Their pound plus chocolate is really good for baking too, especially the dark choc, 72% and $5, bargain.

Peeps may want to carefully check the shelves at their nearest Big Lots.
We've found two stores with a small but interesting "international section" which has features things like custard creams, bourbon biscuits and more. $1 a pack.
Also, as we were reminded the other night "The Christmas Tree Shop" - which doesn't do Christmas Trees - does some Brit foods too, like Terry's Chockie Oranges for around $2 and more biscuits, snacks etc

I do have a question how do you explain 'Spotted Dick"
my BF thought the name was vile enough to not even try it

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
I bought some from our local store yesterday - they are made in POLAND ! 
Since when have the Poles been good at chocolate - the Swiss, Belgians, even the French (at a push) but the POLES? I know Terry's packed in their operation in York a few years ago - but surely they could have done better that that. Terry's of Poland doesn't quite have the same ring to it...

The spotted bit is obvious, the raisins, the Dick part, that I thought was German related, for dough because in German it sounds like dick.

Maybe try World Market in Santa Fe, NM. I remember finding a whole bunch of British stuff there 8 years ago. Haven't been to one since, but I think there is also one near us in Seattle.

World Market has got some great cheese, and they sell Weetabix also (although I see these cropping up in Smiths in the normal cereal aisle!)
Although its clearly not a necessity, it would be nice to be able to find packets of things like Angel Delight and gravy is a big one too!

You'll probably have to travel to Colorado Springs, CO or Santa Fe, NM for the nearest World Market, Costplus. I have been driving between Austin and Denver for the last 18 months and pass through Ratan and Trinidad.
