FINDING BRITAIN IN THE PALM BEACHES

British Depot -- Photos by Left-Side

Hey, hey, dear readers. Left-Side here to tell you about our latest "find" -- a little bit of Britain right here in the Palm Beaches. It's called British Depot, located at 2402 North Dixie Highway in Lake Worth. RS and I dig on those fab sitcoms from the BBC ("The Good Life," "As Time Goes By" being the latest obsessions). Who knew we could score authentic British grocery goods just a few miles from home?

RS grabbed a shopping basket and started perusing the aisles. There they were -- Heinz beans in the blue can, perfect for beans on toast. Plus they had the bread for the toast as well in the frozen foods, along with some authentic British bangers. Our only disappointment was no custard tarts. We had to settle for a box of Custard Creams (a yummy cookie, BTW).

If any of you know a good bakery in the area that does custard tarts, please do-tell.

In the meantime, if you are an Anglophile, beat feet and dash to the British Depot. They have everything you need for a good "fry up."

Hey, hey what do you say, Right-Side?

Yes, we have more to come on this topic as we sample our finds.

But, even though the shop is small, I managed to buy more than food. A groovy tee just had to be mine.

Fashion for British cooking.

Funny, the lady on duty was not British, as she hailed from Ireland. Still, she  was friendly and knew her wares making some lovely suggestions.

I agree with the Left-Side, not finding those custard tarts was a crushing blow to our plan.

Beans on toast sounds easy enough, but those Brits are crafty when it comes to messing with Yanks!

Gotta dash...
