We have a store nearby that seems to be a chain store, I think it's called Cost Plus World Market, they sell unusual furniture and other housey bits, but also have Heinz Baked beans much cheaper than in any Brit shop, Heinz Tomato Soup, Heinz Salad Cream and HP Sauce, tinned Ambrosia custard and Cadburys that Hersheys haven't got their filthy little hands on made in South Africa and tates divine! But, no bread

I think they have them elsewhere "Albertsons" they stock loads of British goods:
Birds Custard
Trifle mixes
Ribena
Lemon barley water
lots of sweets
lots of british beers & cider
To name but a few. I have only just moved back here from UK before I was in Arkansas and could only get British goods from expensive special stores but here quite a few sell stuff. I'm happy.

Actually, its the Super Fresh in Towson that has the wee British Section.
We also have Whole Foods and Trader Joes here as well.
I also noticed that Safeway (as well as WF) is now carrying Patak's curry pastes, but as I've got about 4 Indian restaurants near where I work and a decent one near home that delivers, I don't cook much of it at home.
Luckily, husband pharrya doesn't eat much in the way of baked beans, and I eat more HP Sauce and Branston Pickle than he does!
Aorund Christmas, I found some "made in England" limited edition Orangey and Minty Kit Kats in the Farm Store of all places, but have yet to see them since. If anyone knows where to find them here in the US/east coast, please post...

Safeway, Boston Street, Baltimore:
Weetabix (Oh yes), Marmite, and also the Tetley British Blend tea - Also some Cadbury chocolates, but those are actually 'subcontracted' out to Hersheys. Note that these are all found in the exotic foreign foods section.
The Giant store in Towson MD, has a small section that includes Yorkie Bars...

You lucky thing, we have no indian resturants here in my area of Florida and Orlando is 7 hrs away. I miss Indian food soooo much.
We can get the tinned but not the same

Flyergirl....You beauty !!
On Saturday, on the strength of the weather report (mid-70's and sunny) we decided to drive to Ocean City for the day.(about a 3 hour drive)
They got it totally wrong and it was cloudy all day !
However..........on the way there we stopped at Giant in Annapolis and Bingo........Crumpets.
My apologies to you if you went in there on Saturday afternoon looking for them, cos we emptied the shelf (selfish I know).
I now have 16 packs of crumpets in my freezer, and to top it all they were reduced from $2.99 to $1.59.
Crap weather but due to the elusive crumpets, a successful day.
Thanks again
Roger

Do you have any Trader Joe's branches near you? I know they sell English crumpets. At least the branch near Silver Spring did (sorry, can't remember where it is. I think it's west of SSprg).

Sarah,
Thanks for the info, I looked at their web site and will certainly be popping in there. The nearest is Springfield which is only 1 hour away. looks like an interesting shop.
Cheers

While we're on the subject I haven't been able to find an electric kettle anywhere. The only thing I can find are those ones that go on the hob and make the God awful noise when they've boiled.

No worries about clearing the shelf though, I have one packet left in the freezer and Giant are sure to restock again, (what stars)!
Enjoy your scrumptious crumpets.
Makes note to self to wander around Trader Joes in search of more yummy stuff for future Brit food fanatics

I just bought one for the office yesterday at K Mart- Proctor Silex $14.99
We bought the one we have at home- well we registered for it at Target. Target has a few models- Bodum (the one we have) and Michael Graves (house brand), that all run around $30.
I saw some at Wal Mart a few weeks ago. You could probably order one online if none of these chains near you carry them.
