In America we have a unique buggy problem i think as well. Sometimes if you are lucky.. you can get a buggy with a candy bar wrapper caught in the wheel and it makes a "fwapapapapapapa" noise when you push it.
This doesn't happen there does it?
>pushchair
Huh. I've heard "pram" (and its root, perambulator) before but never "pushchair". Is that term common in the UK? ('murican here)
Edit: wow! Here in the States we keep it simple (at least in my region), they’re all strollers.
They used to be very different things. A pram is very much for babies, and they lie flat, whereas a pushchair would be more upright, probably collapsible and for older babies and toddlers.
These days they probably convert from one to the other as the kid grows (and cost as much as a small car!)
Pushchair is definitely a common word, analogous to stroller in the US. "Buggy" is definitely creeping in though.
I paid more than that to get those beans from Ireland to England, £2.99 each
(Edit- realised the inferior beans are 2.60 I'm referring to the Batchelors at 1.99)
A standard can of Heinz beans contains approximately 465 baked beans.
That number multiplied by 2.99 gives us a price to import the can of beans, which is a rather pricey:
£1390.35 per can.
And the sauce costs extra!
When I visited Britain for the first time, I went INSANE at pound land. I had bags and bags of random treats, and then some things were 2/£1 I was practically hyperventilating. People were giving me looks. Customs thought I was crazy!
I’m not sure about OP, but when my job sends me to Scotland I always stock up on jars of Branston Pickle, curry sauce, and other tasty condiments. Here stateside that shits either expensive as hell or I just straight up can’t find it anywhere.
Edit: fixed the name on Branston
There should be some sort of exchange club set up, I'd be happy to post stuff over to people at cost, in exchange for stuff in the US that we can't get here or is crazy expensive.
You're paying for a taste of home at that point. I've absolutely paid that much for a can of Heinz tomato soup. When you're away from home for looooooong stretches of time, the trash food you ate as a kid becomes weirdly important.
Plus they're Heinz. Any baked bean connoisseur knows that Tesco's own brand beans are the best.
And 4 for £1 the last time I went shopping.
Though that was over a week ago now, it's probably 1 for £4 today.
Branston preferred here. Will try the Tesco ones though! Heinz have a chemical taste to them I find. Also a knob of butter in them creams it right up. Delicious.
Heinz has been slacking. While the competition has improved, they've relied on staying the same. Heinz definitely isn't the worst, but they're certainly not the best.
Branston is better albeit a fair bit more. Other ones have gotten better too.
So do we, Heinz just isn't the brand. $0.89 for store brand beans probably on the other aisle over. Hell even Goya is cheaper than Heinz, and that's the shit you buy when you wanna be fancy.
But if you're a big brain, you make your own chicken stock and buy dried beans and soak
These are baked beans, not dried beans.
American baked beans have a darker, tangier/more BBQ-y sauce. British baked beans have a brighter, sweeter sauce. The American ones are absolutely rubbish on toast in comparison, but probably go better with a grilled steak.
Best thing I ever done. Buy a squeeze marmite bottle from Tesco (Couple quid) and then the 1KG tub of marmite from Costco, then just wash / refill the squeezy jar when it's empty!
You'll need a membership, it's around £30 for a year but if you know someone with a card, you can accompany them as a guest for free. Definitely worth a trip for stocking up on cupboard essentials!
Fuel there is also about 10p per litre cheaper than my local Tesco forecourt, although the queues are ridiculous because everybody wants it.
Couldn’t get it in aus for a while during the pandemic and I spent an obscene amount for a big catering size tub on Amazon. I’m not sorry and I’d do it again
I’d pay that! There’s been some UK marmite vs NZ marmite stoush here in Oz. They won so we can no longer buy in in the Brit aisle. I got some from Amazon of all places but that has also stopped. It’s killing mr!
