You know the feeling when you’ve been away from home for a while and you start craving things from home, like your own bed and some of your favourite foods. As a Canadian living in the UK I’ve had this feeling many times over the last 10 years. In addition, now that I tend to use the internet more and more for recipes I often come across North American recipes that have ingredients that I can’t find here.
Last week I came across American Soda, thanks to a tip-off from a twitter mate, who stock American products and deliver nationwide. I was like a kid in a candy shop! I didn’t know where to start. They have everything from Ding Dongs to Hamburger Helper! Sadly, I couldn’t find any Cheese Whizz which is one step away from Styrofoam.
The service was excellent and the prices/shipping are reasonable. I wouldn’t do my weekly shop there but I now have a stash of a few of my favourites in the cupboard for those homesick moments.
I’ll definitely be shopping there again. If you have any North American friends it would be a great place to buy them a slightly unique gift
Even if you don’t fancy shopping there it is worth a look at some of the weird and wonderful things we eat. No wonder obesity is an issue!
Disclosure: I received £20 worth of products in return for this review
When I was living in the States my mum used to post me Cadbury’s chocolate and Tetley Tea! Nothing like the taste of home no matter where you are from
We used to have Lucky Charms over here, glad they stopped selling them though as I was ADDICTED to them and gained tooo much weight!
