It's Friday - I hardly feel like doing any work. So I went snooping for a place to buy pastina, and found this site!

I asked Simon what we should bring back from England in September - he said nothing!!!!! He loves American food, but I'm sure he will fill up in September, then come back here and wish he had brought stuff back!

There are international stores in the USA. there are also regular stores like Kroger and albertsons that have the international stuffs.

Not a lot of Brit snacks here in the USA though. Or if there is, it's expensive.

talking about i lived in the UK 10 years. I saw everything. it was pricy.but, thats why its called

imported.

There's a random section of brit foods in a Safeway out here where I live - not in all Safeways, just this one, out-of-the-way Safeway. And MAN is it expensive. $5 for a box of malteasers.

That price won't stop my fiance though, he loves those things.

Also in Dallas - used to live North side, and I knew where we could go to buy pretty much anything (except Crunchies, which are my very favorites) at Kroger or Central Market. Moved west - now I don't know where anything is.

Where in Dallas are these stores you speak of?

Do you know what I hear? "England? Do they even have a cuisine?". So I make a toad in the hole or sticky toffee pudding to illustrate that "Yes, they DO", hehe. I friggin' love toad in the hole, it's perfect for ANY meal [with Bisto...mmmh]. I can't count how many times I will just make a muffin tin full of Yorkshire puddings,make up some Bisto and just eat THAT for an entire meal.

I've got a whole bunch of U.K. food sites bookmarked on my other computer, maybe I'll post all the links sometime. Each site has varying degrees of availibility but I'm so obsessed with getting the food I want that I'll shop between all of them for the best prices. They vary so much, as in one site will offer a Mint Aero for $3.50 and another will offer it for $2.50. I'm sick because I'll literally sit there for ages clicking between sites to compare. I swear, the cheaper I can get an Aero over here, the better it tastes.

I do have a British food store nearby and I feel lucky. Since my honey is from Westcliff On Sea and the owners are from Kent, they will knock loads off our total. I think they are understanding about my worrisome Bisto addiction...
