importing food from the us of a is not a workable alternative..
Lorenzo Bazzana, Coldiretti’s chief economist, said in a statement that British consumers are now subject to “fake” Italian products that use fancy labeling and Italian colors to try to pass crappy cuisine for authentic Italian products. He blamed Brexit for a drop in imports of Italian products into the U.K., which he says has paved the way for what Italians see as culinary crimes, with the U.S. as the biggest offender.

I’m sure all these papers know what they’re talking about, but after Hong Kong British supermarkets look like a wonderland. So much choice! Such reasonable prices!
And no packaged fruit and veg that when you open it and remove the fruit or veg it's mouldy underneath. Plus the prices in London are 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the same items in Hong Kong. Haha and dairy products are so cheap, fresh milk and cheese plus Deli counter items, just so good and again, a lot cheaper than Hong Kong. You're right it's like Wonderland when you arrive back home, although that spell does eventually wear off and you just accept that it's normal. Enjoy:-)
Yes, Skyhook - the dairy!! My daughter can drink all the milk she likes. I can have a second cappuccino in the morning without feeling guilty! Life’s small pleasures, eh?
Ah Pauljoecoe - so true. Although I am a firm believer that you can never really overshop chocolate!
A good read on this issue. Not as simple as one thinks it is in my opinion and am mostly in agreement with the author.
