Something I was surprised to see in a Michigan grocery store

#6 If the good residents of Robbie Burns's land had the naming rights for haggis, at least there couldn't be weird things made of kidney beans and peanuts in a man-made casing called "haggis".

Even more shocking still, is the box of Paxo next to it. Do people actually pay that price ?

That looks like a display of imported foods in a US supermarket, so yes, the price is going to be higher.

Amplifying a bit: Americans would typically buy an American brand of stuffing, much cheaper. That section of the supermarket seems to be aimed at homesick expats who want the stuffing in the Xmas turkey to taste like what mother used to make, or like what mother used to get out of a packet. I bet there's Marmite further along the shelf, and maybe dandelion and burdock.

Interesting.
I am a regular visitor to Bulgaria (going out again in a few days) and in Veliko Tarnovo (Bulgaria's old capital) is a shop called "The Full Monty".
Food quality in BG isn't exactly 5* cuisine at the best of times and ex-pats (there are 1000's out there - although the numbers are dwindling) flock to this place. I heard - dunno how true it is, that a standard bottle of HP Sauce retails for around a £4.That's about $US7. The same brand of salad cream (200mls) is a similar price.

Many French supermarkets in larger cities have "exotic food" sections now. Beside the Tex-Mex stuff and Chinese-type noodles, soy sauce and Indian curry pastes, there is English food -- Heinz baked beans, over-priced marmelades and various cookies.

Today I saw a small jar of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce for 3€60. ($4.87)

Oreos however have now made it to the regular cookie section.

And there are areas of France that have lots of British expats, where I would think entire shops sell stuff like Marmite.

English food -- Heinz baked beans I thought Heinz was a U.S. co?

I did promise/threaten earlier to revisit this thread.

I just can't see how they're possibly canned unless the little buggers have been de-boned. BTW - were they free range or farmed? This is a brilliant question by the dawg.

and this is a brilliant reply by Vinny:

They're baby haggis, DD. Each haggi is so.small that you can pop it in your mouth, bones and all. Like tinned sardines, or ortolans. And since they're milk-fed, it doesn't much matter if they're freerange or battery.

P.S. I was milk-fed - and it mattered to me, I suppose.

Sorry, Tony. Heinz is indeed an American company. But that was one of the few items I could remember when I visualized the section in the store. Doesn't Heinz sell anything in Britain?

Heinz baked beans, served on buttered toast, is the national dish of contemporary Britain, bjd, beating out tinned spaghetti on toast and spotted dick.

We learn from Wikipedia that

Heinz baked beans became very successful as an export to the UK, where canned baked beans are now a staple breakfast food, in America the H. J. Heinz Co. continue to sell baked beans, however they are not always as widely distributed as competing American brands. Despite their international fame there are currently substantial differences between the Heinz baked beans produced for the UK market (descended from the original American recipe) and the nearest currently equivalent American product (Heinz Premium Vegetarian Beans). The American product contains brown sugar where the British beans do not, and the US product contains 14g of sugar per 16 oz tin compared to 7g for the British version (equating to 140 vs 90 calories). The US beans have a mushier texture and are darker in color than their UK counterpart. This has resulted in a situation where the product is now imported to the brand's home country. For several years, the UK Heinz Baked Beans have been available in the US, either in different sized cans from those sold in the UK or in a 385 gram can (the same can as the 415 gram can in the UK) with an "export" label with American English spelling and the word "baked" dropped from the title on the label. These are sold in many US specialty stores, such is the popularity of baked beans and their appeal to expats.

Nae need for apologies, bjd. (I was just having fun.)

Vinny's post is interesting.

I tend to shun brands - but gawd help me if I serve guests anything other than Heinz baked beans - beans meanz Heinz.

This said, in tests designed to ascertain the strength of brands, English people overwhelmingly selected Heinz beans over supermarkets' own-label beans. At least, they thought they had: many of the tins of beans labelled 'Heinz' were supermarkets' own-label ones. (There have been numereous such tests o'er the years, the results of all delighting ad people.)
