Groceries for Homesick Anglophones
Don't Americans need an Oreo once in a while and don't
the English pine for Hobnobs? The shops below specialise in
items from Anglophone countries. Make sure the products
have not expired, although packaged goods can last longer
than the date indicated. Supermarkets and food halls also
carry international packaged goods, but the selection
changes, so buy several of an item you particularly like
when you chance upon it.
