Price Chopper here in Kansas City have some "brats" that look, smell and taste suspiciously like real british sausages and they are only $1 a piece, and at the fresh butchers part of the store. I'm in love.

Found in Costco, Pittsburgh this weekend.

I bought crumpets from Trader Joe's yesterday - pretty disappointing though. Would definitely like to stumble across these at my local Costco

All I can think is that bakery goods should not still be fresh following a transatlantic journey and that they must be pumped chock full of chemicals, a bit like Wonder Bread, I wonder just how long that stuff can stay fresh, we haven't yet had a loaf go off and I won't touch the stuff so it's often in the bread bin for weeks.

I thought the Trader Joe's ones were fine - I guess I've been away too long my standards have slipped!

Most of ours are destined for the freezer, some have already been consumed.

I checked a couple of my local Costcos (Carmel Mountain and Poway) and no joy on the crumpet front. It must be just the ones up East perhaps?

After Eights, at Market Basket for $4 and at Price Chopper for the same amount are a variety of Mr Kiplings...

Whole Foods, have some pretty decent microwave curries on sale at the moment too, for a few bucks if you're a Prime member.

Walmart's got the Chocolate Oranges back in. Think they're still $2.88 each as well.

I've been in the US so long I can't even remember what most British foods tasted like. Then I spent a good portion of my life under rationing and post war austerity.
Egg and Chips for tea and bread and jam for afters,
Orowheat Extra Crispy English Muffins are pretty good. IMO
Of course you could also make your own.

If you guys miss the good cheeses of back home, like I do (American cheese = gross), Aldi have imported British cheese for the holiday season. They have Red Leicester, Mature Cheddar, and Vintage Cheddar. More expensive, but even better, is the British cheese at Whole Foods. They have mature cheddar and also wensleydale and cranberry cheese. The wensleydale is the Christmas cheese for me, at least in my family it was!

Trader Joe's usually have a good selection of European cheese including a knockout Dorset Coastal Cheddar and real Stilton. At Christmas time they also have potted Stilton.

My local Publix supermarkets carry a range of British and European cheese all year round (Wensleydale and cranberries whenever I want ), as well as Heinz salad cream, baked beans, Patak's curry sauces, Hob Nobs, HP sauce and a whole lot more!
I am going to disagree with your comment about American cheese, true the slices of processed muck offered at most supermarkets are only marginally more palatable than the wrapping but there are some absolute gems to be found out there. Tonight I shall be sampling a Californian Cypress Grove goat cheese with a thin layer of ash in it's middle (Before the joker's butt in, the ash is supposed to be there!!).

​​​​​Walmart sells Cabot's in useful chunk sizes and their Extra Sharp and Seriously Sharp are no worse than your average UK supermarket Cheddar.

Another vote for Trader Joe's. Not only do they have a good selection, but they are very affordable too!
