US Food Missed-what to indulge in and maybe bring back!

Right, I searched through the threads, and picked out some different foods I forgot I missed and others I am craving big time.  I am sorry if this is a repeat or cross thread, but as I prepare to go back to the states for the first time since I have moved to the UK I am looking for lists of things to enjoy while I am there and what I need to bring back with me in my excess luggage.

1. Peanut Butter
2. Ranch Dressing
3. Mac n Cheese
4. Oreos
5. Graham Crackers
6.  Mountain Dew

Anyone else help me fill my list and suitcases?

You can get Oreos here in the UK...

I always bring back mac and cheese (they have it here but its not the same), Trappey's Red Devil Cayenne pepper sauce, and last time I brought back 2 boxes of Hamburger Helper. Ah memories!
I think you can get Ranch dressing here now?

Where can you get Ranch dressing from? also do you know who makes the ranch dressing? I don't know about other people but I'm kind of picky about my ranch dressing I prefer Kraft or Hidden Valley. Thanks in advance

I got some Oreos from Farm Foods last week I'm glad you can get them here but they are just slightly different than the Oreo's from back home. but they satisfy me when I'm having a craving for Oreos.

Hurrah, okay then, may not need to get Oreos or Ranch from the states, but could if there is room and weight available.  Thank you all!  *makes a mad dash to Farm Foods* 

I honestly taste no difference in the Oreos - but maybe I've been here too long?

Me either, I believe they are made in the US as well.

They arent made in the States I bought some from Farm Foods last week an on the back of the Oreo box it says made in Spain. also how I know they werent made in the States cause the box says Worlds NO 1 Biscuit, us Americans know we dont call cookies biscuits.   

Aye i notice the difference in the oreos from spain and the us ones.. However I do still occasionally indulge in the spanish ones..
One thing i always try to bring back..as there is NO substitute here is DILL PICKLES/DILL SLICES
They just don't exist here ...
I also tend to bring back ziploc bags..favourite shower gel.. favourite us deodorant.. coffee pods for my senseo .. good n plenty candy..brown sugar cinnamon poptarts..
thats a short list lolol.. Good thing i don't go back more than once maybe twice a year.. lol..

Good to know I'm not the only one who thought they tasted slightly different. I also agree with you about the Dill pickles as well. I also bring back ziploc bags as well. Dh laughs at me when I wash a used ziploc bag that has had food in it so I can use it over & over I think I'm being frugal I think is the word. because if not I would be having my mom & sisters constantly sending me over a new supply of ziploc bags otherwise.    

Find a good Jewish deli for pickles.  Had some fabulous ones at a Kosher restaurant in London - they do exist here.

Where can you get Ranch dressing from?

The last time I was in Lidl, they had ranch dressing. I don't like it so I haven't done a taste test, but it was there! 

You can get Ziploc bags and Skippy Peanut butter (or is it Jif?) at Costco...

We unfortunalty dont live anywhere near London so I have to wait till I go back to the States for my pickle fix.

Thanks, but we dont have a Lidil near us but thanks anyways.
