Does anyone know where I can get Marks & Spencer Tea Cakes & M&S Belgian Chocolate covered American Peanuts in the USA - store or online?
(Two things from the UK that I genuinely miss)

I have spent 45 minutes traipsing through a bunch of British food threads on this site and looked through the online retailers that some have listed, but I found none that sell these foods that are in the USA.

I don't want to order from the UK as delivery costs are quite high and so I was hoping there is someone here in the US that sell these online.

M&S online do deliver directly from the UK, but it costs £15 and I was hoping it would be cheaper elsewhere.

I am in NC.

This place has M&S food:

I don't know what their shipping rates are, but they ship worldwide.

Thank you but I didn't want UK mail order.

M&S don't have stores in the US so you're out of luck.

Hi,

Do you know anyone in the UK or bound to visit the US from the UK soon who could bring it over/ post it to you? That would probably be the easiest way.

Ooh - why did you have to remind me


Possibly you could try baking a tea cake, quite a few good cooks on here who might have a recipe.

Sorry!

I suppose the yummiest things are the ones that come to mind when deprived of several old indulgences.

I hope these peanuts aren't sent to the UK from the US, coated with Belgian chocolate and then shipped back to consumers in the US!!

Volt61

Nope, but yes that's one temporary solution.

Don't you have family in the UK or at least good friends who can make monthly shipments to you of the sweets you miss?

I loved their flapjacks as well. I assumed that was an American thing, but they don't seem to have them here.

Volt61

Yes, but not on speaking terms so a grocery order unlikely to be fulfilled.

That's called 'burnt all your bridges'.

Or your cakes, for sure!

There are always expat Americans in the UK hankering for proper Oreos and stuff. Maybe you can set up an exchange program with someone on UKYankee?
