The English abroad are known for sticking to their teabags and marmite. But it’s a pretty bizarre collection of things that Dutch shoppers buy in the British General Stores in Amsterdam.
In no particular order:
Tomato soup
Shortbread
Gingernuts
Tea bags
Bicarbonate of soda
Colmans mustard
Golden syrup
Union Jack gifts
Salt and vinegar crisps
Branston pickle
Your own thoughts on the English delicacies you cannot do without are most welcome.
Hellman’s Real Mayonaise and Cadbury Cream Eggs and most of all Irn Bru!

HP Saus werd verkocht bij de AH, Marmite ook soms….dus moeten ze ook door Nederlanders gekocht worden!
