Birds custard was mentioned, and I have some, but no Swiss roll to go with it. Its my comfort food ever since it was my poor mans desert as a student. Any Swiss roll sightings?

A sales rep from the Highland Springs consortium e-mailed me, in answer to my inquiry about availability, that they were in the process of bringing their waters to the US, and specifically in Texas we were looking at about three months out. So all you Scotch drinkers, you'll now have something to go with your lovely Speyside whiskies.

Who dilutes the hard stuff though? That's a waste of decent booze.

I was thrilled to pieces when they brought Trader Joe's to the East cost! I lived in California for a few years and wondered if they would ever branch to the Sunshine state. Their orange chicken in the frozen section is one of my favorite dinner foods! And you have not lived until you've tried their maple leaf cookies. Pay no attention to the caloric intake, mind you!
St. Pete is not that far..you could make a day trip of it. Plenty to do in eclectic Sarasota! =)

Interesting to see that product lines they share with Aldi are about the same price (my experience).

I received an e-mail from Big Apple Brits about a meat pie and sausage company operated by some British expats in Buffalo, NY.
If you're craving a pork pie, various kinds of British sausages and meat pies etc. then this might be of interest (no idea what their products are actually like though):

The e-mail stated that you can get 10% off your entire order if you enter 'BIGAPPLEBRITS' in the promo code.

That's something I haven't been able to find. Closest I have got is either Stop and Shop own-brand or Little Debbie, but both are kinda sweet.

I haven't used them either, but I've seen them recommended a couple times on the Boston Brits group along with Twaites - http://www.thwaitesmarket.com/index.php Which for the Boston lot is closer as they're in Methuen, couple mins off the I-93 Loop Connector around I-495.

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
I like how this thread keeps going around in circles. 
I think I mentioned it further back, I bought some pork pies from them, they were far from crap but they didn't have enough gelatin in them, I think so they could be shipped long distance. Possibly the ones they sell in-store aren't like that.
