Re: bringing food over
Try Gary's in Bernardsville or Madison...he sells quite a good selection of British goodies. Normally there's more of a selection in Bernardsville. If there's anything you particularly want ask to speak to Gary...he'll do his best to get it for you.
Edit: Just looked at your past posts. Bernardsville is south of you on I287. I presume you know Willowbrook Mall...take 23 North...Gary's just opened a new large store on the righthand side a couple of miles up from the mall.

Re: bringing food over
Gary's have selection boxes at Christmas and Easter Eggs at Easter.
Parsippany has a large Indian population and Indian stores tend to stock British stuff. There's one near the junction of Rt 46 and Rt 202...not the main plaza but a little lower down Rt202 at the traffic lights there's a small strip mall. I've never been in the shop but there used to be a small Indian store there. From what I've read on here you have to watch the sell by dates in these shops.

Re: bringing food over
Shoprite is the worst...yuck. Look for Super Shop n Stop supermarkets...there's one on the junction of Rt 202 and Rt 10. All their stores have or used to have an international section...but many have moved the goodies to the Irish section.

Re: bringing food over
I think the only thing you would have trouble with bringing is Meats or any uncooked meats. My mom brings chocolates, candies, potato chips, canned goods and Oxo's and all kind of things over when she comes and also the packets of gravy mixes. She brought some suet once.
Hope that helps.

Re: bringing food over
Well I guess we are rather lucky here in Las Vegas then because we have 2 store that sell a lot of British products. One is an International Market and has things from all over and the other is strictly British. Wonderful stuff but the International store is by far cheaper.
