London-based Americans, help!

[blamebrampton]

And London-familiar Americans, plus non-Americans in London who like American food or have had dalliances with our Colonial cousins …

Does anyone know of good shops for American groceries in London? I've already listed the American Food Store, Panzer's, Bentall's and Ocado's online shop, but any hints will be gratefully received. A dear friend is doing a lovely Thanksgiving favour for some of her local Americans and needs direction!

I, on the other hand, need typing elves and independent wealth. Thanks to everyone who has commented and voted on the Lavender poll, I'll be back with you as soon as I have slain my last act. Possibly with a chainsaw at this rate … Much love to all!

A potential ceased to be potential when I invited them for dinner to a nice Persian restaurant and they confessed that they had eaten beforehand because they hadn't tried Persian before and hadn't been sure that they would like it.

I was taken for dinner to a "soul food" restaurant in New York once, and there was sugar in everything, including the sweet potatoes and the boiled cabbage (!!!). The iced tea was so sweet as to be literally undrinkable. I truly don't know how they bear it.

I will say to my chap's credit that he was very good about hunting out 'unusual' restaurants I might like and was a big fan of Persian and Turkish, bless his cotton socks. But he wanted to live in Santa Cruz.

And GOOD GRIEF! Eat AFTER if you don't like it, you can make it into a jokey bonding experience. That's just rubbish dating etiquette. I hear you on the sugar: I feel certain I would find it very easy to be super-healthy if I lived in the US as all the processed food is so unpalatable.

They have some brilliant produce and organic foods, though, I suppose that's to make up for the super-crap things.
