Whenever I return to Britain and venture into a supermarket, I am confronted with products that I could not imagine encountering back in the USA. For example: I just bought a container of mixed nuts at Tesco. Not just any mixed nuts: “Rosemary & Thyme Infused Jumbo Cashews, Macadamias & Pecan Nuts”. And they’re brilliant: the flavours complement each other superbly.
(I also picked up a couple of cans of “Pimms No. 1 and Lemonade”, premixed for instant upper-class binge drinking. I bet they won’t have things like that at Washington State Liquor Stores any time soon….)
