If you want a great hardware store, check out the new Bellon in Santiago. I thought I had walked into Home Depot in Miami.
As far as food, I'll settle for;
Horseradish - Super Hot
Franks Hot Sauce
Bragg – Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
Nabisco Triscuits, Original
Nabisco Shredded Wheat cereal
Taylor Ham/ Taylor Pork Roll
Thomas English muffins
Italian Olive oil (First cold pressed)
Mediterranean Sea Salt
Pimento Cheese spread

The Constanza/Jarabacoa strawberries used to taste watery but IMO they have improved. Price is crazy though.

You need to go to a "Supermercado National","POLA",and "La Sirena", they have MANY of the things listed above.
Cottage cheese,Fresh "sweet corn",OK,it's not like summer corn in the USA,but not bad.Apples? about 10 varieties at "National".
Triscuits,shredded wheat,Thomas' English muffins,Lender's bagels.REAL cheese from the USA,Italy,France,(Lots of "Blu Cheese too!)
Frank's hot sause,MANY kinds of "EVOO",Sea Salt,"Polish Sausage",Real American "Hot Dogs",and BACON too.
The list goes on and on.You can't get "Fresh Eggs"???
"Marmite" was banned a s a public healt hazard about 15 years ago!!!!
You gotta get out more!

Canada and the US.......... bangers aren't they called in Jolly Olde?

These may be closer to Italian sausages. Might not be to your liking old chap, if English is what your looking for.

I'll keep an eye open for you


PS........ if English JR, have you downloaded or seen Downton Abbey? Pretty good!!!

Didn't we have a Playero thread a while ago where if you asked for something, the owners would try to get it for you?

Can we start with Cottage cheese, please.?

Who was that who was wired to the owner?

Yes they do but many items are double the price compared to the states. I rather buy the Dominican brands, some actually taste better than the American brands.

Everything from Linda brand always taste great!
