whole foods experience: my favorite brianna poppy seed salad dressing (they did carry all others too ), pure maple syrup, blackstrap molasses, jellied ocean spray cranberry sauce, although not from america numi tea bags-a very nice selection, various hair care products and vitamins i use, and amys organic soups................pricing i found the personal care products very expensive but food products were moderate in price........cant wait to go to the bigger store and stock up

Where can I find American type foods/candy in Birmingham? I HAVE to have Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't have any luck there in Birmingham, hop a train to Coventry, take the 27 bus to Pool Meadow Bus Station, walk up Trinity street past Lady Godiva statue, cross road keep going with Starbucks on your left and turn left at the fountain.  There's a great American imports shop inside the Coventry Blaze Hockey Locker shop on the right hand side.  I know they definitely have PB cups, including the white chocolate ones!

Does anyone know if you can find Hunt's Manwich or Hormel chili with beans somewhere in London or that can be ordered online?

5.  DP "MUST" have habenero sauces as well as Chulua (sp), etc.  I regularly use Herdez Salsa Verde in my cooking (tomatillo based).  My mother did give me a recipe for tomatillo sauce, which I use for my chicken/Mexican based dishes, if Herdez isn't available over there.


Cholula is available at our Tesco extra. We thought it would be hard to find, but it's really not.

Have just been in TK Maxx (Coventry Central Six) and seen

Hershey's Syrup in both Chocolate and Strawberry
A1 Sauce
Miracle Whip
Jif - both crunchy and creamy
Smuckers Goober Grape

Didn't look at prices but have found when I've bought Fluff there in the past they were about £1 cheaper than elsewhere.

Most was located by the queue for the tills but the Miracle Whip was in the kitchen stuff.

ETA: Forgot they also had Betty Crocker rainbow chip cake mix.

I was in ASDA in Leicester (Fosse Park one) yesterday and saw that they brought back Kraft mac n cheese. I can't find it on the website, so I don't know if this is in all ASDA's or not. They told us in the summer last year that they discontinued it because they couldn't sell much of it, but apparently they're trying again!

Love it when they tell you "there's no demand for that"  Huh? Didn't I just ask for it?  ???

True, although I think 1 customer doesn't make it cost effective to stock.

It is on the website where I live (south Manchester), and I've had it in a couple of deliveries from them. I'm stocking up a bit, in case they pull them again!

I've never seen that on Asda's website, maybe I'll bring a few boxes back with me.

Has anyone found any good ranch dressing? I've only found the Newman's and I don't really like. I'm almost out of my last bottle of Hidden Valley!
