I'm looking for places to indulge my nostalgia for British holiday foods. Realistically to buy and bring home (particular mince pies and suet, OK, mainly suet), but also if there are any cafes/restaurants that serve British seasonal goodies, I desperately need to consume things that many Americans find horrid. I know about stores in Bethel, CT and obviously Manhattan, but am hoping for somewhere in between. Happy Thanksgiving!

They have a rather nice selection of international foods, mostly grocery items, from England and Ireland. The Woodlawn section of the Bronx (just south of Yonkers) has a heavy concentration of irish in the neighborhood and hence several places for groceries/food/baked goods from your side of the "pond". Google map "Katonah Ave" and "McClean Ave", park the car and take a stroll. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!

Stop and Shops will have candy, branston pickle and canned goods, but Meyers brings in holiday stuff http://www.myersofkeswick.com/main.asp Tue Dec 02 12:59:14 -0800 2008 4205100 10643 MrPhil 1 4205288 I know of nothing in the area.......you may wanna take a ride down to manhattan.....peep Tea & Sympathy.......http://www.teaandsympathynewyork.com/home.php you'll feel right at home mate...!

In CT - there was a small place in Canondale in the small courtyard where the Inn at Canondale Creek is. The store had a bunch of British food imports.

Tue Dec 02 16:22:53 -0800 2008 4204897 11235 bob gaj 2 4217441 Bob - yes, I did mean Newtown. Thanks for all the tips about Myers of Keswick - I do know all about it, have been there (and Tea & Sympathy) often, but I'm specifically looking for places in Westchester/Fairfield. My local Stop & Shop has a few goodies, but nothing Christmassy yet and certainly no suet. It's a far-fetched dream to have somewhere local to home where I can get this stuff, I realize, but my quest continues! Thanks to all for the help so far.

A large Stop and Shop has some British items. Also I used to see stuff in the Darien Cheese Shop in (obviously) Darien. Wed Dec 03 12:30:40 -0800 2008 4204897 16942 rjka 1 4218422 I found a place called Penny Ha' Penny in Cannondale Village, Wilton CT 203-762-2233 They are a British Foods place and there ad says they have Holiday Foods, Traditional Christmas Puddings, Sweets and more. www.pennyhapenny.com I hope this helps. Wed Dec 03 14:55:44 -0800 2008 4204897 44123 nbermas 2 4220826 This is the place I referenced in my post from last week. We've been there and they do have a good amount of stuff.
