LONDON, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Online grocer Expat Shopping and British supermarket Waitrose are teaming up to offer satisfy the hankering of Britons abroad for Marmite and marmalade.
The food branch of the John Lewis U.K. department stores group, Waitrose, is Britain's highest-end supermarket chain, with its own brand of foods, ready-to-eat meals, grocery and household products. Nostalgic Brits will be able to order such treats as potatoes basted with roasting beef dripping, deep-filled steak and ale pie and plum pudding for Christmas.
Expat Shopping began three years ago as an Internet site offering Britons and Americans posted all over the world a taste from home as well as familiar non-food products, delivered to the front door. It has since gone into the traditional supermarket field, with a chain of seven stores in Holland and Germany, the most recent of which opened in Potsdam, Germany near Berlin.
