Don't know if there is a thread for this yet, but just thought I would get the ball rolling so we can share where we can get our favourite Brit supplies for ourselves or our partners.

Im in Washington and found that you can get a great list of places on the Seattle UK Embassy website.
First there is Anglomania in Issaquah, and 2nd in Redmond is The British Pantry. Also found a restaurant & Pub in Snohomish!

Cmon and share! Make sure you name your State first so we can see where you are at.

When shopping for my dear Brit in NC, it's a bit of here and there. World Market or any Whole Foods/Trader Joe's/Earth Fare seems to have decent Brit accommodations like Coleman's Mustard, Heinz baked beans, and McVitty Bisquits.

MrsWhizz
OMG!!! Does Kroger's really carry pickled onions? I totally miss those!!! What aisle?


I know, Blue, I'm American too! You had to go and mention Bounty, didn't you?!?

I'm in Salt Lake City, UT. And I always go to a place called The British Pantry on 652 South West Temple. I think there's another place as well. But I love The British Pantry, the owner Abu is really cool and loves chatting about the UK and what life is like here for a British Ex-pat.

Amazon has a gourmet food section with some British products. Meijers also has a British food section.

I wish Meijers were in more states. There aren't any here in Utah. sad.gif

But at least I have my British food store. smile.gif

It's called The British Pantry and it's at 652 South West Temple, right near the Red Lion hotel downtown. smile.gif It's a fun little store, I always enjoy going there, I'm sure she will too. good.gif

I have a strange question to ask, not exactly about food, but food related. Has anyone seen stores over here that sell egg cups? I've been looking for some for a while, to no avail. Just wondering if anyone else had found any.

Oh yeah! I've seen them mainly in specialty stores, like World Market or English Stores that have ceramics. I always call them Egg biers (thank you German class!). You can probably also find them online.

I've seen them in Pier 1, Christmas Tree Shop, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma...or any really good kitchen supplier. Sometimes they will only have them in stock over easter though.

Thanks, BlueRain and Lou Lou, I'll see if we have any of those places around here and check them out.

I'm half tempted to get my Mum to send me some. tongue.gif

I was so shocked when I realised that egg cups are unusual here. Nothing like a chucky egg and soldiers! I bought mine in the UK and brought them over. I made Mike one once, it was quite funny to watch him try to eat it... He kept putting the spoon through the bottom of the egg. In the end he got all mad with it and crushed it with his spoon. Bless who knew eggs where so complicated!

I recently visited blighty and bought HP sauce, Salad Cream, Branston Pickle and Mango Chutney for my curries.

There used to be a british speciality food store within 15 mins from where I live, it was there for years, now I have moved to the neighbourhood it has been shut down. Figures!
