Cutty Shark Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Thanks for the link to ExpatFoodsThailand. I was very impressed with their wide variety of food items. Would anyone know of a similar website but one that deals in a wide variety of American food products? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxi Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Warburtons crumpets and muffins are available at Villa Market in the Avenue on 2nd road. . They also have Warburtons sliced bread from time to time. Usually in the lone freezer near the fruit and veg section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 We Americans call them English Muffins and Thomas's makes the best. I try to bring back a few packages when I go to the US and then return. Can not find them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two different things, and I prefer the taste and texture of English muffins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That of course, requires knowing how to cook, and being able to at home though. Quite the challenge for condo living, unless deep pockets. If you can, you'll eat so much healthy, as we buy so little processed food, and make most things from scratch. Helps fill in all those hours of a day, if retired.
