Hello All......I live in southern California and I have been trying to find a British Food store so I can buy all the Goodies that are sold in the UK that we don't have here in america like irn-bru soft drink for one. I love the different cakes and cookies that Tesco sells and the Mr Kipling goodies too. There are some chocolate covered sponge cookies with a orange filling that are GREAT and we here in America dont have them so I want to find a store I can go buy them at. I know there are online stores I can buy that stuff from but I want to shop in person so I'm looking for a store somewhere in the southern california area.
Thanks
Patrick....emails welcome

Have you checked out the front page of this site - there is a section where you can see some of the british stores that are available in the US. In states and online )
Yes I just checked the home page and there are no grocery stores, just pubs and places to eat. I know there is one in Los Angeles or close to there because on the tv show the Osborns Ozzy went shopping in on and bought $600.00 worth of candy bars and he said that British chocolate is far better than the chocolate here in America...lol..but I can not find on looking online at Google or the yellow pages

If you look in Union Jack newspaper, a lot of Californian stores advertise Brit stuff that they sell in their stores. It looks like a good state for Brit stores. We have a couple of stores that are 60 miles away so I don't get much where I live in western Oregon but recently, the local co-op has been getting more and more British stuff in so I am not complaining.
You can either subscribe to Union Jack or get freebie copies at your local British pub.
'Cost Plus' has a variety of stuff and they're in Southern Cally!

Amen baby, Cost Plus is your best bet and while you picking up a bottle of Ribena you can buy a set of coasters from Rawanda!!!!
Thank You, I will see if I can look up them up online
also I see Raleys has Ambrosia custard in the tin and some gravy granules (but not of the Bisto kind!) I still have to try them out. Ooh and Branston pickle, lemon curd and pre made popadums! Nice... grin
you can get cadburys chocolate all over the place - specially in walgreens. Sounds like you've experienced jaffa cakes too- we found some in a kosher grocery store along with vimto and Nice biscuits, the vimto was by way of saudi! The jaffa cakes were really expensive tho so we're gonna wait til we go back to blighty in the autumn before splashing out on such luxuries.
We found british stuff at Trader Joes, a place called World Market and Safeways(Thank you for the Branston!) but there's tons of places online that do mail order stuff too, i believe theres links on the front page of this site.
Happy Shopping grin
You can get Hershey's wrapped in a Cadbury's label at Walgreens. Check the back of the packet next time you buy it. And have someone send some real stuff over and do the double-blind test.
Really?! But Hersheys tastes like crap, am i being fooled by a fake fruit and nut? ?

It's probably made by Hershey, (I helped design the factory) but they can't do the original Cadbury chocolate because it would melt; they have to put more emulsifiers in it. It is modified Cadbury's type chocolate, not hershey type chocolate.
With the pontification over, the taste isn't nearly as good.
I saw on one Brit site that they wouldn't mail order British Cadbury's to the states during the summer months, because of the melting problem.
yes, and they're almonds not hazlenuts! Still better than hersheys regular though.
Anyone found any Dandelion & Burdock yet?? (that is, not online)
