Our coop also as Heinz Baked Beans

22
The "Cheese Club" (online English cheeses) are selling English Bacon in their newly opened shop in Thalwil, sadly not online, can't see why not, if they can post cheese surely they can post bacon...

23
The Thalwil Coop has Heinz baked beans and has just got Heinz tomato soup back in, they haven't had any for about 4 months.

24
I have been forbidden to eat baked beans of any brand. Especially with winter coming and the windows closed and all.

25
I usually shop in MIGROS and there is no flippin' baked beans. I saw Heinz products in COOP. Love to have them with continental breakfast. And don't worry about the closed windows some people thought about mitigating the effects: http://domsweirdnews.blogspot.com/20...art-pants.html

poor thing, a life w/o beans....

27
We will look at it, it may be OK during the winter months. Cheese (particularly hard English cheese) can stand 10 - 15 degrees - even up to 20 - for 24 hours or so without suffering. Meat, though, is another thing

28
Definite thumbs up as we found Heinz Baked Beans in Coop.... half the price of buying them in Jelmoli..

29
Would Vacuum Packed meat be ok Mike? I've really no idea.

30
It's beyond me why anyone would prefer English beef to the Swiss one

English cheese though That's another story. I have looked very hard at Coop for cheddar (in Sihlcity and Letzigrund) and I just can't find it!

31
We're talking english bacon here not english beef

32
Ah sorry, I'm so narrow minded :P

Bacon was made so people can store meat. it can easily last the flight from England

33
No thats true but its bacon made by an english/scottish butcher in Switzerland and sold through the Cheese Clubs store. The issue is sending it through the post which might take a day or two to arrive.

34
The bacon and sausage is vacuum packed from Colin, I'm just a little worried about posting it. In the winter it may be fine. Would you like to be the guinea pig Brian_be?

35
I could be a guinea-pig!

36
I think you might be a member of the Cheese Club already Kate..... if it is you, you will be the first GP... I'll send some out tomorrow or Wednesday (please confirm address via PM or e-mail)

I'm in heaven, as I've just had some of that fantastic Slow Food Somerset Cheddar for tea, and after suffering that Cathedral City stuff for ages........well, what can I say??!

Had it with my home-made plum chutney and I was suddenly 12 again at the Methodist Church Garden Party - cubes of yummy Cheddar, scones and jam.

I always ate all the cheese cubes before the grannies could get to them; I even

preferred them to the iced buns!!!

Then, I ate some of the Cheddar with cubes of fresh pineapple, and that took me right back to childhood birthday parties......

Then I tried some with figs, but that didn't take me anywhere. It was great though.

Then, oops, I'd somehow (?) eaten the whole portion!!

Now how did that happen??

38
I found tins and boxes of Quality Street in coop today!!!

39
Count me in for that Mike. I'll pm you my address if you like.
