 People mention 'sad' to me quite a lot, usually accompanied by other expletives...      
 
Hope it helps!    
Oh and for anyone who's interested this is the one we got and it seems very good VFM so far.

 That's where we got the stuff from:
 http://www.britishdepot.com/
We also previously ordered Robinsons squash (squash as a concept is unknown over here), Colman's mustard, Weetabix and Marmite.
 
Pierogis are nice, they come in savoury & sweet varieties.. Originally eastern european but there's historically been a large Polish population in the Detroit area (in fact my Mother-in-Law is Polish). Sort of a cross between a dumpling and a pasty:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierogi
Of the home made dishes I've had City Chicken is really nice. Surprisingly, it doesn't contain any chicken!
