Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!

I enjoyed Oui! - it's certainly a step in the right direction but how I long to have the choice and quality of yogurts I took for granted in the UK. Most American yogurt is really very poor indeed.

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!

The only Fromage Frais I'm aware of that is widely available in the USA is Danonino in little six pack tubs. I get it for my daughter from Smart and Final and she really likes it. It's not described...

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!

I checked a couple of my local Costcos (Carmel Mountain and Poway) and no joy on the crumpet front. :( It must be just the ones up East perhaps?

I thought the Trader Joe's ones were fine - I guess I've been away too long my standards have slipped!

Re: British food

Target sold the creme egg (and crunchie) cookies last year as well - they are quite nice. Because Mondelez now have worldwide rights for Cadbury branded cookies/biscuits Hershey have no say...

Re: Moving to San Diego,CA USA

Re: Paracetamol vs Tylenol- Both The Same?

Paracetamol = acetaminophen, they are the same thing, Tylenol is just a brand name, like Panadol. Took quite a bit of getting used to when I first moved to the USA!

Re: Do English Muffins Exist In England

Thanks for the info about French Toast, which as far as I always knew in the UK was the crispbread style toast that's golden the whole way through, certainly not eggy bread.

Re: Do English Muffins Exist In England

I remember them as breakfast muffins - I can understand your confusion though as they are not so popular in England as to really warrant being called "English Muffins". I guess it varies depending...

We have had the exactly the same Braun model as you for over a decade and have had no issues whatsoever (although it was considerably more than $35 - more like $50-$60 so I remember) - those Gerries...

That's a good sign - Pimms is very difficult to find where I am in California - maybe it might get a bigger push sometime soon in other parts of the country!

I see those in Target every year but they sell out fast. They are made in Canada by Mondelez/Cadbury.

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!

Every time I've bought Terry's Chocolate Orange they are marked as made in Poland. I think they make them all there since The Chocolate Works in York was closed.

Yes, they are now owned by Ron Burkle's Yucaipa group, and they've closed most of the stores down, including my local.

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!

Re: Oh Noes! Chocolate wars...

I figure that the reason why Nestle doesn't launch Toffee Crisp properly in the US is twofold (1) The name - Americans see toffee as being like Heath or peanut brittle - hard and crunchy, not chewy...

Re: Oh Noes! Chocolate wars...

Interestingly Coffee Crisp was a Rowntrees product and Toffee Crisp was a Mackintosh product. They merged and subsequently got taken over by Nestle, hence them now being both Nestle products.

That is quite deliberate on the part of Hershey - Hershey maintains the agreement it made with Cadbury in 1988 minimally. Providing the minimum inventory levels are adhered to then Hershey has no...

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!

I noticed today that the "Chocolate Wars" affected bars (i.e. Toffee Crisp, Yorkie etc..) are now reduced in Fresh and Easy from $1.49 to 99c to clear their stock. Get them while you can!

Re: Oh Noes! Chocolate wars...

Not quite - Toffee Crisp doesn't have wafers, just crisp rice, caramel & chocolate - it is similar to 100 grand (but I prefer Toffee Crisp).

Re: Oh Noes! Chocolate wars...

I've just bought the last 13 Toffee Crisps from Fresh & Easy at 4S Ranch in San Diego. They are selling off the affected bars at 99c instead of $1.49.

Yes, Target are really good for Boots products, and they always seem to have a rep there. I wonder how long that will last given the Walgreens/Boots merger?
