LOL I had a revelation this week as well.... Carrs wheat Crackers are almost if not identical to McVities Digestives

They are very similar. I learnt that the hard way by buying a box thinking they were something else

No relation to them. Their story was reported locally:

The Fresh Market near me has lots of items. I'm particularly fond of the Devonshire Cream even though it's expensive and comes in a really small jar.

They are located at 25961 US Highway 19 N, Clearwater, FL.

Other locations can be found at their website http://www.thefreshmarket.com/stores...px?q=a#Results

I have only shopped at this one, so I don't know if the other stores offer the same items, but I believe that they may.

I got a tub of birds only because the local Indian grocery store had it for a couple bucks...my sister then came for a visit and brought me another one

Hardly used them, but now and again, for a apple crumble, it sooo hits the spot

Anyway, now we've moved, not found much in the way of cheap, there's no Indian grocery store or much of a population in this area, which is a shame. Local Stop and Shop has decently priced Aero bars and Heinz Beans at a couple bucks a tin it's no different to B&M beans, but the Robinsons Barley water costs a fortune and that's the one thing I do rather like to get in the summer.

There's a place in Maine that make pretty decent attempt up in Belfast...but there used to be a bakery in Searsport that made fantastic cornish pasties and all sorts, especially pork pies, the baker was a Brit, but then retired and sold the business, new owner turned it into an Italian bakery and I think went out of business.

local grocery store has a McVities Brit knock off for a couple bucks...can't remember the name, think it starts with an R though.

This really got me going lol! Drove down to the local Fed Meyer and there it was - HP Fruity! Got some curry powder, Coleman's mustard and Bachelor's mushy peas while I was at it.

Then I noticed a tin of spotted dick (a neighbour was going on and on about spotted dick during a recent fishing trip to Alaska so a few of us are going to get together for a liver 'n onions night - the spotted dick and bird's custard will round off the meal perfectly )

Hubcaps

The only thing from the UK I have missed are Oxo cubes (available in Fred Meyer) and gravy granules (in World Market). Ok they cost a small fortune but they're cheaper than buying them on Amazon. I don't miss anything else from the UK.

There is a Bartell Drugs store at the bottom of my office skyscraper. I popped in for some 'drugs' today and found they sell Cadburys chocolate bars; Dairy Milk, Fruit n Nut, Caramello and a Dark one.
I guess these are probably just Hershey clones but I bought them all to find out!
