Anybody know if there is a British food store in Chicago at all? I am flying in from Minneapolis tomorrow on business for a couple of days and thought i could maybe pick up some British food.

Any help would be great.

found this if its of any use: British Accents LTD - Carrying a large selection of UK foods and English novelties. Located at: 116 Old McHenry Road, Long Grove Illinois, 60047. Phone: (847)913-0855, Fax: (817)913-0857

Being from Minneapolis, have you ever gone in to the Brits Pub, on Nicollet Mall? Their website says that they have some Brit food (mainly candy, biscuits etc) for sale - is their range of wares rather incomplete?

Not really British as such..... but near enough ... and not in Chicago.... but they deliver.

Hey,

I was at that Long Grove store a couple weekends ago. They don't have anything there that you can't pick up in the "International" section of your local Jewel or Meyers food store.

Wherever I go to, they are always selling the same stuff: lot's of PG Tips, Branston Pickle, Pickled Onions, Ribena, Hob Nobs, Jaffa Cakes, and traditional jams/clotted creams/lemon curds.

I think if you want a large selection of English foods, you will have to use a mailing order service. Something I might consider in the future.
