Global foods is a great international food store. Our biggest and best.

It's on Kirkwood Road. It's a bear to get out of the parking lot sometimes.

There are flags hanging from the ceilings of the aisles showing you the foods of any particular country. It also has a wide variety of the basics like beans, rice, fresh fruits and vegetables, breads, meats, and fish.

It is the ONLY place in St. Louis I can find some of the Jamaican foods I look for.

If you are closer to the south city, Jays International on S. Grand near Tower Grove Park is nice as well. Much smaller, very tightly packed; but with a wide variety of all the international foods and needed basics.

Let me know if I can help with anything else. I might not be back on till tomorrow morning, if you aren't on right now.

Not that I know off.

I've seen free standing Bosnian, African, Middle Eastern, and Mexican. Otherwise, Global Foods & Jays International.

Good to know.

St. Charles is a pretty long drive from Kirkwood or St. Louis City. If you go that way, watch the highways during peek rush hour times. They get very packed that way.

[Amby 490]

Thanks! I was just looking online and it seemed like a pretty far drive. I think I'll just stick with global foods. I'm sure I'll find stuff Neil likes.

[*JG* 2]

Will you let us know so the next person who asks, we'll know for sure?

[Amby 490]

yeah definitely. I'll make note of each of the different sections incase anyone else would want to go there! my friend that is going with me is also a chef so even if we don't find anything for neil we enjoy browsing food shops. we're weird like that

There are a lot of flags hanging from that ceiling. You better take a big piece of paper!

I hope you find everything you are looking for and lots of fun extras!

[Amby 490]

I'm sure I'll end up spending way more money than I meant to because I like to try everything I'll bring a clipboard haha. jk I'll use my blackberry

I can only add that there is 3 World Markets in St. Louis that sell British items, like candies, chocolates, cookies, crackers etc. Here's a link to the three locations.

One is in Brentwood not far from Whole Foods.

Best of luck!
