What food did you pack to bring to the UK?

Bras.

I'm always confused by the bras one... I REALLY struggled to find bras in the US that were affordable. I mean, sure I could pay $54+ for a single bra that actually fit in the US plus shipping... But here in the UK? £24 pounds, they're cute and they fit great. The UK is bra heaven for me!

I missed salsa verde, but finally found a source for tomatillo seeds, so trying to grow some to make my own. I have extra plants I will give to anyone located anywhere near me. They will need transplanting pretty soon though! PM if you want any all (about 12 that are still small that I can't bear to destroy, but have no large pots or room for planting on).

I wish I had a garden to put them into. I would be all over this generous offer. I'm hoping next year to have a house so I can start a garden. I found a great recipe for salsa verde on All Recipes that will be awhile before I can make.

I always bring back Hidden Valley Ranch and Neosporin.  I have a friend who is on a beer trip in California just now, and he's bringing both items back for me.

HV Ranch is now available through Amazon, but it's expensive... like £10 for a box of 4 ranch packets.

Ahh yes, I brought some over the last time I went, I need to buy more. I use it for salad dressing but also for my cheese ball.

Agree with the others that you can find a lot of substitutions or make your own. I love cinnamon sweets, like Big Red gum and cinnamon disks, so I bring those back. Twizzlers, seasonal/holiday candies that are hard to come by in UK (like the Reese's pumpkins in fall). Boxed mac and cheese. Can you see a pattern with the kind of food I bring back? I so wish that I could bring back a big carton of International Delights iced coffee as well.

LOL, only the good stuff for you! I bought a couple of bags of cinnamon Dentyne for the hubs to try. He loves cinnamon candy which he tried when he was here. I also sent him back with some bags of twizzlers. He was a fan.

Oh, you can't get Carnation Instant Breakfast over here. (I think they rebranded it Breakfast Essentials.)  You ~can~ get Pop Tarts, at an outrageous markup.

I see Pop Tarts all the time for regular prices. I've only seen a couple flavours marked up in the American section at Tesco.

Same.  £50 at Marks and Spencers gets me three nice bras that would have been $50 for one back in the US.

Rancho Gordo beans. THE best.
