Bites Nearby: British Imports
Plymouth, MA – Locals do not have to drive far to find specialty food stores. Take a trip to downtown Plymouth and you will come across British Imports, where, according to owner Unity MacLean, you will see the same products found in supermarkets in Britain. These include standard, not gourmet, groceries, like teas, jams, cookies, chocolates and pre-packaged frozen meats, as well as gift items. There are also some Irish foods sold.
Some of the most popular products, MacLean tells, are Branston pickle and sauces, Scottish meat pies and the Cadbury Flake and Crunchie chocolate bars. The English sausages and meat pies, and the Irish sausages and bacon, also go over well with customers. Another big seller is crisps, or chips, which come in a number of flavors like tomato ketchup, cheese and onion, prawn cocktail, smoky bacon and beef and onion.
