I am looking for a reasonable on-line merchant of Brit food.

I am currently able to get some items from an Indian food store, but they are ripping out my eyeballs with their pricing.

I live in the Florida area, though online shopping makes that superfluous.

So who do you recommend?

Do a search there are hundreds of threads on BE on this topic.

does amazon.com have the stuff you are after - they have more than you might imagine.

I have used Amazon, but best bet is to wean yourself off.

Will Amazon send me a big hot bag of chips with salt and lashings of vinegar? And maybe a buttered roll and a can of Tizer?

True, but I've tried every brand of baked beans they sell round here - and they're all shite.

Sadly not. That's why I make my own chips - in lard.

Still, the OP did prompt me to set up a subscription with Amazon for Heinz Beans, which I'd been meaning to do for a while. This may be the first time in recorded history that a Mackem did something that had a positive result.

do they readily sell Heinz Ketchup, Baked Beans and Colemans Mustard in the US? Im really worried how I am going to survive out there if they don't?

Yes they do and if you can't find then there are more then enough alternatives.

Plus some British Bacon here ; http://www.britishbacon.com/comersus...rsus_index.asp

Most Indian Stores sell Orange Pekoe Tea which to me, is pretty close to typhoo in taste and strength. The same Indian stores often sell British beans by the case and much much more..

have ordered from jollygrub.com before. Delivery not too bad (although it was mostly Creme Eggs I bought )

Was wondering where in Florida are you?

I have found British stores in several parts of Florida.

I have found the following company reliable and affordable. You can get on its email list for periodic updates of what's available, what's new, etc . . . Enjoy!

In Florida some of the larger Publix stores have English food, in the ethnic food aisle, or in the Fort Lauderdale area there are a number of British Shops although they are not the cheapest.

And Tea!!! Walmart Value Brand~~ Awesome, if you like supermarket (ASDA etc) tea from the UK then this stuff is pretty close and only about $2 for 100 bags. Other than that you can get British Blend (not sure if it is Tetley or Typhoo) in pretty well all major supermarkets everywhere I have been, even deepest, darkest Virginia, thats stronger then the Walmart brand and more like the strong tea in the UK.
