Default British food

I've been searching for a website where I can order from a good selection of British food with reasonable shipping rates.. I've gone through a few, including Amazon. What i really miss is crumpets and Boost bars! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Crumpets you can sometimes get in Trader Joes and they're okay.

Careful what you wish for. Boost's were my sons favorite until we moved here, then for every birthday and christmas he was sent about 20 of them, he's sick of them now

If you want specific foods - such as Marks and Sparks Christmas cakes/puddings the following site (based in the UK) is not super cheap but is super efficient

We had the same cravings for crumpets after a trip back in the summer but are impossible to find here. Did find a recipe online and have been making my own with great results

Can you get to a Trader Joe's? You will find English crumpets in the bread aisle there.
