I thought everyone knew what gelatin is? Not horses hooves though, very few Western countries use horse as a source for any food product.


I probably did know that... I have a feeling I may have erased it from my mind though, or buried it in the back somewhere... And rightly so! unsure.gif

The bovine/porky stuff goes for anything gelatinous yeh, so marshmallows, jello, pudding, etc smile.gif Mmmm fine with that. You guys don't get pork rinds. We get pork rinds.



They have pork scratchings - which are far better. good.gif

I see Haribo everywhere!

Haribo macht Kinder froh
und Erwachsene ebenso!

gummi bears are the BEST... I remember my first time eating some 'proper' ones when I first visited Germany in 1991 *old*

always looked for Haribo after that, even though they were very hard to get in Australia for ages wink.gif

Normal Haribo - yes. But I have not seen Fizzy Cola ones ANYWHERE. Or any sour type ones.

Target offers great low cost, but quality shopping opportunities in every city in the US! A very upscale version of WalMart. Try it, you'll love it!

And CLEAN! So clean it positively sparkles! And no giant lineups at nasty filthy cramped cash registers! And no weird trailer park people in pyjamas who bring their little kids shopping in the middle of the night like they're on an outing at the local fairground. Did I mention it's clean? happy.gif


There's not a Target in every city in the US. The closest one to us is 80 miles away.

I do think there's probably a WalMart everywhere.

where are you guys living ?? the Walmarts I have been to don't seem to be likes the ones you are describing unsure.gif

I should really bring some of those breakfasts in a can home as gifts, great idea laughing.gif Did anyone actually try them though? I wanna know who eats them. I bet my dad would...

Man...Target's so overrated. It is cleaner but I think the quality of the products and the number of sweatshops is probably just as high as Walmart's, so I kind of resent that they're trying to pretend to be better based on looks and image alone. And they don't have nearly as much selection. I'll take my trailer trash walmart anyday tongue.gif

yeah I don't really like Target.. it feels too snobby in there... tongue.gif\

and not all Canadians like Target tongue.gif

Black pudding was my Mom's favourite breakfast! She always got it from the local "Scottish shop" and whenever her sisters visited, they would all settle in for a good helping of black pud. I never really took to it, but what I miss and would love to find is good finnan haddie! Yum! haven't had that since I left Kingston, Ontario where the same Scottish shop Mom went to sold it. I've had other smoked fish since, but it is just not the same.

Ohhhhhh. I TOTALLY miss a good finnan haddie. sad.gif I've found they have the tinned kippers here. I like to put them in my fish/seafood chowder. The fish and the broth really provides an added boost. good.gif

The place my DF and I were staying at last week gave a big slab of haggis with the breakfast. I tried to eat it...but well it just wasn't setting well with me.

I don't mind black pudding as much, but give me blueberry pancakes any day!

Meh, beans on toast is alright. I've had it like...twice. Totally edible and good if you're hungry. Think it is ingrained probably. I love Chef Boyardee spaghetti sandwiches for god's sake, who would I be to talk tongue.gif

I actually have been procrastinating not doing my essay for awhile and just came across this recipe beans sandwich

baked beans, onion, tomato, cheese and bacon on english muffins tongue.gif Hey it's got a five star rating, I bookmarked the dang thing biggrin.gif

FYI I went by the store today and Harris Teeter here DOES have Heinz brand (love the purdy color of the can). I think it was like $2.80ish whereas Van Camp's was like 80 cents. Screw that. Thought maybe it'd be cheaper here in the south but noooos.


Don't feel bad...like like to put peanut butter on my grilled cheese!

Okay all you Brits. I am sure this has been discussed at length in the UK forum, but my search turned up discussions 6 pages long and my baked bean craving will not allow me enough time to go through all of them to find my answer. You guys love talking about food.

Being Canadian of British parents I have grown up on Heinz beans, and so today, with my husband away on business, I decided what I needed was beans on toast for dinner (husband detests them). So I go down to Safeway for the express purpose of purchasing a tin for my dinner only to discover they don't HAVE them. That's insanity. Do they not have them at all except specialty shops for lots of extra $$?? Or can they be found at SOME select mainstream shops?? Please don't tell me I might have to order tins of beans online or something.

I wish I had known about this before I had moved!!! We would still be in Canada! ohmy.gif

Where should I look?? I'm in Boulder, CO if that helps:)
THANKS!!!!


Hey bluegreen,

If you are really desperate (or in Denver sometime), they definitely have them at my local Safeway:

SAFEWAY
9160 W. Colfax
Lakewood, CO 80215

They turned up just recently and we were quite excited. They also have Marmite and Weetabix there. Another good place to look is:

http://www.houseofwindsor.net/
They have a local shop here in Lakewood which sells all manner of British food and we go to sometimes.

Best of luck,

Okay, apparently, my husband tells me the beans we got at our Safeway (which were Heinz and look just like the ones he would get in England, which he excitedly bought when we saw Safeway selling them) tasted nothing like the ones from England and were too sweet *grin* I stand corrected. Anyway, House of Windsor is another possibility, and my husband did say the have the Proper Beans for sure at the Cost Plus World Market down in our area at least. There is one in Boulder as well you might try:

1685 28th Street Boulder, CO 80302

Thanks! I did find them at world market on 28th st.(you can read all about this exiting shopping trip upthread), but sad to say I was there yesterday and they do not have them now - must be a once in a while thing. So I am going to maybe try some of the online places suggested here - thank you!

Whenever I think if Heinz Baked Beans I think of that picture of Roger Daltrey from The Whol Sell Out. It really hasn't done anything for me in regards to the image of Heinz Beans.

Bluegreen, if you are ever in Denver/Aurora area you might like to try here:

http://www.englishteacup.com/cupboard.html

Their website isn't very helpful, but it's a place that I want to go to if we get over the Rockies at some point.

We are on the Western slope and we have no World Markets, none of our supermarkets sell any Brit stuff whatsoever crying.gif So, whenever we visit other States we do a search for international foods....we have been lucky so far and the best one we have found is the International Market in Las Vegas, when we go there we stock up on Heinz beans, Bisto gravy granules (can't believe this hasn't made it over the pond), Vegemite and of course all the Cadburys chocolate, Turkish Delight and loads of mint Aero's (Hubby's hooked on them).

My only gripe is the high price we have to pay, but to me it's worth it!!!
