I make binoculars out of the empty cans, so I can get Heinz sight.
😄😂
Nice one 😄
And soon it'll be $20.20
Ba dum tiss
Very punny.
Careful with the Hobnobs! They're addictive. Have one, have two, and before you know it you've finished a whole package. 🙂
I just bought a pack of 6 cans of Heinz baked beans from Asda today and they cost me £5.25, or 88pence per can. US prices are astronomical.
We ought to ask why? What happened to the USA efficient farming that for decades our farmers were pressured to emulate that produced abundant CHEAP FOOD.
We pay over the odds for everything British here, The cheapest I can get Heinz beans is $3.49 that's when we order a twelve pack, we have to pay shipping on that if its doesn't come from Amazon.
@@janebaker966 Cheap food LOL, a decent loaf costs $6, you can get a loaf for $3 but its tasteless, a nicer loaf can cost $9, Sadly these are not always fresh, I refuse to buy it many times as its so hard/dry or burnt, luckily my wife can bake bread and that's what she has to do.
Decent Milk costs around $5 for a half gallon, middle of the road price for a dozen eggs is $5-$6.
Heinz is American 😂
Even in UK Heinz beans along with Heinz tomato soup has got too expensive for us - now have Lidls beans at 28p and their Newgate tomato soup at 62p much more affordable for us. Also goes for a lot of cereals, get generic brands apart from shredded wheat which for some reason nobody does a cheap version so have to go with the branded one.
😮 the prices!!
Double cream just being out on a shelf and not refrigerated is weird and probably explains why it looked separated and almost clotted, in a bad way. We do have something called clotted cream here, which is closer to a butter or spread consistency than runny but it doesn't have the weird water in it
Heinz 57 is the largest employer in my town Wigan in England.. As a kid coming home from the Lake district the illuminated 57 at Kitt green made me happy I was nearly home,
My father worked at Heinz 57, in Harlesden , London. It used to be one of the major employees in London. It was based in Waxlow Road. Right next door to a Macvittie's factory. The smell of the biscuits cooking, was divine. Even now I would pass a blind tasting session of products, and recognise the Heinz products. I can even know whats in a tin , with no label on it. I knew how to read the codes on the tin. Dad would bring , tinned goods home, where the label was missing.
To this day, I miss Heinz tinned puddings. Chocolate, Treacle Sponge, Mixed fruit and especially The Heinz Christmas Pudding. Trust me Mrs. Peaks Christmas Pudding, couldn't touch HEINZ. The Heinz London factory closed down during the 1980's. Most of the staff were made redundant and most had worked for Heinz 57, for many years, It closed down at a time when "Job for life" was ending.
I never realised Starsailor and Heinz beans came from the same place!
Heinz is an American company. I am sure they factories in other countries but…. Teresa Heinz who owns the company is married to John Kerry who is something in the Biden administration.
These prices you pay in the US are beyond Outrageous, shops be making an absolute fortune 😢😢
You can mix oats and golden syrup together with some melted butter, bake it and you get delicious flapjacks 😁
the pickled onions jar is worth the money as you getting two products for the price of one, dont waste the malt vinegar when you can have it on your fish n chips...
some of the products i spotted didnt look right, it wouldnt surprise me if someone was counterfieting products as the cost of british goods is higher...
Yeah, not anymore, the vinegar is mostly water these days in every jar I've tried.
@@scottneil1187 It's probably not vinegar - it's probably "non-brewed condiment".
Sometimes companies produce products specifically for foreign markets or it's been imported from say the Canadian factories rather the British ones. So different packaging doesn't necessarily mean that it's counterfeit goods.
Burts Crisps are a Devon brand produced near to Plymouth. It is now far more popular than when you were in the UK, last trip to London and they were everywhere!
OMG. As i sit here in my home in Brisbane 🇦🇺 watching this video i hear my UK hometown of Saltburn by-the-sea mentioned…. Gave me the warm feels 🇬🇧 now i have to binge watch your content :)
I use Golden Syrup for baking. I make Chocolate Krispie Cakes for my grandsons which is just butter, syrup and chocolate melted in a pot and Rice Krispies added to the melted mixture. It's a great way to use up chocolate left over from Easter Eggs or at Christmas time.
