Think its called the British Food and Cigar Store or something like that... p near Whitlows and Ri Ras and has Union Jacks on the front...

I love that store though have found that world market carries some of the crisps, candies and such much cheaper.

There is also a nice little takeaway place in Alexandria called "The Chippery" run by a Northern Irish fellow that also carries some comfort foods (crisps drinks and such)

Where abouts is the world market? all i really like getting is irn-bru typical scotsman!!

They are everywhere or so it seems. There is one in fair lakes, one in Chevy chase pavillion (across from mazza gallerie in dc/md) another in the 7 corners area and one on 123 in tysons corner. I'm sure there are a ton more.....

Hello guys,

I recently moved to DC from the UK on Monday. So i'm still getting used to everything, but was wondering, what are the best food/farmer markets to go to? How do they compare with the supermarket prices?

Thanks

Hi

Eastern Market (Orange/Blue Line - Eastern Market) is an old traditional farmers market with a lot of variety, but you will pay a premium v. the grocery store for some items. Best on the weekends. As the weather is turning colder you'll find fewer and fewer markets that will be open.

The cheapest prices on things like fruits and vegetables are often found at the asian and hispanic markets, where the main clientele refuse to pay US grocery store prices for those foods. Of course, it's a bit rougher in those places (they aren't exactly the cleanest) and don't be surprised if you find a few items that you simply have no clue as to what they are. Great Wall in Fairfax, Super H Marts and Hahn ah Rahms all over, and, crap, can't think of the name of the other one.

There is a Wegmans out by Dulles Airport and a few others opening soon in the DC area. They have quite a selection of items and even a UK / Europe section where you can find some local items you might be familiar with.

Thanks for this.

Do you know what the markets in the Asian & Hispanic areas are called or what the areas are?