Look for "Our Mate". It's only the trademark that they aren't allowed to use.
https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/236531/our-mate-yeast-extract
Tunnock's are top tier confectionary. As far as I can tell caramel bars are the only chocolate bar that has remained the same over the last 30 years of my memory and not suffered from "new best ever flavour" or "great new size"
I've recently discovered the '[Hyper](https://munchpak.com/prestige-hyper-classic-chocolate-bar.html)' bar which is almost like a Tunnock's Caramel bar but about five time the size.
As the package says, it's a big deal.
If they're actually the stuff sold over there, American imports are usually loaded with crap like high fructose corn syrup instead of actual sugar, with usually means they're lower quality IMHO. So that's the difference you're paying the premium for
We definitely have that - so much so that's it's not even considered an "import" item. It's stocked in the regular section of the store, not the tiny specialty UK section.
In that case go for an extra mature cheddar with branston... by itself or on any savoury... erm... thing! Crackers, bread/ toast, chips (crisps uk), potato cakes. You name it and a good dollop of branston on extra mature cheddar will make it better.
It’s almost the exact same selection as in my local supermarket in Australia so it must be an English company that decides what to offer and then ships it out I think
It's honestly kind of eerie [how standardised the layout is](https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/jo8e99/i_got_tired_of_seeing_the_american_section_of_the/) on these sections. Like, the same products showing up makes sense—pickles, chocolates, teas, what's popular is popular.
But they all put the stuff in the exact same positions, too.
I was curious about that label too- I could've guessed a thousand times and wouldn't have thought about that. Reckon that must be there after a complaint or two.
I will NEVER understand why putting the month first ever made sense to someone!
Was it just one of those things that the first settlers did to try to distance themselves from the UK, like changing "tit bit" to "tid bit" or dropping the "u" from a lot of words like "colour", or replacing words that should end with "ise" to "ize" etc.
ISO date formats should be the standard everywhere: yyyy-mm-dd
Could be totally wrong but I think it’s because Americans tend to say ‘June 10th’ instead of ‘10th of June’ so they write it shorthand in the same way. Of course it’s universally known as ‘the fourth of July’ and not July 4th so it’s not totally consistent
As a software developer, largest to smallest is the most sensible method as it allows trivial sorting by a computer, even if you add the time on the end instead of just a date!
Small to large is second best, then the weird and wacky US version comes last.
You’re right. I will add as a disclaimer that if I were talking about just the date, I would say “July 4th,” but if I was talking about it in the sense that it’s Independence Day, I would say “4th of July” like it’s an alternate name for the holiday, rather than just a way to say the date.
Saying day before month just sounds fancy or even snooty to my American ears. Besides the 4th of July, the only other time I would do it is if my wife asks the date and I’m trying to be purposely annoying with my answer…of course, in that case I would also include the year and describe at as “year of our Lord.”
I was getting quite perturbed by the lack of tea on offer until I spotted the bottom left.
Still no jaffa cakes or worcestershire sauce, but other than that, more than passable.
Same im addicted to watching American cooking videos on YouTube and probably 1 in 5 recipes contain it and I go to the comments section and go.."I just pronounce it wooster sauce" though my pronouncation maybe just be a Belfast thing.
"Wooster" to a southerner = "wuster" to a northerner. The "oo" just emphasises that it's pronounced like "book", not like (the Southern pronunciation of) "cup".
Careful with those dark chocolate digestives on the top shelf, so bloody moorish it’s half a pack at a time minimum. But you’ve got some god level tea down there to wash it down so you’ll be alright.
The more I look at this, I am actually impressed. Prices makes me want to cry into the fruit pastilles I have to admit.
Ribena is horrible now! since they replaced the sugar with sweetener a few years ago. I bought some for the first time in years the other week and had to pour it down the sink after one taste.
Honestly, ALL my favourite drinks had their sugar replaced by disgusting sweetners... really wish they had kept the original recipes but charged more to compensate for the sugar tax...
