The UK section of my local supermarket is taking the piss

As a brit id say blimey they got it spot on
In British supermarkets, they often don't even put the beans on shelves. Instead they have stacked palettes of them, because they need to restock so often it'd be inefficient to have to unpack and shelve them.
Marmite, Lea and Perrin's, Curry.
Yup, this is actually the UK section and not just the beans section
I was shocked to find out that Lea and Perrins wasn't from Louisiana. They use that stuff in everything in Cajun land
Royaume-Uni/USA
Angleterre/États-Unis
With the signs in two languages and the one trying to be in english (lulz) being smaller, where in Quebec is that?
Edit: Turns out it's in France, I don't think they would be importing French milk all the way to Quebec
Another clue it isn't Quebec is that Quebec wouldn't bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.
Le moo
Beautiful. This should be the national flag.
Canned Macaroni and Cheese?
Barbarians!
It comes out of a damn box!
I'm British and I only eat beans and curry, so I can't see any problem here.
The vindaloo and butter chicken sauces are fuckin class
Looks about right.
I bet only British tourists are shopping in this section. French people craving for beans are just eating cassoulet.
In the end, a Heinz a conquered GB. Eat that Brits!
Jeez why so many cans? Is the country getting ready for war?
I regularly buy from the UK section of my supermarket. Brown sauce and lemon curd are necessities.
HP, Branston, marmalade, and additionally, Cream Crackers due to childhood trauma
You forgot to buy your marmite
What is Hewlett Packard doing in your grocers?
is it joint usa/uk food section?
All of that is uk other than the macaroni. Even the Indian curries are uk. That's like our speciality, not fish n chips
FYIW, that brand of "simmer sauce" is a staple in my US kitchen.
This is a Carrefour, right? I've quit shopping at Carrefour a while back. I find their selection getting steadily worse, their house brands quality very low, their price not competitive. Nowadays I shop at medium size chains, and most of non food online, trying to use Amazon as a last resort.
Yeah, Grand Frais is my usual now
I'm in Spain. I usually shop at Lidl, Aldi, or Mercadona, a large chain of medium size stores, generally well regarded, with a very good selection, and high quality house brands. Mercadona puts customer satisfaction first, and employee satisfaction second. This seems to be true as employee satisfaction is high, rotation low, and satisfaction levels of around 70%, which in this type of sector is very high. They also pay up to 150% of the median income for these types of jobs.
Not even Branston beans. What a disgrace.
Apart from having the flags the wrong way around, what's wrong?
/s
Yeah, what the fuck why is Mississippi Belle macaroni and cheese in the UK section?
Ok, correction I do see a tiny USA flag on the top shelf, but not on the second shelf
That's not a terrible price for Patak's stuff....it's like double that in Canada from what I've seen
But beanz meanz Heinz.....
Has it always been Beanz with a Z?
Where is the HP sauce?
I haven't seen that many beans in one place outside of a farm.
Heinz macaroni cheese is the food of the gods. I love it.
I have never seen mac and cheese in a can before and I am honestly mildly disgusted.
They started making canned spaghetti carbonara now too
It's like they're trying to commit war crimes.
Considering the origin of carbonara, it's not that weird.
Canned anything with cheese tastes revolting from my experience.
I mean Philly cheese steaks are made with canned cheese wiz, and then there's salsa queso dip they sell in cans, and everyone loves that shit.
I live in the USA and can confirm never seeing this before.
Though I'd try it tbh
It's... Not good
You can get it at WinCo if you're in the west.
Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you're imagining.
I can imagine fake chese custard and slight amounts of overcooked rubbery pasta.
You ought to be. It's a struggle meal, not because of the price but because you struggle to keep it down. The noodles feel simultaneously overcooked, limp and somehow grainy. The sauce is virtually flavorless except for a musky odor of nuclear cheese. The consistency of the sauce is like that of milk, and it does not adhere to the noodles. Your bowl will be a nice mix of cold, pallid noodle soup and boiling hot noodle soup.
Chef Boyardee sells mac and cheese in a can in the US!