Rowntree made kitkat, Lionbars, Yorkie bars, smarties and many more but they got sold to Nestle I think in the 80's maybe 90's
Golden syrup makes good flapjacks. Also sponge pudding- put golen syrup in a glass bowl and warm then add a sponge mixture. Cook in the oven in a water bath
It's also worth noting that British flapjacks are not what Americans think of as flapjacks: American ones are a type of pancake; whereas British ones are made with oats, butter, golden syrup and usually some dried fruit added.
Nice to see some Colman's mustard on the shelf there.
1990s there was a baked bean war between the major supermarkets, and my local Tesco's was selling own brand beans for 5 pence, and they were good too.
Oh those were the days and ketchup for about 19p
I'm drinking Fentimans rose lemonade right now :) As a Brit I definitely would have bought Yorkshire tea and the Marmite. The usual way to eat Marmite is to spread a thin amount on buttery toast. In terms of things from mainland Europe, I wouldn't have been able to resist the Camembert, and the Biscoff spread looks amazing. This vid triggered a memory, I went to Cadbury World in Birmingham on a school trip as a kid and they let us try chocolates (I think ones that you couldn't buy yet). I thought it was the best thing ever and they even gave us clipboards to write our reviews on.
Cadbury World seems like it would be such a fun school trip!
Totally agree about Marmite. The mistake the uninitiated make is spreading it too thickly. Best Marmite is subtle Marmite.
You can put Golden syrup on pancakes or put a bit of it into porridge
Cadbury in Canada has nothing to do with Hershey and they have a plant in Toronto. Canadian chocolate is more like British chocolate than American, in fact, Hershey bars sold in Canada use a different recipe than in the states and taste totally different. In Canadian supermarkets, things like HP, Birds Custard powder and digestives are found with the "regular" groceries (HP is invariably shelved next to A1)
Absolutely - very annoyed that World Market are palming off 100% USA Cadbury as Canadian, surely that can't be legal? It would be great if they sold real Canadian Cadbury products like Mr Big, Wunderbar and Crispy Crunch!
Cadburys use different recipes around the world. For example, in Australia their chocolate has a much more waxy texture, because if it was made the same as in the UK then it would melt far too readily in AU temperatures, you wouldn't be buying bars of chocolate, you'd be buying packets of chocolate soup!
helping a Jeremy out - the Japanese curry blocks (S&M Golden Curry) are what you are looking for as a chip shop curry replacement. They are extremely mild so I would suggest the 'medium hot' variety is the one to choose for a mild curry flavour.
Thank you for helping a Jeremy out! 😂 We'll have to give them a try.
S&B Golden curry, was that a Freudian slip?
You could make your own clotted cream. It's pretty easy to make and there are quite a few TH-cam tutorials you could follow. Also, on TH-cam, The Teesside Chef does an easy chip shop curry sauce to make yourself.
Golden syrup is lovely on pancakes, waffles,, fresh fruit, plain yoghurts and even on toast and the same with marmite peanut butter, on a nice piece of warmed toast
In porridge too
I like golden syrup, used as described but prefer Silver Spoon golden syrup to Tate & Lyle's !
I'm not sure if Silver Spoon is still available, as it was a British sugar product - made from sugar beets - their farms being up in Suffolk, but I think they've closed down now.
Tate & Lyle is made from cane sugar
(so obviously not grown in Britain).
Oh nice! Yes i have seen those biscuits and Galaxy cookies here i have tried some, but some are fairly new. We do say the word cookie too in the UK for those type that look like this 🍪Terry's is British first made in York but now gets made in France as the company was sold. The Items are expensive but that is common for imported goods. i have an American candy store close to where i live and that is very expensive as well.
Excellent video now I want to try British snacks!
You should! Let us know if you need any suggestions. 😀
Awwww - If I'd have known, I would have shared my McVities Chocolate Digestive biscuit with you 😄😂 Greetings from England
Yorkshire Tea is the absolute best! ☕️
Nah, made for hard water.
It tastes rotten in Scotland, as we have soft water.
Heinz beans are the worst beans that you can get in the UK they are so watery. The best ones here at Branston
Yorkshire tea 😊I would travel with!!
I did that when I went to Majorca last year😂
Golden Syrup is magical-tasting. Best eaten warm and melted, a complex, fragrant ambrosial nectar of puddings and comfort food. It makes the best flapjacks, steamed puddings, ( cooked into the sponge and served with vanilla creme anglaise ) or poured on top of porridge, sinking down to the bottom, like a well of gold, so the best part is there waiting for you at the bottom... 🤤💛
- Some of the packaging looks different, so it's probably made for the US market or imported from Canada.
