I don’t mean to cause alarm but there are no hobnobs
That is a good selection
I’m surprised it has Tunnocks caramel wafers and not tea cakes
No Diary Milk?!
Where the fuck is the tango
Anyone ever seen bachelors beans?
Apart from the sweets section, this isn’t far off what the English section in french supermarkets have. All things with no local equivalency.
Similar pricing too, way more than is reasonable for staples, but when you want that taste of home, you will swing the extra.
Marmite but no Bovril.
I’m insulted.
If your salad cream looks like that, it’s probably off.
I have gen-up never seen Nestle Coffee crisp, but other than that, it’s just weird seeing all that on the same mod.
I’ll never get over finding Duchy Originals teabags and biscuits in the PX on Bagram Airbase in Kabul.
To be fair that’s pretty fucking good!!!
Top marks
Border Vienesse Swirls are god tier biscuits.
I’m astonished they have Mrs Ball’s Chutney!! (To right of curry sauces). I have trouble finding that in UK supermarkets! I was under the impression it’s from South Africa. And blinking delicious it is too.
Wouldn’t be a British section without some Indian curries and poppadoms. Also, where’s the Vimto?
The prices are mad
Haven’t seen that much in our local Publix since covid, mostly empty shelves 🙁
Typhoo makes sense for the export market, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in the UK drink it since the mid 80’s.
Huh. I should stop complaining about the price of heinz in Tesco. Do Americans really not have mint sauce?
Is that $6.29 for squash?
Good old HP Sauce
Damn I’m going to have to get dressed and go out and get a Lion Bar now. 🦁
Not a bad effort to be fair. Bonus points for the Irn Bru
I think i can start my no eating diet in america 10.99 for marmite😯😯😯
Who’s paying 5 for custard man
Now that I’ve seen a thumbnail on a small screen, all I’m thinking is that “f ngers” is a very odd advertising campaign.
Oh my god, the price of that Heinz tomato soup… I think that’s cheaper than it is over here.
Oh, tunnocks wafers! God Teir!!
Haywards pickled onions are excellent tbf.
Spot on innit
Might be the best one yet
10$ for Yorkshire tea. Worth it.
There’s always some weird product on these shelves and sure enough, there it is: peach chutney
World Market in US has more UK items
Ah, good old Pubix.
$7.49 for Typhoo lmao
So turns out Custard (the empty top left part) is a US favourite
I was going to say they had no Irn Bru but they do. I’d be happy with this!!!!
I genuinely thought Irn Bru wasn’t allowed in America. It is now. I don’t know how to feel. Bring back the original. Some weird sort of pride that I had orange shit running through my veins that was so toxic even the yanks wouldn’t touch it.
what would even be in a shepherds pie mix?
What the heck are Pigeon Peas, on the left (presumably back in the Yank section)? Do I want to know?
Borders biscuits and Tunnocks Caramer wafers are good. Which Canadian snuck in the Coffee Crisp?
Ribena is God tier.
Edit. Lion bars are awesome. Needs Double Deckers though.
They didn’t do too badly!!
Heinz UK gets its beans from North America so those beans have been on quite a journey. Also, $5.49 for a tin of tomato soup??!! They’re ‘avin a laugh.
That’s pretty good. I’ve lived in the US for the past 15 years and when I do see a ‘British’ section it’s often a mix of British, Irish, and occasionally Australian and Canadian stuff. More like a ‘commonwealth’ section
