I also stocked up on Heinz baked beans, jaffa cakes, plain chocolate digestive biscuits, and Branston pickle... you know, the essentials

They have a Christmas section so I'll be placing another order before Christmas. I will not, however, spend $7 on a box of mince pies, even if I do love them.

Oh... has anyone managed to find anything that resembles a British sausage? I'm really missing sausage rolls but I can't find anything similar to a sausage or sausage meat from home, not even from the local butcher.
These are awesome;

Scottish Square Sausage - Recipe - Kenny McGovern
Potato Scones (Tattie Scones) - Recipe - Kenny McGovern

That site and this @takeawaysecret: Recipes are created by a great Scottish guy.
I highly recommend his books!

Unfortunately I found them a bit mushy and bland. Oh well, still not bad for the price. Our local butcher is something like twice the price for regular sausages but then they are better. Choices, choices.

Myers of Keswick in Greenwich Village does excellent sausages and, I believe, does mail order.

Another recipe to try for square sausage (this is a mix of beef and sausage and tasted pretty good to me)

Turns out very well

The basic difference between British and most European sausage is they usually contain around 15% rusk.
Rusk is generally not available in the USA, I asked our butcher about it and he had never heard of it. His recipe is meat, fat and a large dollop of sage.