- Basically any spread is designed to be eaten on toast.
- Golden syrup is mostly used for baking.
- Some of those prices are so expensive that I doubt they sell many at all! I think the cheese was the most reasonable, but is probably produced locally. The beans in the last place and some of the beers also weren't badly priced.
- Contrary to popular belief, we do actually use the word "cookies" in the UK. The soft, chewy ones are cookies and the hard, crunchy ones are biscuits.
- Burts crisps are lovely, but they're definitely a smaller brand.
- Double cream is what you call heavy cream (basically higher fat content than single). However, I've never seen it in a jar or unrefrigerated before! Clotted cream is much thicker (like way thicker than whipped cream), hence the name.
World Market has an excellent range of dried goods from the UK, Ireland and Europe!
@raphaelrau1728 Not wishing to be pedantic but UK is in Europe. Unfortunately since Brexit many people seem to think that UK is no longer in Europe. Our little island is still there, we haven't floated away to a different continent. Although many people wish we would. ✌
Tadcaster is in Yorkshire and is a brewery town. I cannot believe the prices - wow!
11:00 Colman's mustard for only 4 bucks isn't too bad honestly.
I share your love for Tunnock’s Carmel Wafers - crispy heaven. Also when my cousin was stationed in the US as British military a group got together and imported a case of Heinz Beans and had them shipped by military transport - definitely considered necessary rations. 😅
I live in England (originally from N Yorks but live in S Oxfordshire), but will eventually retire in Bulgaria with my wife...but the one thing I can never find there is good tea - they cater for the herbal and fruit teas - but I can't live without a cup of Yorkshire - I'll be travelling back every year to visit family (just to pick up some home comforts!!!)
Golden Syrup is effectively a replacement for honey. I haven't bought it for years, now I just buy honey instead, but I used to use it on toast with butter, or on pancakes, or drizzle a little of it onto vanilla ice-cream, or you can use it in baking, but I imagine there are plenty of other uses for it.
All Marmite peanut butter needs to shine is some toast!! It's an excellent breakfast.
Google says there isn't really an equivalent for double cream in the US because the butterfat content is much higher than anything you get in the US. The closest equivalent is heavy cream and we can use it for whipping too but we also use it as it is as condiment for desserts like you would ice cream, custard or whipped cream. I've never seen it in a shop out of the fridge section so that may be why it looks that way
Thanks I didn't know that.
I try and seek European butter when possible for that reason though so it makes perfect sense.
Walmart in Salem used to sell McVite's choc digestives, we would but them all the time as they were the cheapest we had ever found at £2.99, sadly they discontinued about 5 years ago along with Cadburys fingers.
$15 dollars for salad cream!!! Crazy pricing- how is it justified xx❤❤
A question the USA population should be asking of their political administration. What happened to America the land of cheap abundance.
Probably because it is imported in relatively small quantities. There may well be an element of profiteering, but also remember that a lot of groceries are more expensive in the USA than in the UK or Europe, especially if you want an equivalent quality.
Yorkshire tea, especially the raspberry jam on toast flavor, is rather amazing.
I must seek it out now. 😀
@@TheMagicGeekdom I found that Amazon has the best price for the stuff.
I love the jam on toast flavour.
I found that mixing some mild curry powder into some standard UK style brown gravy (made with gravy granules) tastes really similar to chip shop curry sauce.
You can use golden syrup in porridge, to make flapjacks, make toffee apples, steamed golden syrup pudding, which is delicious with custard, sticky toffee pudding & lots of other things. Has to be Tate & Lyle though. Nothing else tastes anywhere near as good.
my favourite thing that was limited edition was the cranberry jaffa cakes that came out around christmas time
I have finally found Yorkshire Tea bags in Cyprus - it is a 90 minute round trip but has made me very happy. Cadbury once did a chocolate bar with Turkish delight filling and I loved it (years ago). I buy baked beans from Lidl in Cyprus (Freshona brand) and think they are better than Heinz. Thanks for sharing guys. x
Looking really good girl. Haven't seen one of your videos for a while. You both look well and make interesting videos as usual.
