Backwards question - finding British products in the US?

Same, I only know one or two British people who don't drink Coffee, I don't think its considered an "american" drink at all.

When I said 'American' drink, I meant that's more what the Americans are known for... having better/more coffee than the Brits. Yes, coffee is available everywhere in the UK, but it's mostly instant (at least the stuff you buy in the supermarket, not necessarily what you'd get in a coffee shop) and from what I understand, instant coffee isn't too favourable compared to the ground stuff.

In terms of whether you would find coffee on a British food shop site, I'd say it wouldn't be something that would be stocked because British expats in the US will be surrounded by a wide variety of coffee, so they aren't going to need to import it from the UK.

unfortunately, i'd say the best of british food is stuff you can't get online--fresh produce & cheeses.

Yeah, that's my issue - the things that I miss most from the UK are the fresh/dairy products that you cannot bring through customs - I miss my English cheddar, Double Gloucester with Chives (although I have found this once or twice in Kroger/Smiths here), double and clotted cream, milk etc. I also miss Kingsmill bread - which, although I could get it through customs, it would go stale before I had a chance to eat it!

Even places like Tesco have a good selection of roast and ground coffee now.  Last time I looked, they had a larger selection/variety of 'real coffee' than their stock of instant coffees.  You generally won't find all of the flavoured coffees that you can get in the US, but you can get some very good beans, even in the supermarket.

You can't take cheese to the US?  I brought loads last time.. but maybe I just didn't get caught.

Oh, okay - I stand corrected . I have never even had as much as a sip of coffee in my life (can't stand the stuff), so what do I know  ? I was just going by threads I remember seeing on the forum here regarding the fact that everyone seemed to drink instant rather than ground coffee in the UK .

You can't bring any soft cheeses into the US - they count as dairy. The only cheese products you are allowed to bring through customs are "Cheeses - fully cured hard cheese only" - according to the Customs and Border Protection allowed food items list on the US Embassy website.

And thank goodness for this, otherwise, my mom would be spending a fortune sending me coffee from the US!!

I think cheddar is allowable, though! I took some to my uncle the last time I went back, and no one batted an eye.

I found a place in Las Vegas, International Market, that sells HP sause. I bought some and I don't like it like I did. I can put a dab on grilled cheese  and thats it.
I've also found I can't stand British soda (pop) like I use to. Tasts change I suppose.

I really go out of my way for British apple juice. Love it.

I love also British biscuits.

PS I'm pretty sure HP sause is no longer made in the UK. I think it is made in Holland now.
