Costco in NY/CT have Cropwell Bishop Blue Stilton cheese back in for the holidays. I'll be on the lookout for real Crumpets on my next visit.

I want Walkers Baked Salt and Vinegar crisps, but can only find those online. Wish there was a store with those.

I was going to say that with the way that Frito-Lay ( the Pepsi owned US copy of Walkers or vice versa) have been expanding their range recently it might not be long before they hit the shelves but that probably doesn't help you much if you're in HK!

Most everything I buy ends up being expired. It's not my job to check expiration dates as a customer I expect everything to be fresh and dated. Seven Eleven a Big No!

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
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.

Fred Meyer is currently selling orange flavoured Pimm's (not the drink, the little cherry cakes) which are pretty similar to Jaffa Cakes.

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
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!