1:47 Can't belive they have Mila and Horalky (Czech wafers)! And only twice as expensive as in Czech republic :)
Yes the orange label Golden curry is quite close to a chippy curry sauce.
You have to remember that you pay more for anything that is imported from another country to yours. Unfortunately, shipping costs don't come free! 😄. 🇬🇧
its not shipping costs its import taxes, and it works both ways
Golden syrup is in loads of uk desserts. Flapjack, steamed puddings, spiced cakes, tea loafs, gingerbread biscuits ect. It’s pretty much guaranteed to be in all treacle based desserts, and has either now completely replaced or is placed with black treacle, dependent on taste.
It’s like a thicker than honey consistency, and tastes like homemade caramel before you add the cream.
You can also make your own clotted cream! It’s basically baked double cream in a water bath.
Oh that makes so much sense. Thank you for the info!
@@TheMagicGeekdompst, Barry Lewis’s channel has a really good recipe too. UK TH-camr so the measurements maybe a bit fiddly in translation, but I’ve used it and it works a treat. He doesn’t use a water bath though. Enjoy your future cream teas!
golden syrup also commonly used in british fudge along with double/clotted cream, very different from the american 'mackinac' type chocolate fudge.
possible in the usa with heavy cream but you have to find 'fresh' cream (just pasteurised) not uktra high heat treated, nor ones with gums/stabilisers (no easy task).
You were very close to Tadcaster, or Taddy as it's affectionately known is on the outskirts of York ❤
Back in the old days, department stores in the US had grocery sections. They started phasing out when I was a teenager.
The galaxy cookies are British. Cookies are a specific type of biscuit over here.
Samuel Smith beer is brewed in tadcaster a little town near york, in north yorkshire
Just spread marmite peanut butter on hot buttered toast, crumpets or muffins. You could also put it on top of cheese on toast (or what you call grilled cheese) 😋
When I was courting my wife, she worked off Oxford Street and would buy her groceries in a supermarket in the basement in Debenhams department store. Debenhams is sadly no more. Reference Golden Syrup my wife would use it to make butterscotch sauce to have with ice cream.
Hello Cara and Jeremy. Back in the 1990s, I toured US with a friend. I found Samuel Smiths Yorkshire bitter in a bar on Route 66 in Flagstaff. By the time we got to Portland Oregon we were a bit homesick. We went for a few Guinness in an Irish pub and then to a Chinese restaurant for Mongolian beef as a substitute for an Indian curry.
Golden syrup is good on UK style pancakes and on leftover Yorkshire puddings as an after dinner treat.
I recently watched a US reaction channel do videos on making such things in US, but they only had maple syrup, which is OK, but not the same.
It's Yorkshire Tea that people bang on about, also Marmite is more Australian than English.
Terry's Chocolate Orange is a chocolate product created by Terry's in 1932 at Terry's Chocolate Works in York, England. The brand has changed ownership several times, and production was moved to Poland in 2005. Since 2018, the Terry's Chocolate Orange has been produced in Strasbourg, France, by Carambar.
Upvote for the Tardis reference (12.58) ! 😂👌👍
World Market is a good place to buy British stuff. It's a place you can pretty much always find Marmite and an OK selection of biscuits and tea. They have Yorkshire, PG Tips, etc. I love Twiglets. I'd say give Heinz Salad Cream a try. It's good as a sandwich spread and also as a salad dressing. It's got a nice tangy/sweet flavor. I was surprised at how much more expensive US prices were compared to UK prices. Nice to see a bit of Portland as well. Portland is one of my favorite cities here in the US. I lived there in the 90s and still miss it.
We used to have a British Tea room and shop in Lake Oswego called Lady Di's, it was started by a British lady called Diane, another British lady Mrs Stephens ran it for many many years, she did a wonderful job, from food sales to English Teas sold in one half of the Shop, an American lady bought it and with in a year or so it closed, we bought all our British food supplies from that shop for about 15-20 years.
Costplus World Market in Keizer used to carry a lot of British things but nothing close to Lady Di's, we don't shop there much as selection has gotten very poor, the one shown in Portland looks amazing, far better than the Keizer store, these days we rely on a place from California and Amazon sometimes has what we need.
We buy Irish Sausage from New York, by the time we add 2 day shipping its around $18 per pound, its very good sausage. I really enjoyed this video Thanks.