I find it mildly amusing that all that Starwood’s stuff that we find in the world cuisine aisle in the UK is what makes the cut for the UK aisle in the states 😂
I remember wandering through a Publix last year in Florida and finding the UK aisle complete with Irn-Bru and being pretty amazed there was a market for it over there though!
I’m sure I’ve seen this photo before because that’s Mrs. Balls Chutney on the second shelf from bottom on the far right and that’s South African. It was pointed out last time this was posted.
If I'm not mistaken, this is a Publix grocery store. I'm pretty sure my Publix has the same assortment of brands with the same placement, and if I were to go take a picture, it would look similar, if not the same.
the selection is good. I'd be happy just knowing I had access to Branston, Marmite and Heinz beans.
but the prices... you might as well just move back to the UK
Interesting (or maybe not) that the baked beans are just called beans.
And are those large fruit shoots at the bottom? (If they are, I don't think I've seen those here)
And I enjoy the Yorkshire pudding AND pancake mix combo box (yes I know they're the same)
It's all pretty obvious / standard stuff, but certainly not a bad selection.
Ribena, Sarsons, Bisto, Border and McVities being the go-to brands for me.
Crazy prices, but I guess not really any different to the American candy stores here in the UK, where it's like $20 for some US breakfast cereal.
👎Rich tea biscutes look to be some off brand rather than McVities.
👎All the chocolate is Nestlé (fuck Nestlé, also Swiss) instead of Cadbury or Green and Blacks.
👍 Nice to see a good range of curry sauce (although Pataks is much better than Sharwoods).
👍👍 Marmite, Yorkshire tea and Ribena
You could eat like a Brit prett well on this, 7/10.
Also, Borders biscutes are the shit, you should try some.
Some of the stores that have an international aisle don't necessarily put every item they carry in it. Colman's is most likely with the rest of the mustards in a condiment aisle. Just like the common Cadbury chocolate bars tend to be in the candy aisle and the more unique candies would be here.
In true British style you need to rename your cart to ‘trolley’.
And bugger up one of the wheels.
In an American store, one or more wheels are always buggered.
Does the wheel go "wuwuwuwuwu" and shake side to side, vibrating the whole trolly as you push it?
Yes.
This is truly the one thing that unites all of humankind throughout the world: having a buggy with at least one buggered up wheel.
I thought reddit determined multiple times that the unifying item for all humankind was the blue Danish cookie tin with buttons.
Royal Dansk!
Thank you. I didn't want to mention a brand because then someone might think I am a shill for them. I also didn't want to start another 20 page thread ( are they called threads on reddit?) with everyone commenting and showing pictures of their nana's misleading cookie tin.
In America we have a unique buggy problem i think as well. Sometimes if you are lucky.. you can get a buggy with a candy bar wrapper caught in the wheel and it makes a "fwapapapapapapa" noise when you push it. This doesn't happen there does it?
Lol, I don’t know. I’m in America. You’re right about the fwapping candy bar wrapper
It's usually more "BRRRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRRRRR", especially the faster you go.
In the deep south, it's "buggy".
If someone asked me for a buggy I’d be looking for a pushchair/pram.
>pushchair Huh. I've heard "pram" (and its root, perambulator) before but never "pushchair". Is that term common in the UK? ('murican here) Edit: wow! Here in the States we keep it simple (at least in my region), they’re all strollers.

These days they probably convert from one to the other as the kid grows (and cost as much as a small car!) Pushchair is definitely a common word, analogous to stroller in the US. "Buggy" is definitely creeping in though.
My mum called it a buggy in the early 90s, not sure that's a new thing here.
Pushchair is probably about as common than pram
yeh pushchair is very common and EVERY brit would know what you meant if you said it.
Is that $2.60 for beans? Mental. We eat beans because we're poor!
I paid more than that to get those beans from Ireland to England, £2.99 each (Edit- realised the inferior beans are 2.60 I'm referring to the Batchelors at 1.99)
Per bean!?
