Finding your comfort foods from the UK in the U.S.
I have a very silly question to ask. I am an American married to a Belgian with an English heritage. Currently we live in London for the past two years and are in the process of going back home to NY!! I cannot wait as I am 8 weeks pregnant with no family here or friends really.
Even though he is Belgian he **LOVES** his Heinz baked beans with his steak and chips. I personally thing they are disgusting and volatile. I prefer my B & M bar-b-que baked beans back in the states. But that's just me
We were in NY for the holidays and he loves D'Agostino's Supermarket, and the Food Emporium. The quantity and quality of the food just amazed him. Couldn't believe the selection especially after 7 pm. He just loves the steaks, veggies and fruits. But one thing is missing his Heinz Baked Beans. I promised him I would search high and low for him to make sure we can get them. Are they available in the states? So far I haven't seen them in any supermarket where I live in NY yet.
For those who cannot do with out their beans on toast, etc. any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. As I'd like for him to be as comfortable as possible in NY/ U.S. Not like I felt in London. As it's a horrible feeling one that is very hard and very trying at times on a relationship.
Cheers to all..

There are plenty of places you can order them from. They will more than likely be more expensive and I am sure somebody more local to your area will be able to tell you where you can get them. But here is a place they can be ordered from http://www.britishgourmet.com/ and its just one of many places on the web for Brit food.

Thank you. That's great. Yeah, Bush Beans are another ones of my favorites besides B&M. I had my husband try them when we were in NY and he didn't like them.
I'll make a note of that website. Thanks.
Cheers.

There's probably a handful of British or Irish specialty foodstores in the NY city/boroughs area. They'll be in the Yellow Pages or online (please conduct a search).
"World Market" is a good source for British tea, Heinz Baked Beans and British chocolate. However, when I've checked the choc is British branded but made overseas (Australia in most cases).
A cheaper source for Heinz Baked Beans could well be your neighborhood Indian grocery store. During my visits to such stores, their price for aforementioned beans is less than World Market. They sell other British foods and British products (but not such a great selection of foods as World Market).
Also, what does your husband think of the American take on a "Belgian waffle"?

Re: Finding your comfort foods from the UK in the U.S.
Hello
I buy my Heinz baked beans from our local Meijer supermarket. They have a section there two isles long with world wide foods. I can get the beans for $1.56. Also Robinsons barley water, PG tips and quite a few other British things. They also have Chinese, Indian, Polish, Italian, German, Swedish and Spanish sections too. It's in the next town but well worth a trip for the baked beans. What is more they taste just like the ones back in UK. I don't know if they import them or not but they taste like the original to me!

I'm assuming that you're going to be living in Manhatten?
There are a couple of places in Greenwich Village where he can go for his 'Brit Fix'! Of course, none of these places are inexpensive. I found some UK Heinz Baked Beans in a New Jersey supermarket yesterday at $1.85 each (the "King's" supermarket chain) along with some Marks & Spencer's tea bags - but I just think it's a one-off shipment for the Christmas period.
There is a traditional British Butcher's shop called "Myer's of Keswick". He can get proper sausages there, bacon, steak and kidney pies etc. There are also food items such as the HP and Heinz Baked Beans, tins of spaghetti in tomato sauce, Bird's custard powder etc.
Their website is:
http://www.myersofkeswick.com
Even better, in very close proximity is the authentic British chippie, "A Salt and Battery". Right next door to it is the twee English teashop, "Tea and Sympathy" which serves an afternoon tea with the three-tier cakstand with assorted sandwiches and cakes, with tea or coffee. It always seems to have a queue of people waiting for a table (it's not very spacious inside).
Next door is their British store selling lots of 'souvenirs' that you would find on Oxford Street. However, they also sell the Baked Beans, custard powders, orange squash, Cadbury's chocs, Easter eggs and Christmas selection boxes in season etc. etc.
Look here:
http://www.teaandsympathynewyork.com
http://www.asaltandbattery.com
There's also a chippie in Brooklyn somewhere but I can't remember what it's called (maybe they'll know at the Brit Consulate in NYC?).
Often if you're out and about in the Tri-State area, the larger chains of this supermarket - "Super Shop N Stop" often stocks British goods (eg. Jacob's Cream Crackers, Jaffa Cakes, Heinz Beans etc).
"Wholefoods" supermarket chain sometimes stocks the Heinz beans too, but it's hit and miss if they have them on the shelves when I go there. A great place for a curry is a little town called "Iselin" just off the Garden State Parkway in NJ, the same turning for the Metropark if you're going South. On Oak Tree Road there is a huge Indian expat community, even they call it "Little India". Some of them were merchants in Southall, London and bring in stuff like "Irn Bru", 'Lucozade', 'Vimto', Heinz Beans, 'Pears Soap' etc. etc. at very reasonable prices.
There is also a huge "International Food Mart" in Jersey City (near the PATH trains and Light Railway). They have food from all over the world and it's incredibly fresh and inexpensive. They have stuff from the UK and Ireland....and if you fancy some Red Kidney Bean or Sweetcorn Ice Cream manufactured by Wall's in the Philippines, then it's the place to find it!!!
Hope this helps!

Now that I think about it, where I am originally from outside of NYC there's a city near my town called Yonkers. There's a **huge** influx of Irish immigrants in the Yonkers area near McClean Avenue where there are numerous stores that import all loads of stuff. Thanks for the thought on that.
Cheers.

Heinz beans from World Market is your best bet, you can also get Heinz Tomato Soup.
If not, then try Heinz Premium Vegetarian Beans, most supermarkets stock them, they are practically the same as your regular British Heinz baked beans. Called "vegetarian" because Americans love to put meat and other stuff in their tinned baked beans, this line is meatless and is marketed as kosher!.

If I can get him a lifetime supply of Heinz beans he'll be happier than a little piggy in his mud pile...
Everyone has been very helpful. Thank you. Our move won't be for about a couple of more months so I have some time to stock up while I'm fixing up the house in NY.

I'm American and my fiance British - and we're both quite lost without the UK style baked beans. I've tried all the American "vegetarian" styles and they still add the barbecue/honey flavor to them so they're nothing like the tomato flavored sort.
We're in upstate NY and I found them in the Wegman's supermarkets for $1.69 a can. I think you'll do just fine as long as you go to a huge supermarket that actually has a "world" food section. It's somewhat bizarre wandering through the "world" aisles and seeing Heinz beans, crumpets, Lucozade and Ambrosia custard, but I'm just glad they're there!
Good luck to you!

Hi Maggie
I am not sure what part of Chicago you are, but out in Elk Grove right near United Airlines HQ there is a large empty field with a large Meijer sign in it. So I am assuming they are going to build one there.
Me, I love Meijers! Better than Tesco anyday!

I went to the British store in Long Grove Chicago. Its called British Accents and they have a website and do shipping. The guy was really good and he said he could get anything I wanted as long as I didn't mind waiting 6 weeks!!!!
They had Christmas puddings, Mince Pies etc and said they would be getting some Cadburys Easter Eggs very soon
