Help me find UK food in States
« on: April 15, 2004, 08:40:01 PM »
If I don't find some Schweppes Bitter Lemon soon, I will cry...  
I'm in New Mexico, which makes it even harder... but I go to Phoenix, AZ and Seattle Washington often as well... :-/

Not sure if they have what you are looking for; hope it helps.

You can also check out the largest British newspaper in America "Union Jack News"; they have ads about British goods in the US:

Try this website...http://www.sodaking.com/product_info.php?products_id=387

And here is the link to where they say you can pick up or have local delivery in certain areas to save on shipping...

I'm in Phoenix.. there's a British/Indian grocer in North Phoenix that I visit quite often.  I forget the name.. House of India?  It's located somewhere around 35th Ave. & Bell.  (I'll get exact location.. I can't remember off the top of my head)

It's not the cheapest way but I use Expat Essentials quite often for those cravings.

The only time I've heard the term used was sort of derrogative.. meaning, a corner shop.  A Pakistani-run local grocer.   :-/

No! No! No! No! No! No! Yes!  I'm so sorry if I offended anyone.  Packy is short for package store, where you buy liquor.  I'll add it to my growing list of words not to say in the UK.

Chris, the equivalent popular expression (if I've got the underlying meaning right) for a liquor store is "offie" - meaning Off-Licence, i.e., a shop licensed to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises.  "Offie" won't offend anyone by accident.