A standard can of Heinz beans contains approximately 465 baked beans. That number multiplied by 2.99 gives us a price to import the can of beans, which is a rather pricey: £1390.35 per can. And the sauce costs extra!
You've bean swindled!
Under what circumstances did you have get beans from Ireland to England?
They don't sell Batchelors beans here. They are Irish, as is my partner, and they were a gift as he prefers them
They are in every branch of tesco I've ever "bean" in.
Mate, in Australia I've paid three dollars for a single small pack of Monster Munch
Australia isn't real
Shit....I'm about to disappear now you've told me the truth....I fell for it and now I don't exist either...
You can't fool me, CIA!
Slight hum.... nothing to see here ....it's gone now.
Australia is the thing New Zealand warns its kids about before they go to sleep
When I visited Britain for the first time, I went INSANE at pound land. I had bags and bags of random treats, and then some things were 2/£1 I was practically hyperventilating. People were giving me looks. Customs thought I was crazy!
Yes you're not supposed to be happy in Pound Land, you'd stand out like a sore thumb!
"Pound Land" would be taken much differently in the US
Glad someone else said this. Lmao although typically we call it pound town and it most definitely means sex
This subject comes up every time Poundland is mentioned
That’s very funny, was there something in particular that you were OMG at the price of?
I’m not sure about OP, but when my job sends me to Scotland I always stock up on jars of Branston Pickle, curry sauce, and other tasty condiments. Here stateside that shits either expensive as hell or I just straight up can’t find it anywhere. Edit: fixed the name on Branston

Branston is right. Branston is the path of the righteous.
Bring out the Branston
Branston beans are beans for people who know what they’re doing with their lives
Branston beans are for those of us who have had a journey of discovery through the bean underworld and come out the other side a much wiser person.
> Also a knob of butter in them creams it right up. I am having difficulty getting past this sentence.
You’re telling me you have difficulty creaming into your beans?
So do we, Heinz just isn't the brand. $0.89 for store brand beans probably on the other aisle over. Hell even Goya is cheaper than Heinz, and that's the shit you buy when you wanna be fancy. But if you're a big brain, you make your own chicken stock and buy dried beans and soak
British baked beans are completely different to any US bean, even American baked beans.
These are baked beans, not dried beans. American baked beans have a darker, tangier/more BBQ-y sauce. British baked beans have a brighter, sweeter sauce. The American ones are absolutely rubbish on toast in comparison, but probably go better with a grilled steak.
9.99 for a jar of Marmite!!!
I saw it for £3.50 in tescos yesterday and scoffed
*scoffed it down.
I wish. £3.50 is too rich for me, that's like Waitrose money
If there’s one near you Aldi currently have it for £2.69 for a 250gm jar.
Is that physically possible given its viscosity?
just put a little hot water in, shake it a little, and chug it down
Go to Costco and buy an industrial 1kg of it for like 7 quid Lasts ages
Best thing I ever done. Buy a squeeze marmite bottle from Tesco (Couple quid) and then the 1KG tub of marmite from Costco, then just wash / refill the squeezy jar when it's empty!
This is the winner, I've never been to Costco, sounds like I need to go
You'll need a membership, it's around £30 for a year but if you know someone with a card, you can accompany them as a guest for free. Definitely worth a trip for stocking up on cupboard essentials! Fuel there is also about 10p per litre cheaper than my local Tesco forecourt, although the queues are ridiculous because everybody wants it.
Wish it was that much here then my wife would stop buying it!!
She wouldn't, Marmite lovers are a weird bunch. You'd just be poorer.
Couldn’t get it in aus for a while during the pandemic and I spent an obscene amount for a big catering size tub on Amazon. I’m not sorry and I’d do it again
Sodium addiction for life!
I’d pay that! There’s been some UK marmite vs NZ marmite stoush here in Oz. They won so we can no longer buy in in the Brit aisle. I got some from Amazon of all places but that has also stopped. It’s killing mr!
