Sad to say I'm bypassing the British food section of Publix these days. I might be tempted to go for a pack of HobNobs though if the better half gets the new job she applied for

You have to look around. Only one Publix in Fort Myers stocks them and there must be 10 stores. My nearest one used to until they got a new Hispanic manager. They now have about 20 varieties of olives but no Hayward's.

The store that stocks Hayward's also has Ox Kidney, Sweetbreads and Pigs' Trotters in a seperate freezer. There must be a larger brit population around that place.

What I wouln't do for a jar of silverskin pickled onions!!! I canonly find those wanky little cocktail onions and they just dont do the trick. Love to much on them at night watching telly. The wife hates them I fart like a defective serer pipe but who cares. Yum!!!

(Well, the wife cares of course but she can be a bit of a trumpet bum herself on occasion lol)

I know really depressing. Its reached 2 quid before and then slipped back to the 1.95 mark.

My local SSSS sells UK Heinz Baked Beans at over $3.00 a tin.
