ASDA just has own brand stuff like tortilla chips, salsas and such

I did go to Sainsbury's today after the new bf suggested I support  the UK economy since I'm gonna be here...and bought a chile con carne dinner! YUM

Really is their own brand stuff comparable to what you get in the US? I'll have to try it.

Right now I am craving those 4 for a dollar frozen bean and cheese burritos. Completely unhealthy and processed and so yummy!

We used to have to "import" goldfish crackers, but now we can get "Finz" at Asda (which is the same thing, only more expensive) and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups...the only candy worth eating!!!...which we can now get at Fenwick's!

I have found that you can get Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Reese's Nutrageous bars in Woolworths! I go there at least twice a week for a peanut buttery goodness fix! I do miss Reese's pieces though, and Turkey Hill Ice Cream, Red French Dressing, Provolone Cheese and Sweet Lebanon Bologna  ;D I could go on, but I am beginning to get very hungry.....

Probably wont help anyone unless they are living in the central belt of Scotland, but... Lupe Pintos has a freezer full of these.  They do cost a bit more than 4 for a dollar, though!  ;)

Unfortunately, I am not even remotely close, but everything I hear about Lupe Pintos, it might be worth the ride! What brand are they? OMG! I want one now!

I miss progresso italian style breadcrumbs to make meatballs and coat chicken.   I love reece's pieces!  Would kill for a bag of those!!  I miss the American version of Italian food.   I think Italian food is very different in the UK.   I wouldn't mind going out to ice cream world and having a CMP sundae either.   Friendly's would do as well.  Can you tell I'm hungry?

I'm stuck in the states right now, and this is sort of off topic, but I really miss English food! I would looove to go to a chippy or have a WKD blue right about now. But when I was in England I was craving American food. *sigh* I guess I can't have both. I'm sure once I'm back in the UK, I'll be whining about missing food from the US again.  ;)

The American Italian food in PA is soooo good. It is hearty and delicious and the restaurants have so much atmosphere. I love that.

Oh my gosh I do the exact same thing.  I went to visit family in June and all I did was whine because I wanted British stuff.

Well I just spent 3 weeks back home gorging myself on my favorite American foods and the top of my list was a Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich with a decent Dr. Pepper. Followed by great Tex-Mex and Texas BBQ.  

When I'm in the UK though I miss crackers - Wheat Thins mostly and what I wouldn't give to have some deer sausage here.