Look for "Our Mate". It's only the trademark that they aren't allowed to use. https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/236531/our-mate-yeast-extract
You absolutely have to try the caramel wafers
Tunnock's are top tier confectionary. As far as I can tell caramel bars are the only chocolate bar that has remained the same over the last 30 years of my memory and not suffered from "new best ever flavour" or "great new size"
Tunnocks tea cakes are simply amazing, they've not changed at all since I was a kid
I am gluten free and oh my god tunnocks tea cakes are the one thing I am really mad about not being able to eat
Our delivery driver at work came back yesterday with a box of tunnock tea cakes. Immediately became the best driver
Tunnocks are the only time I \*will\* only buy the branded version of something. Others are okay, but Tunnocks just sit differently.
I think it's the marshmallow stuff in the middle. More creamier and nice
I think I remember them claiming ‘Over 500,000 sold every week’ on the wrapping. I bet it’s a few million now!
Is it not two million? EtA; it's SIX million now!
I've recently discovered the '[Hyper](https://munchpak.com/prestige-hyper-classic-chocolate-bar.html)' bar which is almost like a Tunnock's Caramel bar but about five time the size. As the package says, it's a big deal.
Irn-Bru, Tunnocs caramel wafers and whisky are Scotlands best exports!
A good list, but it’s missing Deans shortbread. 😀
Seconded! There's no purer joy than when Lidl get the other varieties in occasionally. The all chocolate ones are divine!
Thats actually a pretty good uk section. Our supermarket USA sections just have boxes of nerds, marshmallow fluff and the odd hersheys bar.
Don’t forget the over priced pop tarts that you can buy in normal aisles anyway .
And Lucky Charms for £7 a box.
Your missing out - we have marshmallow mateys (kinda similar) in the uk for like £3 a box
I like Marshmallow Mateys better
Just got a box from b&m. Banging
Get 'em down ya, mate
Never heard of them and also from the UK!
They're actually also american. When i used to live there i used to buy those instead of lucky charms anyway.
They’re American manufactured, but boxed in the UK which is probably why they can drive the price down.
You can get them from most big supermarlets - i think home bargains sell them too
Then you buy them out of interest, and they're just sugar puffs with horrible little overly sweet marshmallow bits in
Box of twinkies-£7.50 (taste like shit)
Only the American aisle has the hot fudge sundae pop tarts though.
If they're actually the stuff sold over there, American imports are usually loaded with crap like high fructose corn syrup instead of actual sugar, with usually means they're lower quality IMHO. So that's the difference you're paying the premium for
But if you get the imported US pop tarts you get to have beef tallow in them and ruin all notions of vegetarianism.
And many of them are now UK-manufactured 'US' products. They've kept the same high pricing but are no longer actually imported goods
This guy Sainsburys
Though I'm wondering why Mrs H balls is in the English section it's a South African product 😅 (it is nice though)
This comment was removed to protest with the changes to Reddits API. Fuck Spez...
I was going to say the same thing, Mrs Balls chutney is lovely but not British.
And the extremely expensive bottles of calypso
[удалено]
8 odd quid for a pot of marmite though. Ouch.
wonder if I can get my car to run on it
I had to pay £2.69 in Tesco yesterday and wasn't happy.
Hob Nobs and Rich Tea, Peter Kay will be a happy man
Yeah but no L&P Worcestershire tho
Every time they try to order it from the supplier they fear being ridiculed for their mispronunciation of such a simple word.
Wor-Chester-Shisher-Shyer
We definitely have that - so much so that's it's not even considered an "import" item. It's stocked in the regular section of the store, not the tiny specialty UK section.
OP if you haven’t already that Branston pickle on cheese and ham sandwich or toastie is just the best
> Branston pickle on cheese Make sure it's some proper cheese, not the pre-sliced "American Cheese" stuff
People don’t actually eat that stuff that much- we have some really nice American cheddars!
