Since my arrival in the UK, Fi's kept vigilant watch for outlets supplying my favorite American & Mexican foodstuffs. She knows what sort of cooking I like to do, & having developed a taste for burritos & queso during her visits to NYC, she's now got an interest in sourcing things like dried chiles too. Unfortunately, foods like Stubb's BBQ sauce & pinto beans, considered run-of-the-mill in any TX household (& more or less easy to find in NY), are difficult to come by in England. We've located Chipotle Tabasco & American cheese in random stores around London & Oxford, but Ro-tel, the holy-grail of Tex-Mex ingredients, is nowhere to be found.
That is.. until now. Enter Melbury & Appleton, online grocer & importer of coveted N. Amer viands. Fi found these guys on the interwebs last week, & we placed an order with them almost immediately. Check out the treasure trove they delivered:
Glorious, isn't it? Provided we don't go hog-wild with the queso, that batch of goods combined with the parcel of dried chiles my mom sent should put us in good stead for a couple of months, at least until our next American visitor!

Are we the next visitors??? You'll have to make us a list of things to bring :)
