Here's some irony.... I bought some bacon a while back from choice foods in Ohio online, and when I got it, I found that the importer was about 3 miles from my house in Tennessee !!!!!!..... they did offer to sell me a crate at a time, but it was 100 packs of bacon, and I don't think I could find room in the freezer for 100lbs of bacon, even if it is the decent stuff

Always like to keep a few bottles of lucozade stashed away in case of emergency. :cool:

:D
I always have diet irn-bru for emergencies as well, I drink some when I feel my Scottishness or Britishness seeping away.

Ahhh..lucozade. I love that, it reminds me of being ill as a child. Why that should be a happy memory I have no idea, perhaps it's to do with feeling fussed over and cosy and with my mum.
Where do you but it here, I've never seen it.

Lots of Brit/Irish bars seem to have it if you ask (if they don't you'll get a strange look, but its worth the risk).
Some Jewel supermarkets stock it too and of course Brit shops if you have one near by (fortunately I have 2 :) ).

When I was younger we used to get Glucoseplus which was similar, but nicer, but they stopped making it years ago :thumbdown:

Frozen, $6.99 for 6 which is expensive. I bought some, I'll let you know what they taste like. But we may keep them frozen for a while and just look at them occasionally.
They also had Auntie Bessies Yorkshire puds and bubble and squeak, Youngs Chip Shop fish fingers and some frozen Indian food. All at huge cost, of course.

I'll have to go and lie in a darkened room for a while

Which Giant Eagle?

The Giant Eagle in the South Hills, Pittsburgh. Still haven't tasted them, tomorrow could be the day.

I'm pretty sure Wegmans does lucozade, along with Barley water and ribena etc. The problem with Ribena though is that I can drink a whole bottle in a 24hr period so it can get a bit costly at around $7 a bottle!:huh:

Hangovers are great when ye've got the 'bru (but not diet - that makes you sick out of your nose).
