Re: Can I get UK foods in the USA?
Hi,
I am just starting an online store selling British Foods worldwide from where I live in the UK.
I am new to these forums so don't want to get banned for breaching the forum rules by directly advertising this service but am looking for a good way to notify those expats living abroad of the service I can offer.
To add my comments about things like chocolate, I think we really do make the best in the uk
especially the new Cadbury cream egg twists they have just launched her, 
Regards
Brian

Marmite
Either you love it or you hate it

Where are you. Costplus/World Market has several items like Colmans Mustard, Heinz Beans, MArmite etc (they keep saying they'll be getting Branston but not seen it yet - that's what I miss the most right now!)
Though keep you eyes peeled and you'll find safeway has the odd item too.
Amazon has some market traders that offer Branston etc aswell though I try to go to them directly if I can find them.
Good Luck

The trauma of Sunday meal as a boy. Always salad with salad cream, yuk. I never voluntarily ate salad until I came to the US and was able to smother it with American style dressings.

Salad cream on chips is highly acceptable...salad cream sandwiches used to be a staple and salad cream sandwiches with marmite was essential after a good session when the bloody chippie was shut............bastards!

Do companies that import food from the UK to the US have special licensing? I'm guessing that getting your mother (or friend etc) to ship a crate of Baked Beans is a no-no as far as Customs are concerned?

Re: Can I get UK foods in the USA?
I think what I miss most is the small bakeries which have a coffee and sandwich shop attached to them. I would go in with my Mum and have a proper cup of coffee and a toasted teacake or a vanilla slice or a blackcurrent tart with cream on top or a gooseberry tart......... made me laugh when people from the offices close by would come in an order 10 rounds of toast. Now who else would do that.
