If we all know where they are, we can convince the market to keep them as a standard stock item, right? I will hold off this month but I can't promise more than that haha

Cost Plus World Market has lots of stuff sprinkled throughout the food section... nothing really surprising... EXCEPT I was in there today and found they were having a 50 percent off sale on Punjana... not a drop left, folks, and none elsewhere in town or obtainable from the distributor.

They did say, though, that it looked like it was going through a packaging change (which it is, to say "Thompson's Family Teas") and they expected it will come back in after a while. Woot.

Brits in Lawrence, KS. It's the best place I know of for all sorts of British foods. I found Yorkshire tea (yay!) Weetabix, Ribena, loads of Cadbury's chocolate, Lilt, Tango, Tizer and Irn-Bru, Skips, Quavers, massive selection of Walkers crisps, Bisto gravies and cheese sauce, Coleman's seasoning mixes. I was very pleased! So pleased in fact, that on the way back home from the 80 mile round trip, I decided to show a fire hydrant how much I loved it (and I'm on my driving instruction permit, but that's another story lol)

I spotted some Golden Syrup in the little cheese store near us. That's definately a first. We always had a tin in when I lived at home and my Dad used to have it on toast Not sure what anyone uses it for, but it made me smile to see it.

Best thing on crumpets & on porridge. Vital in flapjacks.

Best "measured" out with a metal spoon that has been dipped into boiling water.

There is something soooooo wrong about putting sweet stuff on Yorkies and crumpets.

Yorkies and gravy. Crumpets topped with grilled cheese.

Flapjacks and hobnob style oat biscuits, peanut brittle...anything that calls for karo syrup.

Down our way, it's in a lot of stores, but Wegmans sell the easy squeeze plastic bottles for the same price as the tin and you get the same amount of syrup.

Flapjacks of course, I love flapjacks. Never made them like, then again I never get time to make anything.

I'm with Jersey, gravy is the only thing that should go on yorkshire puddings. My SIL has dessert ones with strawberries and vinegar

In Normandy they make it with apples instead of cherries and then drink Calvados with it....

I make it with apricots and have Kecskeméti barackpálinka with it. But that's a bit off-the-wall and Hungarian (not necessarily in that order).
