I LOVE Jungle Jim's! Trouble is, I always buy $200 of stuff I don't need there. I love that you showed the "porta-potties". My son was fooled by those the first time we visited! They look like one-person stalls from the outside, and he just saw someone go in, so he refused to even try to open the door. The look on his face when two different people came out was priceless! ;)

Love this store ... enjoying being able to get food from places I have visited. This make me want to hope in the car and travel down there tonight.

Jungle Jim's is an awesome market! We love going there. Their selection of international fruit is amazing n I always learn something new. They could make the Irish section a bit larger but then, being Irish I would say that same for Holland. Their natural food section is great too, and allllll the candy!!!!!

in Australia, we eat some of the same things as people in the UK do. so we would go down the UK aisle to get things you usually get in Australia that are not comen in the USA, like a flake, aero, milk chocolate, tea, digestive biscuits and more. so we do not need 2 aisles, we would just use the UK aisle to find what we want.

Jungle Jims is the only store I've seen that sells Vegemite

One of the biggest surprises is the prices are not actually that bad, and comparable to local grocery chains. *This isn't a whole foods.* The things that are more pricey is the imported items or premium items. But, again you'd pay that extra anywhere, often more. Like, I often stock up on coffee flavor syrups. For slightly more than a 12oz bottle at Walmart, I can get 24oz glass bottles there. The biggest drain on the wallet is there simply being too many good things in a concentrated space.

This is truly one of my most favorite stores and you’re absolutely right it’s paradise!

You are right. To a certain extent anyway, it must be coffee or tea. I have written here before about marrying into a British family. (I am a Californian.) My wife's parents and extended family all came here. Most of them could slug down pots and pots of coffee all day. Then go upstairs to bed. No caffein problem. They seemed immune. They enjoyed a proper cup of tea on special occasions. Both their coffee and tea were good. I enjoyed the way Mum made them. By the way, I had several experiences with ordering coffee in New Jersey restaurants. On the subject of how we like certain drinks, this is. I like my coffee with milk and sweetener. In a NJ restaurant order your coddee with the words, COFFEE REGULAR. They will bring it to you all ready fixed up. They always got it right. Very enjoyable.

If I had discovered you then, I too would have popped over. I love Jungle Jim's; my family and I love to come by every few monrhs and spend the day (and lots of money!) there; it's a foodie's paradise! Did you get a chance to check out the meat section?? Buffalo, rabbit, venison, and (the one I want to try first) alligator! The people who work there are friendly and really helpful, and once when I asked someone about a foreign fruit (I think it was from Vietnam), he cut it open and gave me a slice so I could see exactly what it tasted like! Great place; if you come back, let us know and maybe we can say hello!

We had a small shop called Best of Britain, the owner has since retired but I threw a William Wedding Tea and bought most of my items there. It was excellent and my friends were impressed.

I remember this video (which just popped up in my feed). It was the one that introduced me to Lost in the Pond.

This is my local grocery store. Its incredible how many choices are available

Fun store. All kinds of hard to find foods items. Found some very good cheese & wine.

Should you end up in Houston for the world series, stop by British Isles in the Rice Village area. Great little shop run for and by expats..

When I visit my daughter going to Jungle Jim’s is a must!

I love Jungle Jim's. They have the best selection of everything.

Here in Calgary, we have foods from other countries but they tend to be in different ethnic stores. Ribena was easy to find. With Vimto, in a Scottish/Irish shoppe, they were sold in cans; in a shoppe selling Middle Eastern foods, they were in bottles.

When I was a boy, I remember that we always had either Hartley's or Chiver's marmalade for our bread and English muffins. British marmalade is made with Seville oranges and is not as sweet as American marmalade which is made from Valencia oranges. Unfortunately, it is much more expensive than years ago(we are retired).

My stepmom spent a few years in England when she was a kid, and she LOVES Aero. My dad gets them for her from Cost Plus for Christmas.

My friends Mum came over to the states as a nanny in the 60's. I think she came to look for an American husband, really. She found one, actually three. When I got into a car accident she came to visit me, she allows told me I was house proud( I got the meaning). That day she brought me a gift, a tea cozy. She didn't tell me what it was right away, I thought it was a hat. I didn't drink tea or have a teapot. But now that she is gone, I treasure that tea cozy. I wish we had coffee pot cozy's, here in the US. Hey if you need an idea for a side project you could make tea cozy's and sell them on Etsy. Just a thought. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I bring as many "Digestives" chocolate biscuits as possible back to the states when I visit. Amazingly good.
