Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
I have never in all my days seen that available in the US.
But I thought you guys are always beating us up about 'fresh' food. Watch it, CAd, or they won't let you in the club.

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
So just got back from the new "Fresh and Easy" 
Holy Mackerel its darn expensive, I was under the impression they were a lower end store (Yes I know Tescos) but apart from bread and some frozen veg and Ice cream, way way pricey, I forgot to even look for the Bisto I was so pissed at the prices.
Upside "Big Lots" is next door so the $1.50 Jacobs crackers got a big dent on the shelf.

Yeah, I've gotten those before.
They aren't bad, tomato based and cheaper than Heinz UK, but they are sweeter I thought. Not quite the same, but good enough for beans on toast

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
It's a long time since I posted but thought I would share this with anyone in the Boston area.
This is a very, very small selection of British/Irish goodies at Kiki's Kwik Mart in Brighton, Boston. I have been to many places that sell British stuff over the years but I was amazed at the range of stuff they have at this little convenience store. My local store is Wegmans so I can get a pretty decent amount of stuff but today I was literally like a kid in a candy store. This picture is a small sample of the stuff I bought today, I bought lots of easter eggs - maltesers, buttons, smarties etc. I spent just short of $100.00 but I could have easily spent 4 times that if my husband hadn't stopped my frenzy.
They had lots of frozen stuff but I had a long ride home and was worried about it thawing.

And in Wholefoods they have Parmalat - a long life skimmed milk - I normally get a couple of boxes in the winter in case we get snowed in. Also, I thought I was in heaven today - found a sweet ( or should that be candy? ) shop in Tysons today selling English chocolate - however I nearly fainted when he charged me $3 for a crunchie and $1.95 for a small packet of buttons!
