Where can I get American food in London and the UK

at Aldi you can get croissants and dinner rolls in the refrigerated Pillsbury-style can.

Thank you!      I have some recipes that use refrigerated biscuits/rolls.  When I get back I'll have a look at Aldi and give them a try.

I think I've seen the croissants at Tesco too. They're in a weird place though, next to the butter & marge.

about 3 weeks ago i bought actual Pillsbury dinner rolls (in the can/tube) in Asda, but i've never seen them there before or since.
I thought the Aldi ones tasted better anyway.

However, at Aldi you can get croissants and dinner rolls in the refrigerated Pillsbury-style can. 

Every time you post about this I get all excited, until I remember that I've checked all three (yes, THREE - and about to be FOUR!) Aldi stores in this town and none of them EVER have canned dough!  Teesside...the armpit of the UK.  Even our Aldi stores are deprived.

I'm looking for Wheat Chex and American Cheerios (or a close match). The Cheerios here (only oats) are little different than the US version; there seems to be a coating (sweet) of some kind on the "o's." I think I can overcome the Cheerio coating, but don't know which of the wheat cereals, if any, would be a close match. I add cereals to pretzels & peanuts, season with worcestershire sauce, garlic and a little melted butter. Bake in a 225F oven for a couple hours.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ahh, yes.  The search for American Cheerios is a long and fruitless one - if you want to pay £5 for a medium-sized box, Skyco and some of the other import companies have them.  I personally just mailed myself eight giant boxes when I was in the US last month.    I can't stand the Cheerios Oats that they have here - they taste like Frosted Cheerios in the US!

I keep forgetting to post this. Longacres, a huge garden shop in Surrey has a large shelf with American food. Vlasic pickles, Kraft Mac & Cheese, Fruit Roll Ups, Gold Fish and a lot of other stuff. Besides that, it is an amazing garden center.

I miss my Mtn Dew soda  :\\\'( lol. 

Sad, I know, lol. 

And no, Im not paying those outrageous prices from import comapnies.

I just dont know why Mtn Dew not here, as Pepsi is here.  Probably cause the huge amounts of sugar in it, lol.  I did years ago email Mtn Dew site, but got no reply, lol.

Meg there's one not too terribly far from me - I'll try to check it in the next couple of weeks and if they carry it, we can sort you out next time I see you!

There is a current special on a branded range of "American" food at Aldi.  There are dried cranberries, ranch dressing, some weird canned soups, and some cheese sauce in a jar.  They also have 250ml Canadian maple syrup for £1.99 right now.

From Thursday 10, there is a special on Mexican food, including jars of jalapeno peppers in brine, and cheap tequila.

Mountain Dew was sold in the UK for a while in the 1990's but it apparently 'didn't catch on' so it was withdrawn from the market.

Check your local Chinese/Asian supermarket.  This is where we can find Mtn Dew & sometimes root beer for semi-reasonable prices.  Apparently it's really popular in Singapore (or was it Malaysia - I can't remember), so the Asian supermarkets tend to import it along with their other stuff.

I miss welchs Strawberry or grape  soda... Any ideas where to get it?

Some Tescos have a Caribbean section where you might find grape soda (not Welch's) OR if you're really desperate you can make grape soda by mixing grape juice and club soda.

Oh ffs as they say...so am I 13 yrs too late or is there hope in the Chinese/Asiain markets, I guess time will tell.  As I will have to hunt them down, mind u i dont drive, so I am limited how far I can go, by foot (Portsmouth) ok Im sad ty, lol.
