Looking for a source of UK groceries in USA

[kilted2000]

I lived in England for about a year in 2010/11. Since then I have been missing some British foods not available in the US. I'm talking about basic grocery items such as certain crisps, candy, and bakery brands. I would love to find an affordable place to find them here. I have used The British Corner Shop website but they are based in Britain and the cheapest shipping is about $20. I recently found Ackroyd's Bakery which is US-based but shipping is still $15. Amazon has some things but they often take a long time to arrive and are usually stale.

Is there a website that offers British or overseas groceries without shipping that makes it too expensive to justify the cost?

We are blessed to have a Scottish food store right here in Greensboro. I'm guessing that shipping cost from here over the mountains to you in TN should not be too much. Here is their website => Scottish Gourmet USA sells the best Scottish foods available in the USA. Bon appetit!

I actually bought a haggis from them last year. Unfortunately, they don't have most of the goodies I miss.

Alright then, I am intrigued. So what "goodies" are you missing?

We have an English market in San Diego that I get black pudding and a few other things from on occasion.

Amazon carries a lot of non perishable items as well (think branston pickle or suet).

Learning to make your own British food isn’t too difficult with YouTube now. We’ve been making Cumberland pie recently because our preferred grocer has started carrying ground lamb. I’ve considered making my own black pudding if I can find a good source of blood (I think the Asian markets may have it).

And!................... You managed to find some genuine Stilton cheese!

That’s true! Fortunately any high end grocer here should have good imported cheese.

It’d be nice if I could buy it all at one store though!

Port from bevmo, Stilton from sprouts, black pudding from Shakespeare’s, lamb from grocery outlet, and suet from Amazon. It’s enough to drive a man to drink! Fortunately I can get my old pulteney where I get my port and save a trip. ;)

Oh, some very exciting and rare culinary treats. Such a Walkers Cheese and Onion crisps, smarties, or the freshly baked creations of Britain's foremost baker, Mr. Kipling.

Do you guys have a Cost Plus World Market near you?

I used to go there with my mom to get Scottish goods - small stuff like walker's shortbread and that orange marmalade from Dundee.

The large grocery chains (Kroger and H-E-B) in my area stock some UK goodies on the “International Foods” aisle. I’m usually able to lay in a supply of Irn Bru from H-E-B before the Highland games season to have on hand for hospitality at my tent, along with some Belhaven and Balvenie.

Cheers,
