Im sorry I cant help you with that query but I like the thread, maybe we could discuss where we can get various products from home in Vancouver

Like something that resembles irish bacon for example!

There's a few places that sell food from home but i don't know if they stock Haribo. Try the Celtic Treasure Chest or The Gourmet Warehouse (google for map).

Thanks! I haven't tried any thing that resembles Irish bacon but I did see what looked like rashers in Pauls No Frills supermarket on 4th at Alma!! Let me know if you try them...

This is going to be very unhelpful but I definitely saw them somewhere them but can't for the life of me remember where....

But it might have been this place http://www.candyaisle.com/ There is one on Robson at Granville and another on 4th. Also a nice bet would be the sweet shop in Granville Market, they have loads of stuff.

Hmmmmm, now I need Starmix.

You can get Haribo Tangfastics in Safeway, closest I saw to Starmix

T & T Supermarkets also stock Ribena and Lucozade

There's one right beside Chinatown Skytrain Stadium. Even if you aren't shopping, it's worth going in to look at the live (and massive!) King Crabs they've got

I got European bacon on Granville Island...its the same as Irish bacon. two slices cost me like $3 though.

Sausages too.

I used to work near a british store in Seattle and they had real Bacon so its certainly available in the pacific northwest...

I've got into the habit of a massive breakfast blowout in shannon airport (they do a great bfast) before i get on the plane and then being Mr.Healthy until i go home again.

I wonder what the import rules are? You can get kerrygold butter in regular delis down here in seattle. Expensive though.

Any chance there was a pack of Meanies? I'd pay top dollar?

London Drugs seem to have plenty of Haribo but could see no Starmix I'm afraid.

There used to be a British butchers off Lonsdale and one down in the Capilano Mall. Also, if you want a proper bacon breakfast, go over to the Tomahawk restaurant on the North Shore. Their Yukon is superb. Proper back bacon and lots of it.

Bryan Adams used to bus tables in there.

There's an English/Irish supply store in Steveston Village. They sell proper 'rashers' , Irish batch bread and sweets. Maybe try there!

LS92109 · 17-04-2012 1:56am

Real batch bread??? I might have to make a trip to Steveston! thanks...

They ship to canada.

The Celtic Treasure Chest ( www.celtictreasurechest.com ) isn't bad, they have lots of Irish/UK goodies but it is pricey. I always bought Monster Munch there. They have Barry's and Lyons tea, Irish/UK bacon, sausages, pudding etc...Imperial Lather shower gel if you miss it that much.

You can buy Ribena in No Frills too, I've bought it in the one on Broadway.
