The British public will get a greater taste of the Philippines from today with the launch of over 50 Philippine food brands at Tesco supermarket, one of the world’s largest retailers.

Philippine snack foods, seasonings, condiments, mixes, sauces, biscuits, crackers, noodles and juices – among many others – will be available to both ethnic and non-ethnic consumers in the UK as they are introduced in some of the largest Tesco branches around Britain.

The first Tesco stores carrying Philippine products are Sandhurst Extra (Berkshire), Wembley Extra (London), Harrow Station Road (London), Cheetham Hill (Manchester), Chestnut Extra (Hertfordshire), Horwich Extra (Lancashire), Stockton Extra (Stockton-on-Tees), Springhill (Birmingham), Yardley Extra (Birmingham), and Dungannon Superstore (Northern Ireland).

Good info there Rusty

Our local Thai shop stock the stuff mentioned but, as you would expect, you pay through the nose for it.

This will probably mean the death knell for those stores...I know the coconut milk is double the price compared to Tesco and the family box skyflakes Ded mentioned are £ 10 a throw.

I wonder why its taken so long for Tesco to spot the opening ....they weren't slow on the uptake when the new Europeans landed on our shores..perhaps Tesco had a gentlemans agreement not to encroach on their territory, I dont think.....more than likely something to do with their latest profit slump.
