American Delicacies

I stopped by Selfridge’s (department store) on my way home Saturday. They have a Food Hall which reminds me quite a bit of Whole Foods, or as my friend C calls it “Whole Pay checks”. It’s upscale food products as well as takeaway options. In Selfridges they have shelves dedicated to different regions of the world. I was embarrassed when I saw some of the things that the sold in the “American” aisle, things like strawberry marshmallow fluff and Lucky Charms cereal, really? That stuff is gross! But I couldn’t help but notice this holiday end cap which had Libby’s pumpkin, Stove Top Stuffing, and Borden’s canned egg nog on it. But the prices! I mean £4.49 for a box of Stove Top Stuffing?! I think one could probably cobble together some stale bread cubes and seasonings here in merry old England without having to buy a box of it for over $8.00.
