ISO Heinz Sticky Toffee Pudding
Yes, cake.
In a can.
Any places within a reasonable drive of the city where I can get it over the counter?
I need to administer to a homesick Brit. Peninsula over East Bay preferred, but I'm willing to cross a bridge for this bloke.
TIA!

Today I saw (and purchased) sticky toffee pudding in the frozen food section at Piedmont Grocery. Made by the English Pudding Co. of Los Angeles. http://stickytoffeepudding.com/ I'll let you know how it is once we try it. Ingredients list looks fine.
Now if we could just find some banoffee pie...

Oddly the Safeway on 16th near Potrero has a large selection of British canned food. My BF, I believe has gotten the toffee pudding there, for me to eat with canned custard. I have to admit, the custard is something I could get used to, but the canned cake was a wee bit much for me.
The british area has been on two end caps in the middle aisle about 2 aisles away from the produce area. I haven't seen it in any of the other Safeways.

If you're at that Safeway, you might as well check the British American Imports store just a few steps away.
http://britshoppe.com/index.htmlI also remember a discussion on a Longs Drugs having a lot of British goods -- looks like in Martinez. But also a lot of other places mentioned:

Tried to edit my post to add this, but it didn't work. Another linking bug.
Anyway, I just remembered a thread about a Long's Drugs that has a lot of British goods . . . in Martinez. Thread here:

I've had the Heinz Treacle Sponge Pudding, which is a steamed 'cake' with a gold syrup top (or bottom, if you open the can wrong). To be frank I wasn't that impressed. However, I've made the same thing from the recipe on the Lyle's Gold Syrup web site that I liked better. There are even some good sponge pudding recipes on the web that are cooked in the microwave (not just warmed).

Here's the Lyles recipe for sticky toffee pudding
http://www.lylesgoldensyrup.com/Lyles...Looks like you make a toffee sauce with butter, cream and brown sugar. Part is put in the bottom of baking bowl with dried fruit, and topped with a simple molasses flavored batter. This version is baked, but I suspect it can also be steamed.

Try Roxie Market, an irish grocery in Inner Sunset--they have lots of UK packaged goods. And, strangely, very delicious meatball grinders. I'd recommend calling first to ask if they have it, but I suspect that they do.

In San Carlos, http://www.buybritish.net/ there's a place on El Camino that may have it.

Don't know about the tinned variety, though Piedmont Grocery carries a lot of tinned British products. You might instead try the Sticky Date Pudding at Bakesale Betty. It's great.
