Chocolates...well, milky English chocolate has no equal on this side of the Atlantic and lastly, the most exotic flavor of American potato chips are "dill pickle"....can't touch prawn cocktail, smokey bacon or cheese and onion

and I don't mind paying extra for a bit of home comfort when the mood strikes
PG tips? Hey I have 400 Tescos own Tbags my mum brought to me last year and even the cheapie generic Uk ones are better than Lipton etc...
My hubby say the same tho he thinks i make words up half the time he calls it my "Bag English butter lovers speak"
He and his dad once got out a dictionary when I said "elasticated" which they argued was not the correct pronunciation.... that is was "elasticized"!!

Re: Need British Shop in NC!!!!!
I had forgotten about the Prawn Cocktail arguement. Now if I could only find Prawn Cocktail flavor crisps (sorry potato chips) here, Mr Texas_Dave would be silenced. She loved them. We can get HP sauce here in Texas. Baked beans here - yuk! I gave up drinking the tea here, I'm a coffee convert. The tea is obviously not up to UK standards, they dumped all the good stuff in the harbor and have been drinking the dusty old remnants ever since.

Prawn cocktail snacks.........there is something so strangely unnatural about them but so delicious
the Heinz beans are soooooooooooo sweet so weird that the Heinz products are so different between the two countries
i know its the marketplace etc..... bit like finding "onion ring bahjees" in a London burger king...that was a classic
