Most grocery stores throughout the US carry a few British products, not always in their own section. Digestives (McVities especially) are popular. Some of the sauces and teas. Typically not the candy, biscuits, and crisps though :(.
Most places with say at least a couple hundred thousand people will have a dedicated British import store, usually run by an expat with a much larger selection.
I think watching too many BBC dramas (Netflix you aren't fooling anyone with your "Netflix Original" British shows) causes many Americans to seek out some of your more interesting products. And we do actually like tea, its not as popular as coffee but we drink a fair amount of it.
Also the Bake Off has caused a huge surge in baking here and while most stuff is easy to get you definitely use a few items that are hard to substitute here. I was ecstatic to find Treacle and Golden Syrup the other day in Nebraska. Definitely some delicious bakes soon. I just wish we could get your double cream.

Kind of ironic that this is a picture of a cheesebush. I guess that means it's smiling?

Interesting, prices aren't too much higher either. Just checking now at Tesco, Heinz Beans are £1.20 a can.

I saw the Oxo cubes on the top right and was really excited and then saw they were meat free. Don't know if they are any good or not but wish I could find the beef and chicken ones somewhere in the US

Mrs Ball's Chutney was also in the American aisle of this German supermarket https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/10hw493/the_amerika_isle_in_a_german_supermarket/
/r/conspiracy needs to drop the political stuff and get on this ASAP.

Next time you're there buy the "Cadbury Roundie", I tried it in the UK and loved it. I brought home a few packs for my parents and they loved it too.

Yeah the UK definitely doesn't have coffee crisp, but if you ever visit friends/family there, bring them some CC, they'll love it!

Every Publix has one aisle that has sections of all sorts of things... The 'international foods' aisle. Indian, Asian with subsections for thai, chinese, and japanese. You name it. I'm Jewish. But I live in the mid-south with an insanely small Jewish population. Yet they have a Jewish section on the aisle for all things gefilte fish and matzah. IDK why. Even I don't buy any of it. Who likes gefilte fish??

They're Australian, although we have Penguins in the UK which are almost the same thing

I mean honestly Publix is the only good thing that has ever come out of Florida. So I feel like I have to just give them a win. Publix is really great tbh.
