Re: Anyone know where to find Robinson's Squash in the US?
First time out here I asked in the store for squash, and was shown a courgette (Zuchinni, or however you spell it!) Lol!
Lunardi's in Walnut Creek definitely stocks Robinson Orange Barley Squash, The one in Danville is closest to you of all of them, but still 58 miles away according to google! Some of the Long's drug stores do it too, if they are still in your neck of the woods?

I went to a few stores for Melody on my travels yesterday and I was amazed how expensive it is.
The cheapest was Draegers in San Mateo $7.99
World Market does not stock it here any more.

Word of warning.....if you get squash in the supermarket, please make sure to check the expiry date. They stock it in our local, but it's nearly always out of date, or very near the date.
We've ordered Brit stuff online too and had it come out of date...grrrr.

Re: Anyone know where to find Robinson's Squash in the US?
thanks for the heads up. i'm trying to remember what the guy at the food bank once said about expiry dates for liquids. i know with cans they can go over as well as some boxed items but liquids i would think would be more delicate.

Also, my co-worker gave me a print out this morning of the costs for Robinson's varieties if the store she also works at were to purchase them for sale to the public:
Robinson Apple Black Currant No Sugar Added - $3.64 or $43.71/case
Robinson Fruit & Barley Water No Sugar Added - $3.86 or $46.33/case
Robinson Lemon Barley Water - $4.08 or $48.98/case
Robinson Orange Fruit Drink No Sugar Added - $3.64 or $43.71/case
Robinson Orange Barley Water - $4.08 or $48.98/case
She will be asking if possible for store to order them. Don't hold your breath though. The mom and pop store itself has fallen on hard times and we're waiting any day to find out that they've gone bankrupt. But I will let what they say.

I sent an email to Fresh & Easy and was told that they won't be stocking Robinson's squash when they open in Stockton; but, they are looking into other squashes.

Thats why lol they were under selling
...to be honest I cannot see how they can sell at that price.Lunardis today Walnut Creek was $6.39 but only Barley or Orange flavour.
Oh we have loads of english food stores here, they are all over, I work on a daily basis with them, it's the price thats the problem...its crazy

Fred Meyer sell it in Washington. They are owned by the same company that owns Ralph's, so you could try that.
However QFC is also owned by the same company and they don't sell it. On the other hand, QFC do have a decent selection of British beer, so you should be alright one way or another.
