If you have a Kroger in your State they sell PG Tips.

Ours doesn't.

Who said M&S is equiv to Nordstroms?

If yer movin to FL, there's no shortage of Brit stuff here.

Costco carries Brit stuff now and then

Quality, affordable cheddar is a bit of a rarity unfortunately

I want my pork scratchings. Not the 'real' (hairy, hard) kind but the KP brand or Mr. Porky. I looked around last night, they are like $3 a pack when shipping is all done.

Haha - yeah - the orange stuff was like $7 for something we would pay maybe just over £1 for At least we know we can get it if need be... maybe if we get desperate

I miss Red Leicester cheese.

Since hubby found me a proper cheese grater I'm happier - I could never get used to that "dusty" already grated stuff. The only cheese I kind of like here is Monterey Jack, but it's all pretty bland really.

Hmm I remember buying grated cheese and it had a great big lump of mould in it... kinda put me off a bit I must say...

I think I may have mentioned my business idea of becoming an importer of fine British cheeses? I would offer delivery on motorcycle (LA area only) and be called Cheesey Rider.

Sounds vaguely familiar...

Aren't there crazy customs laws though about using pasteurised milk or something along those lines? Some weird reason that all American cheese tends towards the "rubber" variety...

Yes - so you aren't really gonna get good goat's cheese and what not. Some places have decent stuff, I don't know how strictly it's enforced, or if they are dealing with illicit substances. Proper Iberico jamon was banned until recently. I find it strange that Europeans have eaten this stuff for the millennia yet we Americans need to be protected by the USDA.
