Ian posted about a British food store which, in addition to its physical location(s), has a presence on the web.
I'm really excited about this because I was starting to get frustrated about American stores not carrying some of my favorite British products:
- Bennet Opie Pickled Walnuts - The pickled peanuts are good too, but nothing beats an Opie Pickled Walnut
- Bisto Original Powder - This is really the best powder that you can buy anywhere, and it sure beats the poorly executed "Bisto Powder Mark II"
- Branston Rich and Fruity Sauce - This is a life saver because I was getting sick of going out for dinner just to find out that my favorite restaurants didn't have any rich and fruity sauce. I'd be all like, "What in the hell kind of a place is this? No fruity sauce?!? What do you expect me to put on my Norfolk Manor Pickled Cockles? Shippams Bloater Paste?!? Are you trying to make me sick? Everybody knows bloater paste is meant for fruity malt loaf, but only a perverted weirdo would try to put it on pickled cockles. I supposed next you're going to want me to eat my Bisto Chicken Gravy Granules without any Coleman's Creamy Seafood Sauce."
- Aunt Bessie's Bubble and Squeak - Sometimes I'm in the mood for bubble, and sometimes I just want squeak - fortunately, for the times when I want both, and when I want them the way Aunt Bessie used to make them, I'm in luck
- Batchelors Peas - If there's one thing about Batchelors, it's their ability to weild marketing images in such a way that you practically have to eat their food - for example, who could possibility resist the tempting sound of a can of "Batchelors Bigga Processed Peas" or "Batchelors Mushy Peas"? - I mean, what consumer doesn't like to have the words "processed" and "mushy" written in big letters on their foodstuffs?
- Bird's Angel Delight Banana - After every meal comes dessert, and there's nothing I like more than a nice helping of Bird's Angel Delight Banana - You know what they say: "If your angel delight banana doesn't have a photo of a 13 year old boy with a gigantic waxed carnie moustache on the box, then it isn't Bird's angel delight banana!"
- Nurse Harvey's Gripe Water - Don't forget to relax at the end of the day with a pint of this stuff, and remember to keep your eyes open for "Nurse Harvey's Gripe Water - Low Carb Edition" which is right around the corner
I'd better stop there. This could easily go on all night...
