Christmas food for expats is shite in the US, so Tesco to the rescue

  1. Cheers to my buddy who packaged it up in a B&Q cardboard box and wrapped it in tape within an inch of its life. Shipping costs are not great, but it’s only once a year and it makes my big kids feel like little kids again.

  2. Eh, there’s nothing wrong with American christmas food as long as you remove 90-100% of the sugar.

  3. Good haul! I live in Finland and a chocolate orange can be found here but is closer to 5€.

  4. Great stuff! My brother always ships me a box of goodies, but not this year because I’m going home for Christmas for the first time in 28 years. So excited!

  5. FYI for next year, you can get a lot of that in the US at Cost Plus World Market.
    Quality Street is shite these days though, you might as well eat the cardboard box it was shipped in.

  6. You’ve hammered that mint sauce already, I see. 🙂

  7. Aw man here I was hoping this is how I’ll discover Tesco ships to the US or something 🙁

    Thankfully I recently discovered a shop nearby that sells Eccles cakes but wildly pricey at $7 a pack!

  8. I real miss British Corner Shop. Although I saw a festive Terry’s orange at Target the other day.

  9. OP casually flexing that he’s a multi-millionaire by sending one of the large tubs of Bisto.

  10. immigrants. you’re an immigrant, not an “expat”. don’t mince words.

  11. That’s a good mate. No twiglets or cheesy biscuits?

  12. What part of the US? Here in Georgia there are multiple expat shops that import almost everything in this photo (just not the Tesco-branded stuff – did once get waffles from Iceland though haha).

  13. I’m lucky, my local grocery store sells marmite and Jammie Dodgers here in the USA.

  14. There’s are a few online stores in the US that offer UK groceries, I remember the one year ordering Waitrose mince pies amongst other things for Christmas
