Sincerely,

Uncle Wally

Cost Plus - World Market is pretty good too (on the international foods) - can get REAL black tea there as well as other goodies. I know there is one in the Woodlands (north of houston) - and they are scattered across the country.

Yes, we have one in Amarillo. Not the cheapest, but the last time I was in there, they had Marmite!

Hey, where's the cheapest place I can buy Marmite online in the US?

The local supermarket stopped carrying it and my stash is running low.

Ask the manger to stock it again. Most grocers have forms you can fill out requesting they carry certain items. If they carried it before, chances are they will again. Winn Dixie and IGA are really good about this, and they generally tell me if they cannot get an item.

People don't realize they can do this - which is why our markets turn items so often and carry commercial #######!

British food in Houston - you'd never believe it, but Fiesta (yeah, the Mexican supermarket) over by the medical center had an interesting selection of foods from various foreign countries, and I remember the UK was definitely represented. Being Fiesta, the cost was probably not bad - for those of you who aren't familiar with it, it caters to a pretty humble market (offering things like $2 T-shirts that went unsold at various events and concerts) so they're not likely to charge outlandish prices.

BTW the Whole Foods on Holcombe used to have pizza night every Wednesday with unlimited toppings (up to 3 meats) for one price - and you could use the good deli meats (fajita beef...) as a meat. Wonder if that deal is still around, or if they finally caught on to those of us who would get like $30 worth of toppings as a freebie on a $12 pizza?

HEB is great for Brit food. We have 2 really near us and get stuff for Kris all the time. Also check out World Market if one is near you. They are great for having all sorts of items.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

am well up on the joys of HEB but have never been inside a Fiesta, as I have been taught to turn my nose up at it! will venture inside - we have one quite near us

I need to hit the Fiesta but it means going inside of Austin which I avoid at all costs LOL Will be curious though.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

what's wrong with Austin? I thought it was a great place!

I can spend $60 plus on a little visit to world market but nothing beats the taste of english choc and heinz baked beans.

I know what you mean, I will be spending a small fortune there when I move, unless my mum sends me food parcels so funny the things that I take forgranted will be become a treat LOL

The Krugers on Mockingbird Lane had a fair selection of english products, I don't remember them being that dear but I haven't been there since August. I have decided to start making my own bread when I get there as thats what I miss most food wise. My mum's gift parcels are more likely to be ambre solaire sun protection gel as I haven't managed to find a US supplier.

[Stinky Monkey 1]

I will start making my own bread as well as I will have the time, not to keen on the American bread it is a bit sweet for my taste, so I think a bread making book is in order, however the raising bread at the rise and shine grill is amazing and they sell a massive loaf for only $4, but you cant make a sarnie with that well maybe a PBJ LOL