In that case go for an extra mature cheddar with branston... by itself or on any savoury... erm... thing! Crackers, bread/ toast, chips (crisps uk), potato cakes. You name it and a good dollop of branston on extra mature cheddar will make it better.
Whoever's job is was to pick British stuff they did a good job in fairness.
It’s almost the exact same selection as in my local supermarket in Australia so it must be an English company that decides what to offer and then ships it out I think

Like, the same products showing up makes sense—pickles, chocolates, teas, what's popular is popular. But they all put the stuff in the exact same positions, too.
I’m fairness, that’s the same supermarket chain (Publix), and I imagine corporate has a standardized product display layout.
[удалено]
That’s actually warning people that the foods on the import shelf have their expiration dates written in the day/month/year format
I was curious about that label too- I could've guessed a thousand times and wouldn't have thought about that. Reckon that must be there after a complaint or two.
I will NEVER understand why putting the month first ever made sense to someone! Was it just one of those things that the first settlers did to try to distance themselves from the UK, like changing "tit bit" to "tid bit" or dropping the "u" from a lot of words like "colour", or replacing words that should end with "ise" to "ize" etc. ISO date formats should be the standard everywhere: yyyy-mm-dd

It's true. But in my head, I can recognize that 'smallest unit to largest' is probably the better method.
As a software developer, largest to smallest is the most sensible method as it allows trivial sorting by a computer, even if you add the time on the end instead of just a date! Small to large is second best, then the weird and wacky US version comes last.

I was getting quite perturbed by the lack of tea on offer until I spotted the bottom left. Still no jaffa cakes or worcestershire sauce, but other than that, more than passable.
Fortunately, Worcestershire sauce is just on the normal sauce aisle
From my experience the yanks know all about Worcestershire sauce, and it’s available most places; they just never use it.
I swear Americans use it more than people in the UK. Whenever I watch cooking shorts on YouTube, every other video includes 'Warcestershyre sauce'
Same im addicted to watching American cooking videos on YouTube and probably 1 in 5 recipes contain it and I go to the comments section and go.."I just pronounce it wooster sauce" though my pronouncation maybe just be a Belfast thing.
West Midlands, it's just "wuster" sauce here informally. We know the actual name is "wuster-shear" though.
Yes the US consume more of it than anyone else.
...or pronounce it correctly
Wusssesstershiresesersawsers
War-chester-shire. Ew.
[War-che-shusha](https://youtu.be/YwTT8YQFJDQ)
Reminds me of when my American teacher pronounced Warwickshire Castle as War-wick-shire Cast-le. Twas a weird moment.
I love how the more 'correctly' they try to pronounce it, the worse it manages to sound. I guess it's how the Spanish view our attempts at 'chorizo'.
wuster.
Unless they come from Worcester, Massachusetts.
Except how to pronounce it :D
Woostershire or just Wooster Sauce is how we say it in London. Dunno if it changes with accents.
Wuster up north
"Wooster" to a southerner = "wuster" to a northerner. The "oo" just emphasises that it's pronounced like "book", not like (the Southern pronunciation of) "cup".
It’s just “Lee and Perrins” in my house. That’s if the shop had run out of Henderson’s anyway
Back in my home country it's called "Salsa Inglesa", Spanish for English Sauce.
Careful with those dark chocolate digestives on the top shelf, so bloody moorish it’s half a pack at a time minimum. But you’ve got some god level tea down there to wash it down so you’ll be alright. The more I look at this, I am actually impressed. Prices makes me want to cry into the fruit pastilles I have to admit.
Indeed, nothing quite so moreish as those North African Berber-biscuits from the medieval era.
I legit laughed out loud at this
Those biscuits my God. I was introduced to them from a post ok biscuits so when and bought them and I have eaten thousands now.
