After finishing my first box I had a slight panic as Amazon no longer had twiglets. Fortunately today they have them again: http://www.amazon.com/Jacobs-Origina...1288566&sr=8-1

Damn, I should just open an on-line shop for you guys. You all miss your foodstuffs so much and I can get it here for so much less ... man I could give up my day job.

The twiglets are good value - these are the large bags and it works out at under $2.30 for each bag. Last time I looked the big bags aren't far off £1.50 each in the UK.

The first box went very quickly, I took them over to friends when they had parties, and several people ended up with a bag because they were hooked.

Edit to add: I can easily get through a bag every couple of days if I'm not careful.

Last time I went to the UK, I came back with a suitcase full of Walkers Smoky Bacon and Roast Chicken.:D

come on people, even if you didn't like them in England we must now KEEP THE TWIGLET ALIVE!

Part of being British! Forgetting the twiglet is simply not cricket, chaps....

I have a HUGE jar of marmite which my parents brought over last visit. Lasts forever, I'd only just finished the jar from their last trip the year before!

Guilty as charged! I wonder if we could commission some sprout-flavoured twiglets? - that'd calm everybody down...

Well, at least make sure that Amazon keeps stocking them. I've actually converted a few Americans - including a colleagues kids, and a friend's kid (a whole new generation of Americans to carry the torch).
