Again, not going to pay import prices when you can get goldfish crackers at about half the ASDA's for less than £2.  They also have the full range of Pepperidge Farm cookies.

The ASDA in my area has the goldfish crackers & a very small selection of Peperidge Farm cookies. I wish they had a bigger selection though but then again that might be bad for my diet lol.   

The ASDA near where I live in Lincoln has about 3 or 4 shelves of Pepperidge Farm products : http://groceries.asda.com/asda-estore/search/searchcontainer.jsp?trailSize=1&searchString=pepperidge+farm&domainName=Products&headerVersion=v1&_requestid=130714

Also, I've seen small jars of Skippy peanut butter in Tesco and ASDA recently too.

Umm, wow!!  Thanks for that link, there are Goldfish ("Finz") at Asda!!!

ETA:  Just saw the above posts RE Goldfish at Asda

My observation when living in the UK was that you might find your local Sainsbury's (or whatever) has something you've been craving from the US. But then when you go back two weeks later they don't have it anymore.  My policy was always to buy a bunch of whatever it was -- not just to stockpile -- but to encourage the shop that there was a demand for it. Don't think it worked though.

Sorry guys we've had a busy week!

We have noted all of your requests and are working on our suppliers

We also have a promotion on Apple Jacks... £2.29 for a 345g box!

FWIW, I brought back a load of candy from the US recently to take into the office for British people - they quickly gobbled up all the following:

Mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (regular size are available in normal shops here, yes - but I've never seen the minis)

Jolly Ranchers - the individually wrapped bite size candies (the Brits have told me that Jolly Ranchers were once available in the UK - maybe like 10 years ago, but then they disappeared from the store shelves, never to be seen again)

Tootsie Pops

They enjoyed the candy corn and 'Autumn Mix' (candy corn + mellowcream pumpkins) as a Halloween oddity - but didn't gobble these up as much as the above.  Brits tell me candy corn tastes 'like fudge'.

There are still lots of Tootsie Rolls left, so they didn't go over quite as well.

Also, I brought back peanut butter cream-filled Oreos & the Brits were really surprised that all of the different Oreo varieties (peanut butter, mint, berry, etc) aren't available here - just the regular & the double stuff (I think?).

As for Americans, I know people who are jonesing for Cheezits - there are like a milliion different varieties of Cheezits now in the US - who knew?! 

I always miss the Triscuits (in various flavours) & graham crackers.

Wax. It tastes like wax. 

Tooth achingly sweet wax!  One of the supervisors at work kept popping those into his mouth (candy corn) like it was popcorn! 

The guys that DH works with played the game of throwing it at someone who had to catch in his mouth.

Yeah.  I was so disappointed the first time I tried British fudge.

Me too - I'm all 'that's not fudge!!!!'.

Is it different? I'm not really a big fudge fan, but it all tastes the same to me!

Like night and day!  I never want to eat British fudge again, but fudge I grew up eating--yummy!  I don't really know about all American fudge, but Steele's Fudge on the boardwalk in Atlantic City is fantastic!  It's dense, sweet, creamy, comes in a bajillion flavours like ice cream-type flavours.  It's made in huge slabs and then you say how much you want of each flavour and it all gets put into a nice little box.  Little rectangles of creamy sweet goodness, with a little knife in the box to cut off pieces.

I think the fudge sold some places in Edinburgh is pretty good, but overall I would say British fudge is grainier.

That's how fudge is down here. It's in giant blocks in lots of flavours, and you choose what you want. Is it not the same in other parts of the UK? It's the dense creaminess part that makes me not like fudge.

the grainy stuff; however, that's tablet not fudge. A completely different animal and, imo, much nicer!
