Mobile British selection in supermarkets

Hi all,

We are currently in Orlando with our autistic son, we are having problems with finding food he will eat. Which supermarket has the best selection of British food stocked and thinks like Robinson squash?

The Walmart near Davenport had a British section. Heinz baked beans, HP sauce, Branston Pickle, that sort of thing. It has to be said though UK and USA tastes are not massively alien from one another, you'll probably find a lot of what you need just in general stores.

Is there anything in particar that you are worried about?

We have managed to find a few things now, he's autistic so he won't eat/drink things even if the packaging is different 🙈

Ah I see

If you know your accommodation address perhaps do an internet shop before you leave? A few places do delivery. At least then you will know what you have and what you don't have.

I would imagine though that packaging will have difference though.

There was a British shop in Kissimmee Old Town last time we visited, might be worth a look.

The Proper Pie Company is located on Highway 27, just 1.25 miles south of the I-4 and has a selection of British food products at reasonable prices. Back bacon, sausages, real bread etc.

The International Food Club is close to Universal Studios, they supply Publix and Walmart with their British food and carry a larger selection in their own shop.
