You're right, Ruth--I forgot about Trader Joe's! There isn't one near us but we always go to one when we visit our kids in Cleveland or my brother in Chicago. I've never had their whiskey-filled chocolates, however--must try! If any U.S. readers have a World Market near them, that may also be a possibility, since they often add new food items. Sadly, the World Markets in our region no longer carry Lifeboat Tea, worse luck. |

I have both Trader Joe's and World Market near me, but alas, I'm not a real fan of whiskey. I do love that I can get real imported Cadbury's chocolates at World Market, though! |

You can visit the site today and watch (and taste) the chocolate products being made. Unfortunatly the company has just been bought out by the American food giant 'Kraft'. Hope they maintain its product and history.

There is a big difference and I really hope Kraft does not plan on changing anything!!! I'm lucky my supermarket carries a lot of British foods and lots of candy!!! |

Wonderful food, lovely medieval vaulted ceiling; just a nice overall lunch experience, particularly on a cold wet early afternoon! http://www.university-church.ox.ac.uk/vaults.html  Picture by Lena Moore
