Inspired by American snack foods -- British Foods and where?

[r3ccOs]

I know that Walmart, Sobeys actually do carry a fair amount of British confections however I was curious where I could find a more comprehensive place with more foods...

Particularly looking for:

Monster Munch
Pork Pies
Marmite
Wiltshire bacon
Bakewells

etc..

Save-On carries a decent selection as well.

There used to be a few British shops around but most seem to have closed. British Pantry near Northland Mall is still open and the Scottish and Irish shop. Could try those places, pies may be difficult to find

Sobeys in the south sometimes get batches in on crisps. I think its the Walden store. The Expats Fb group in Calgary sometimes posts about this.
Coop is said to have Mr Kipling Cakes. Again people have posted about this. Not sure which one though.

Are those even English words?

I like kippers, no trouble buying those at coop and safeway though.

Edit.
Nevermind. Someone already posted it.

Isn't there a British store by Northland Mall?
Also a Scottish store by WinSport in the new building by Petco?

[msommers]

Is that British Store still in Eau Claire?

Are there any Marks & Spencer's left in the city? We used to get a lot of British snack food from them in the day.

You can buy their clothes online but there hasn't been a store in Canada since the late '90's

Worth stopping by MacEwans Meats (in Haysboro off Elbow Dr) to see if they have the pies and bacon, etc. that suit you.

British Banger Company in Okotoks has a good selection...his haggis and black pudding are really decent too

Shameless plug for the British Pantry on Northland Drive (britishpantrycanada.ca). They carry many M&S items too…

I went to the Walmart Great Value Brand Sour Creme & Onion and never looked back!

Ok... so in my opinion:

Walmart - "cheapest" option for Cadburys and other confections, and basic things like Tins of Hinez (beans/soups), Some teas (typhoons, PG)
Sobeys - soft drinks like D&B, Club Orange/Lemon, Iron Bro etc..
Co-Op - more of the same, but sometimes has other things like spotted dick, sticky toffee puddings etc..
London Drugs - odd labels here and there... Hobknobs, Yorkshire gold tea, etc..

For Crips - you have to go to the Britsh Pantry or the like... and they also will have some pre-packaged pastries like those Bakewells

For Food - Probably only one place and its the British Banger Company in Okotoks. As they are a butcher shop, I'd say their Sauages and British non-smoked Bacon are quite premium and pretty much on point. They carry everything else and do receive shipment on a bi-weekly/monthly... so you can get "freshest" condiments like Marmite and Branston Pickle, as well they have more assortments of candies, crips, etc.

They also make a decent Pork Pie.. maybe a bit more "high-end" even than some of the ones I've had. They don't have a ton of seasoning, but are very traditional, including the Jelly that holds it all together.

Their Sausage rolls are not half bad neither, I do suggest they are warmed up however (I nuke for like 20 seconds and then air/fryer)... good but not quite Greggs

Time to look for Walkers Thai sweet chili

[haggis88]

I have a "gless cheque" of Irn Bru 1901 and a bottle of Buckfast in my fridge that I can't wait to drink but I'll also be really sad when I do since I won't get any more until next year

[AndyL]

Okotoks came to mind...

There was a Scottish shop up by the skijumps that had some of those favorites (and awesome kilts)
