They don't do that out here. You might find an entire store devoted
to items from the UK, if you look hard enough, but it won't be easy.
Just Googled and we do have one devoted to the UK, maybe I'll visit it
today or tomorrow because I wanted to get over to the other side of
the Park and check out a new grocery store on that side of town.
