	You can buy English food online in the British Corner Shop. The question is if it's still fresh when delivered?! ____________

	Yeah, English imported food stores are big here in Eastern Canuckville as well. Mostly cater to the ex-pats I guess, they seem to have mostly obscure brands of tea and British junk food. There is one near us that also rents kilts by the hour. Seriously. Brit butchers and bakers are seen sometime as well. We have one that makes the best Scotch eggs.... ____________

	Some heathens apparently like to get married in a kilt, and would then never use it again. Renting sort of makes some sense then. ____________

	Come to NYC (after it's recovered). In Manhattan there's Tea & Sympathy, its partner A Salt and Battery, The Spotted Pig, etc. Brooklyn has its Chip Shops, Park Slope and Atlantic Avenue. And many more. ____________ I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

English food in a German store is not out of the question.
