Ribena is available at most Harris Teeters. Expensive, but, available.

Apart from all the good advice above where I have bought several bits of Brit produce, have you tried Amazon.com (not .co.uk)? Mrs. krokus has found all sorts of stuff she cannot live without including English loose leaf tea.

Me, I have converted from John Smith's to Sam Adams.

I was at Publix yesterday and saw they too had a small section. Pricier than HT but it's an option. Kid was super excited to find her faves, Malteasy or something like that.

Iron Bru I buy from time to time, sometimes have it shipped, but the supermarket sell a $2 bottle.

Wispa is $41 for 48.
