I too was surprised by the differences in food when I came down the United States. I can't stand Herseys chocolate, couldn't find marmite or Heinz Beans, even the chinese food noodles I had always purchased were not the same(most chinese restaurants in Chicago use spaghetti noodles). It even surprised me about the sausage...closest I could find is by a small butcher and they call it breakfast wsuasage.. I think I was in more culture shock than someone from a different continent..after all werent the US and Canada almost identical, we shared so much I couldn't believe the food was so different. I have since discovered that Canadian chocolate is identical to what the US refers to as European and a lot of others things I thought of a North American weren't. World Market is a wonderful source for many things, but I am even mroe delighted becuase we had a Jewel grocery store open by us recently and they have an 'International' section which included British. I can now get my marmite, choclate etc a lot cheaper than what World Market sells it for. I am a Canadian who grew up in Victoria,BC which is VERY British as well.

It's a little pricey considering we all know the British prices for these things but nonetheless it's a great way to feel at home. http://www.goodwoods.com is a great Site for British foods.

I picked up some christmas pudding and mince pies a couple of days ago and have been using them for Bisto gravy and curry mixes for a while...along with whatever chocs and biscuits happen to catch my eye. Thanks for the Indian and Butcher Boy tip, I'll definitely be checking them out sometime in the very near future. Trader Joes had some pretty good naan last time I looked as well.

They even sell Birds custard powder and Heinz beans ;-) Oh, and there’s a good Indian store next to Longs Drugs, opposite from Lowes on Oddie Blvd

However Butcher Boy (Rock Blvd, Sparks) sells "country" bacon that tastes almost as good as back home - different shape, but if you close your eyes then that egg, bacon and HP sauce butty tastes just as good. They also do a fairly accurate "British Banger". World market has most common items from Cadbury, baked beans, sponge puds in a can, "proper" tea (and biscuits to go with them), HP sauce, Branston and Picallili, Ambrosia Devon Custard. Still can't find Lamb stock cubes locally though... :-( As a fellow englishman living in Reno I have to say that it’s a tricky task to fill all those holes that a local Sainsbury’s fills.

Happy Cadbury's eating and 'Heat' magazine reading!

World Market Cost Plus sells Lifeboat Tea and Cadburys and Heinz baked beans. I have never been able to get decent sausages - some of the Irish shops make them but they are not that great.
