Posted on Mar 25, 09 at 04:12 AM

Just a note to say Giant eagle (Think US Tesco) is now selling British foods in its international aisle. I can finally get Branston Pickle, Rich tea and Marmite again!!!

 

Just need to get Weetabix added to their stocks and id really be in business ;)

Isn't it funny how we so miss the things we grew up on? There is a tomato sauce (NOT ketchup!) called All Gold - it is the very best tomato sauce in the world! I finally found some in the little South African shop in town - pure bliss :)  Throw out the tatty Heinz in a squishy bottle - mine comes in a proper glass bottle too and actually tastes like tomotoes.

So I celebrate with you Scott :)

The strangest thing is that i didnt even want them until i couldnt get them, it was just like back in the England when they stopped selling lucky charms a few years ago.

Some branches of Publix in South Florida, especially around Fort Lauderdale also have a small British section.   Grossly overpriced though.

The first thing I noticed when I moved to the USA in 1994 was my local Martins supermarket in South Bend, Indiana having Ryvita on the shelf.  Not only is it English, it's still made only in my home town of Poole.

You can get lots of English food from various import stores or from the internet too, but it's all pricey, and in my opinion nothing tastes the same when you are not in the right place either.