I use substitute Honey with Golden Syrup and pour it on Peanut Butter for a comforting sandwich.
yes...as a child we would mix it in a cup with peanut butter and eat it with a spoon...such a treat
A cookie is a type of biscuit, oc the galaxy cookies are called cookies because theyre cookies, a custard cream for example is not a cookie, its biscuit. Cookie is generally the chcolate chip type circles.
Check out recipes for golden pudding to use golden syrup. It's like an upside down cake. Had have it with Bird's custurd. I've only ever had peanut butter as a savoury spread. On hot buttered toast.
Cadbury's Snack are lovely.
And Cadbury's Fingers are a stck version.
I recommend biting a little off each end and using it like a straw for tea. It then just melts in your mouth 😋
Heinz beans 100% have added sugar in them lol - this is why they have the new "no added sugar" special version
Golden syrup we have on pancakes often also
When in the UK go to Aldi, their Chocolate Caramel Wafers are excellent at a fraction of the cost. In fact many Aldi versions are very good at much better prices.
You can also tell that is an imported Heinz beans, as it says Heinz Beans. They actually say Heinz Beanz normally in the UK
Wow I don't think I've ever noticed that difference!
or counterfiet, the wieght on the front got me suspicious of that can, i suspect that is an american product being passed off as british
@@CHEEKYMONKEY2647Counterfeit and weight my dude and no, they aren't counterfeit, they're just relabelled for US sale, this isn't a street market, stores have supply chains and distributors, there's regulatory bodies and inspections, there's no way they'd be selling counterfeit gear.
Heinz is an American company. You can just get “Pork n Beans” if you want beans in a tomato sauce like stuff.
Interestingly, the "Heinz Beanz" labelling only goes back to 2008 (though the "Beanz Meanz Heinz" slogan goes back to the 1960s).
This reminds me of how I technically can find Arizona Ice Tea over there in Europe, but the big bold "99 cents" on them is a big fat lie, because they are sold at up to 5 times that...
I saw a video about British buscuits and it mentioned Hobnobs and how they wanted to make a buscuit which was a bit like flapjacks
Oh interesting! That makes sense. I love them!
Samuel Smiths pubs are located all over the UK!
Syrup on normal toast. Make flapjacks with it. Pour a bit on ice cream and it hardens. Syrup on French toast, on waffles or pancakes with fruit and/or yoghurt. Syrup pudding (steamed pudding with syrup). Tadcaster is on the outskirts of York by the way 😊😮
I'm impressed they had Rubicon juice. That stuff is amazing!
There's a chicken place near me that features an award winning Mango Rubicon sauce chicken wing on the menu. It's pretty good.
I live in Orlando, FL, and I buy Camembert at my local Publix all the time.
Oh nice!
For a curry sauce cheat add curry powder to your favourite instant gravy. for one that rocks your world homemade gravy with roasted meat juices and stock, then add your favourite curry blend
I've tried these peanut puffs that were Slovakian and they were absolutely delicious. I was told Lidl did a version of them called peanut flipz, best thing ever! Now they don't have them and I can't find them anywhere 😭😭
They’re back in my local and I picked up a smaller bag In the corner shop (costcutter) if it helps for my Dad! x
PG Tips is our favorite tea, we have been getting it from Safeway for years, more recently they have added Yorkshire Tea which is also popular.
Thompsons Scottish Blend. Made in Belfast for soft water👍
No hate for our American friends but it is crazy how much sugar & salt they load the food over there, also how companies have tricks to get around the FDA's guidelines (like how the word "flavored" makes it so that they don't actually have to put the original flavour source in the product).
The french label on terrys chocolate orange is correct you were also spot on in saying they were terrys of york but they got sold to a french company.
Terry's of York - AKA Slugworth's
I thought Nestle bought Terry's when they acquired Rowntree-Mackintosh?
Great video, just saw a Star Bar on the shelve, $2.99, wow ! I can get them from my corner store for 65p...It's amazing how your prices for UK products are the same price as our US products..
I paid £2.50 for a can of Dr Pepper Vanilla..Keep up the fine work..
Not really THAT amazing. It costs pretty much the same to ship products across the Atlantic in either direction.