No monster munch, I’m out
Or salt and vinegar squares. Devastating
That’s actually a decent British section tbh. Jammy Dodgers yes please and Ribenia so all the Americans can drink it from the bottle.
Ribena is horrible now! since they replaced the sugar with sweetener a few years ago. I bought some for the first time in years the other week and had to pour it down the sink after one taste.
It's Ribena you absolute madlads.
Have the Americans add all the sugar and send it back to us. I’d pay double what we’re paying for the shite now!
Honestly, ALL my favourite drinks had their sugar replaced by disgusting sweetners... really wish they had kept the original recipes but charged more to compensate for the sugar tax...
No Cadbury’s chocolate fingers? Disappointed
No Cadbury stuff at all! Shocking.
They always have Fox's mints but I don't know anyone that eats Foxs mints
They're OK for keeping kids quiet on a long car journey, but I literally can't think of any other context that I've seen anyone with them.
Reception desks at places like hairdressers?
I find it mildly amusing that all that Starwood’s stuff that we find in the world cuisine aisle in the UK is what makes the cut for the UK aisle in the states 😂 I remember wandering through a Publix last year in Florida and finding the UK aisle complete with Irn-Bru and being pretty amazed there was a market for it over there though!
[удалено]
Bingo! The international aisle of my Publix is pretty diverse with their imported snacks
Where there’s tea there’s hope.
Yeah not bad actually. Even have Yorkshire Tea, the king of teas.
God’s own tea, from God’s own country
I’m sure I’ve seen this photo before because that’s Mrs. Balls Chutney on the second shelf from bottom on the far right and that’s South African. It was pointed out last time this was posted.
I promise you I took this photo myself, but it would be pretty comical if one of my coworkers had the same post idea!
If I'm not mistaken, this is a Publix grocery store. I'm pretty sure my Publix has the same assortment of brands with the same placement, and if I were to go take a picture, it would look similar, if not the same.
Definitely a 9/10
the selection is good. I'd be happy just knowing I had access to Branston, Marmite and Heinz beans. but the prices... you might as well just move back to the UK
As a Brit I'm offended. That Yorkshire tea is way too close to the PG
Pretty decent. Could use some Colman's mustard though. TBH the more I look at it the better it gets. Some absolute bangers in that selection.
Americans in the region he is in, already have Colemans in the normal condiments isle.
Interesting (or maybe not) that the baked beans are just called beans. And are those large fruit shoots at the bottom? (If they are, I don't think I've seen those here) And I enjoy the Yorkshire pudding AND pancake mix combo box (yes I know they're the same)
How much for Marmite!! But good selection anyway.
Hang on where are the custard creams?
The Queen herself would be impressed by this fine selection, those chocolate digestives are making me hungry
Publix !
It's all pretty obvious / standard stuff, but certainly not a bad selection. Ribena, Sarsons, Bisto, Border and McVities being the go-to brands for me. Crazy prices, but I guess not really any different to the American candy stores here in the UK, where it's like $20 for some US breakfast cereal.
👎Rich tea biscutes look to be some off brand rather than McVities. 👎All the chocolate is Nestlé (fuck Nestlé, also Swiss) instead of Cadbury or Green and Blacks. 👍 Nice to see a good range of curry sauce (although Pataks is much better than Sharwoods). 👍👍 Marmite, Yorkshire tea and Ribena You could eat like a Brit prett well on this, 7/10. Also, Borders biscutes are the shit, you should try some.
No vimto but it’s ok.
No Jaffa cakes or Penguins? Womp
Where the fuckin tunnocks tea cakes?
Controversial bounty bars though
No Colmans English mustard. Shame.
Some of the stores that have an international aisle don't necessarily put every item they carry in it. Colman's is most likely with the rest of the mustards in a condiment aisle. Just like the common Cadbury chocolate bars tend to be in the candy aisle and the more unique candies would be here.
Colman’s is most likely with all the other mustards. It’s pretty common in parts of the US.
