[HPFGU-OTChatter] Turkish Delight and UK Speciality food.

[John Walton]

Turkish Delight is one of the most horrible things ever created. It is
ghastly. *None* is more than enough of it. Don't try some yourselves before
taking that sensible review to heart (unless you want to be ill).

Custard, marmalade, HP sauce, British chocolate...oops...I mean "vegolate",
Ribena, jam, chutney, Branston pickle, Marmite, Bovril...

It's usually not an entire aisle for British food -- there's usually an
International Foods aisle (at least where I live).
