I'm sure I referred to the Canada Shop elsewhere in another thread, that is in Covent Garden?

Pop Tarts used to be more readily available here in the early-mid '90s, when they were first introduced in the UK, but they didn't really have the same success as in the US so I guess they're not really sold in many stores now. Having said that though, the ASDA, Sainsburys and Tesco websites have them in the Chocolate and Strawberry flavours only.

My Tesco Extra has Pop Tarts. But definitely only strawberry and chocolate. They also have Cheetos, which I noticed the other day, but they are the Polish version and are "cheese and ketchup" flavoured. I haven't been able to muster up the courage to try them, but I would love some regular Cheetos Crunchy variety. mmm...

Dunno if this has been mentioned before, but Ocado has some delightful American foods, if you have delivery in your area. So far we have stumbled upon the following:

Lucky Charms
Kraft Cheese Singles
Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix
Kraft Mac & Cheese
A1 Sauce
Hershey's Chocolate Syrup
Hershey's Strawberry Syrup (I find this disgusting, but my husband got a bottle).
Hershey's Symphony Bars
Hershey's Cookie and Cream Bars
Brianna's salad dressings
Fluff - strawberry and regular marshmallow versions (I've never had this stuff, but apparently it is American...my coworkers seem to think Americans routinely spread this on toast...lol)
Sour Cream and Onion Kettle Chips
Nature Valley Granola Bars
Maple syrup

Anyone know either to find North American sized chocolate chips (both in grams per bag and actual individual chocolate chips themselves)?

Hoping the answer is Waitrose 'cause one is coming near me soon!  ;D

You can get these at Costco. They are with the baking stuff. And they come in a small bucket.

Thanks.  :) [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]  :)

Oh, there's a Costco in Leeds. I'd have to convince myself it's worth it. The scale of the place makes me slightly batty.  :P

Does anyone know where I can find proper honey mustard? I see it in the shops all the time but its the salad dressing style and not the proper stuff. They serve it on the salad bar at Harvester so im assuming they must sell it somehwere?

I'm not a huge honey mustard fan, but my husband got this one on Ocado...

Said it was pretty good and not salad-dressingy.

I don't know if it is a one-off, but kraft mac and cheese was clearanced at my closest Asda. The label was even removed from the shelf! The guy I asked said that if the label was gone they were likely going to stop stocking it :(

I just did too, was really chuffed because my local Asdas don't seem to stock a lot of the products people mention here.  It's called "Kraft Cheesey Pasta".  Haven't tried it yet though, is it the same?  I saw the Velveeta equivalent too at Tesco like squirrellypoo mentioned.

Is it the one in the red box?  if so I don't think it tastes the same, my husband says it looks just as radio-active as the stuff in the blue box and that it's in my head. :)

Yeah the red box, I'm gonna get one next week to try it out, it must taste better than the canned mac n cheese, right?  lol
