Re: Brit food in supermarkets
Pot Noodles wasn't a British Invention if I remember. I see them on sale in all the Asian/Korean stores around here. Gotta "guess" the flavor though but then it's a Pot Noodle, not designed to win a Best taste Food Category 
I might pick one up and see!

If your up in Maine, there's a co-op in Belfast that makes fantastic sausages, the bloke will even custom make them for you if you give him a couple days notice and he does all kinds which were lovely.

Re: Brit food in supermarkets
Our WHole Foods Market sell Irish Bangers. Check out your whole foods. Fruit Pastilles yesterday pulled out my temporary Crown and the pain to put it back was excruciating
I get Brown sauce, Branston pickle and Yorkshire Tea bags from our local Publix - it's great!
There is a store here called 'World Market' and they have a curry sauce that is actually made in my small home town back in England - it made me smile when I saw that.
I also picked up some Rowntrees Fruit Pastelles - sigh.
American beef is lovely but I don't half miss our british bacon and british sausages.
Does anyone know where I can pick up some decent sausages - I'm missing cumberland sausage with mashed potatoe, gravy and mushy peas.

I buy, from my local Indian Store, Heinz beans by the case, for $22 for a case of 24. That's cheaper than the local beans

Trader Joes does some alright chicken ones, not the same, but good at least. Whole Foods also do some decent ones, little pricey though.

I've come to expect pricey. The British section in Publix sets us back a bit.

Fresh n easy has some decent sausages (think style, but pretty close to decent UK ones). They also do "thick" bacon - great stuff with ketchup

Re: Brit food in supermarkets
I actually like both. Nice to mix it up a bit!
and I may have mentioned it on this thread already, but fresh n easy fresh tapioca and rice pudding are lovely. I tried the trader's ones this week and (although my wife preferred them) I found them to be too sweet and gloopy.

Re: Pictures of the Brit Shelves
I want some Irn Bru 
Krogers here in Fort Worth have a British section, but it was expensive. Something that would cost £1 back home, they were charging $6 for it

Hey I went to whole foods and got some Irish Bangers - they look good. I haven't eaten them yet but I will do soon with mashed potatoes, mushy peas and oxo gravy (both from Publix). Drooool.

Re: Brit food in supermarkets
I think now there are so many Publix with a brit section, if you have a Publix without, go ask the manager to contact one of the Publix's that does and he will try to accommodate. No skin off his back
