I'm heading home next week, and planning to stock up on Laffy Taffy, as it's our cat's favorite toy  ;D - want me to bring you back some? :)

The banana ones are my absolute favourite!!!!


Has anyone seen crushed pineapple here?  I can't seem to find it and love it in my cottage cheese.

The first thing that popped in my head...

Blue Blue Ice Cream....Can't get it in most of the US and nothing comes close here.

A biggie Frostie from Wendy's would be nice.
Del Dixi Pickles (which comes regularly from my mom)
Hempstead Texas Watermelons
Big beef ribs to cook up on the BBQ pit
Vanilla wafers (again, coming from Mom)
Grits
Mrs Baird's white bread
A&W or Barq's Root Beer

I love this thread.  Let's see....

1 - proper dill pickles to put on hamburgers
2 - Janes crazy salt
3 - Crystal Hot Sauce
4 - Nathans Kosher Frankfurters
5 - Chocolate almond milk
6 - Turkey and chicken sausages
7 - Swansons chicken stock in the carton
8 - Jamocha Almond Fudge ice cream from baskin robins
9 - Packets of dried chili powders that you find in Mexican grocery stores
10 - Tomatillos

I can find everything in the UK that I need to make proper mexican food, except for tomatillo and dried chili powders.

Thanks for the offer, but wouldn't want to use up your baggage allowance!  (Wish you could bring me the bacon cheeseburger, though...)  ;)

We have some American care packages that may interest some of your guys at

www.overeasy.co.uk [nofollow]

We also take custom orders for packages.

Being a Brit living in America I miss the things that I can't get easily here.

What I'd do for Cadburys chocolate and Walkers crisps (especially the prawn cocktail ones) !
