Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
Was pleasantly surprised to find mcvities digestives (plain and chocolate) in a walmart in rochester mn.
Absolutely blown away to find them in my local walmart in wisconsin a few weeks later. Civilisation has reached the midwest at last
Presumably if they have them here they must have them at all/most locations nationwide?

We have them here in Charlotte, NC as well as HP sauce

It's the Upper East Side. It's really a ripoff.! Morton Williams has some Candy as well as Economy candy. I figured since it was in my neighborhood I would check it out. The staff weren't very friendly either. I've been by Tea and Sympothy but never in it. The Butchers Block which is just a short train ride away in Queens has much better prices. I posted a comment on Facebook and my UK friends have informed me packages will be on the way!
Nobody is allowed to come and visit us unless they bring the biggest box of PG Tips with them.

I'm still getting a lot of stuff not available locally shipped from www.britishcornershop.co.uk.
Gets here pretty quick and the prices are very reasonable.

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
They opened up a British candy store near me called the London Candy Company. Such a ripoff! $6.00 for a small bag of Maltesers. $2.50 for a Cadbury egg, $7.50 for Penguin Biscuits and $3.00 for a tiny pack of Galaxy Minstrels! It was my husbands birthday so I bought them. Unbelievable!
If you live in New York I suggest a trip to Niagara-On-The-Lake.

That always cracks me up. What really cracks me up is they have Canadian stuff like Coffee Crisps in the ethnic food section.

I can get US made Cadbury eggs anywhere but the chocolate isn't the same.

Haha, I currently work for Publix - love their British sections.
Irn Bru, Yorkshire Pudding and Club biscuits - pretty much your 3 staples.
Lucozade for when you are feeling poorly.
It's awesome.
