[...] Walking up and down the aisles, enjoying my solo jaunt and searching for much needed items like Spotted Dick and Ovaltine, I’m always surprised when I see people shopping with their children that late [...]

[...] I’m so glad to hear I’m not the only blogger with a dirty mind. Lotus, over at Sarcastic Mom, had a hilarious dirty moment with her husband. And Jennifer at Playgroups Are No Place For Children found a bunch of interesting items at the store. [...]

Trust me salad cream is not as bad as it sounds and makes a boring salad very yum (and um very unhealthy). I craved it with sausages when pregnant with Rebecca Laura McIntyre's last blog post..Body Lies

Did I ever mention I’m from Scotland (aka Scottish, aka British, aka from the UK??)

Spotted Dick: Even in the UK, you sound like a sex-craved maniac (shut up, so what if I am?!) if you utter the words, “I bought me some spotted dick!” The UK LOVES innuendos and collectively has a smutty mind.

All it is: a traditional ENGLISH (yes, we Scots and Welsh take no credit for it AT ALL) sponge cake (made with suet) with raisins in it. It comes with a custard sauce. (No FILTHY comments, now!)

I am SO SO jealous you can get as manu British HEINZ products there.

Cream Salad: an accompaniment on the side to salad. It is a thinner sauce, but has a tang like Miracle Whip. It’s mustard-y and creamy.

The HP sauce next to it tastes a bit like A1 sauce. Not used on steak though. Great on a bacon roll (with butter).

The Sarson’s vinegar is British too.

You so suck.

We have that aisle in our cool grocery store too. Every time I go I want to throw a can of the spotted d#ck in the cart just to see what it is, but I am too cheap. Andria's last blog post..Dear Elizabeth,
