket, though ex-pat children quickly discover
that Nutella, a spread made from hazelnuts and chocolate, is a yummier
alternative. There are many tales of American backpackers filling their
packs with peanut butter to fuel their journeys through what must appear to
them, to be a gastronomic desert.

Cheese is about the only thing we bring back from UK nowadays.
that and ABM flour + Heinz tomato soup and baked beans :-)

Is it Dutch "Cheddar"?

The French form of baked beans is cassoulet. It is extremely common in the
Toulouse area.

American Boston style baked beans are made with sugar, the French
have a horror of sugary dishes except for desserts.
The cassoulet has s sausage in it and a piece of confit of duck or
goose. They are not the same type of beans, but light yellow in color.
One restaurant we go to on the Blvd Montparnasse, the "Sud-Ouest" has
cassolet, and confit de carnard. Not too expensive, 32 or so euros
including a half bottle of wine per person. Entree + main cours
+ dessert. I like their prune tarte. Coffee is included I believe.
We have never had their cassoulet, it is a heavy dish for the winter.
It is served in a iron casserole.
Funny about the food from this region, they have the lowest heart disease
rate in Europe, a third the British or American rate. Their food looks
like a cholesterol special. Some "blame" the red wine, but nobody knows
for sure.

There's the rub. There are some Brits here but relatively few, so no chance
of an expat shop, and I'll be damned if I order baked beans over the
Internet.

Peanut butter is available here in most supermarkets, but not SunPat, just
"european no-name" copies. That wasn't the case only a few years ago.

I don't think many Brits would order coffee with a meal, a few
older ones might order tea. Coffee or tea with breakfast is of
course another thing, something to wake you up!
