Ah - on grilled cheese on toast :) That's entirely different and acceptable!

It depends where you're going. Some destinations are well stocked with various British products in super/minimarkets, or specialty shops. The 'British labels' like Harrods, Fortnum & Mason etc. are always popular. You could always ask your hosts.

Brit shops on the Costa seem to deal exclusively in Baked Beans. FFS Brits, is is possible to go to Torremolinos for a fortnight and not crave brit foods ?


oh yes, a friond of mine, many years ago, took a stone of potatoes to the canaries with him- just in case he didnt like johnny foreigner mash ( with garlic and whatever these latin types stick in it )

English treacle toffee, clotted cream fudge, proper leaf tea in a tin from one of the posh delis, shortbread, boiled sweeties (you know the ones in jars from traditional sweet shops), pork pies, Carr's table water biscuits (for cheese), pork scratchings, scotch eggs, Colman's mustard, sherbert licquorice dip dabs, Fruitsalads & Blackjacks, Tunnocks's tea cakes, english cider/scrumpy, butterscotch, elderflower cordial, dandelion & burdock, tinned mushy peas.


I think I need to stop now.




(PS knitted tea cosy)

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
