Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
We got some Artisan Vermont Cheddar that is quite possibly the best piece of cheese I've eaten, too. It's aged at least three years and is creamy and really full of flavour (I didn't mention it in my first post because just not British!). Oh, and it's only $5.99 a pound!
The nearest one is over an hour's drive from us, so a 40-mile straight shot is a no-brainer!
We got a cartful (including some beer) and we usually play the game of 'guess how much the bill will be'. I said $150 and the wife said $120. Imagine our (pleasant) surprise when it was $92.
...and yes, wine selection and price is great, too. A big choice at $5.99 and up.

Hienz Beans, $2 a can at Wegmans at the moment, that's about $1.30 less than usual.
Though I'd rather get their own brand veg beans at a buck as it's a much larger can and pretty decent.

Yes, selling Heinz beans at $3.30 is just taking the mickey. Thank goodness for Fresh and Easy - I just wish they were doing better.

There's a world food store near the buckhead loop in atlanta, next door to the kroger, opposite the twin peaks bar. Got some decent stuff in there, bit expensive though.

Wegmans had a Polish blackcurrant juice, it isn't a Ribina cordial though, but it was only a couple bucks for a decent sized bottle.
Wonder if anyone has tried it? I can't be bothered as the kids didn't like blackcurrant juice.
Oh, there was also some Elderflower juice imported, which is quite lovely

Ikea do a very nice Elderflower cordial. Also some nice jams and biscuits. Picking up a few goodies on the way out kind of takes the edge off the stress of having worked your way round the rest of the store....

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
Talking of cordial though, our local hippy dippy shop had some, but it was well expensive for the regular sized bottle, but worked out quite cheap if you got the bulk bottle, something like a 1.5l bottle? Can't remember, but worked out at half the price per volume I think...but it's such a weird little place to get in and out of that we've only checked the place out the once.