You can make clotted cream from double cream, loads of recipes on line
Even in the US those prices are outrageous... maybe we're lucky here in Central PA...with a large Irish population and stores that carry UK products. Wegman's has a large variety and at normal prices. Our Dollar stores even carry the digestives and Cadbury and Heinz are everywhere ( not just the PA versions). Also try Aldi or Lidl...their cheese prices and the quality are so worth it. Glad you had so much fun doing this and reliving your trip.
The Mars corporation biscuits are in Sainsbury’s! Galaxy cookies I haven’t seen so many varieties!
I'm petty sure the Canadian Hienz beans are pretty similar if not exactly like the British ones. I learnt that on a taste comparison vid on YT a few year's ago. So if you need them it must be cheaper to buy on line from there. But then probably 10 dollars delivery 😂
Yes indeed, I see it in my local supermarkets here in San Diego, labeled as Heinz Vegetarian Beans in a green can and made in Canada.
Tadcaster is just outside Leeds on the way to York
yorkshire tea is one of the best strong tea in the north of england and there is other tea makes like pg, telly, red label, (thank for your video's)
I don't know that we've tried it. We will have to in the future!
A few years ago they released mincepie flavour chocolate bars and it was amazing
You are mixing "squashed fly" biscuits up. Garibaldis are squished fly biscuits and an acquired taste. Mcvities fruit shortcake are yummy! Dunk them in your Yorkshire Tea (the brand you couldn't remember) but really quickly as they disintegrate and fall in your cuppa. I love Marmite but wouldn't have it with peanut butter. Have both Marmite or Peanut butter on toast. I can't believe the prices of the products. Especially as some "brands" on your shelves I've never heard of.
Wow some of those Cadbury biscuits and cookies must be so new I haven't seen them in the UK. Golden syrup is a baking thing added into flapjacks, cakes, biscuits, but as you mentioned it is used in oat cereals, sometimes on pancakes. I think Bisto do a chip shop curry sauce granules mix (I think Asda and no doubt other stores do their own similar mix). Although I haven't had it so can't recommend.
Thanks for the info! I was wondering after seeing so many new items if they might even be some sort of exclusive imports into the US.
The Norfolk Manor and London Pub branded items contain British foods but are not brands sold in the UK, these are items bottled and labeled specifically for American stores.
Thats cool. Whenever you feel like a UK night in, make some fish and chips, grab some original British snacks, make a brew and chill watching Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Looks like you got the UK weather there too 😁.
I think Terry's Chocolate Orange is originally by Terry's of York, England. They probably have factory's making it in other countries too and they just happened to get the French ones in 🍊
As a Brit who has lived in the US (not recently) there seems to be some sort of feeling that English food is the same as UK food.....and alot of names of things change too....I think that is possibly why there isn't much of a BRITISH food section in US stores?
Ribenna for 12$. we pay £1.50 max for same. insane. the beans, made me realise they are charging you more for the healthier option in US, getting it from UK we have much stricter law on adding extra, like US for fun
Omg the Sam Smith Chocolate stout is THE BEST. I can’t believe it’s over there ❤
It's really good! We were surprised to find it.
I live in North Wales but miss a few things I got when living in other areas of the UK, best kebab I ever tried was from a Syrian restaurant in Brighton, their Shawarma kebab was just amazing, also I really miss the Balti houses I used to enjoy in Stoke-on-Trent which all made huge Naan breads in proper Tandoor ovens, also from Stoke I miss Staffordshire oatcakes, they're delicious with cheese and bacon!
Same here. A stokie living in north Wales. You can get oatcakes in morrisons (bread aisle). Not the same as the fresh ones but OK for emergencies 😂
I find the best chip shop curry at home, is Golden Fry sauce granules Chip Shop Curry, It come in th tubs like bisto gravey ganules, Just add water, make as much or a little as you want, it is produced in yorkshire , id you good it you will find it easy, I use the purple colour one
Marmite Peanut Butter - on Hot Buttered Toast
Golden Syrup, on porridge, on pancakes, substitute sugar in recipes with it.
I have saw on food cooking shows the hosts substituting golden syrup for sugar type ingredients, like corn syrup, white sugar, honey, etc
Where's everyone getting the peanut butter?, it disappeared from every store near me a year ago.
s&b japanese curry has a similar taste to uk chipshop curry, not the exact blend of course but it is close enough.
Thanks! We'll have to try it.
Yes, that is what I use for chips & curry sauce, it works very well as a substitute. I get the medium version as the mild is a little too bland.
