Good Taste of Britain

Alright, this gormy Brit will admit it. I will always have a soft spot for English nosh.
Whenever I’m in the Eau Claire area, I have to stop in this place to refill on my Roast Beef Hula Hoops, Irn Bru and Cola Cubes. It’s as certain as the tide!
It can get a little pricey, but that’s to be expected, this stuff is being shipped all the way from England, and trust me, that is not a cheap thing to do! But it saves me from having to ask (beg/​cry) my relatives back home to send me supplies!
Seriously, people. Irn Bru. Try some! (Maybe go to the Liquor store after and mix it with Vodka and Ice. Delicious!)
I do have to laugh at their picks of football (The proper one! Not that hand egg thing they call Football over here!) scarves, quite the… interesting choices of teams they have to say the least. Last time was there I learned there’s apparently a West Ham United following in Calgary. (Pah, C’mon the Barcode Army! TOOOOOON!)

In terms of experiencing Britain in Calgary, this is as close as it gets.
Everything British: from Chocolate Hobnobs to English Toffee, this place is guaranteed to cater to your innermost ‘English’ desires. Does that even make sense???
I love love love ethnic food stores and a store filled with imported goods and shelves of candy wins me over like nothing else.
Grab some biscuits, grab some toffee and get a Good Taste of Britian.

Alo alo, top o dah mor-​nin to yew!
Does that translate into a somewhat British accent? Because after visiting Good Taste of Britain my mind went into British accent autopilot.
This is a fanciful store celebrating the patriotism of Britain. Chock full of British goodies and treats, import candy and chocolate, beverages and teas. Tons of memorabilia cover the walls from Beatlemania to license plates and football scarves. The store at Eau Claire is large and unlike the other cultural stores at the market, its décor is tastefully done.
Of course a store celebrating Britain shouldn’t be without a great selection of music or films. Let me digress here and say that one of my favourite film stylings is British comedy. I have been known to laugh for hours and occasionally snort and wet myself.
GTOB succeeds in snogging itself so have a spot of tea with them mates!
