Online food deliveries (non-supermarket)

[calibrax]

I lived up in Aberdeen for 12 years up to 1999, and there are a few Scottish food items that I miss and can't get down here in Kent. Today I had a delivery from Scotland to stock up my freezer - 20 'white puddings', 20 'scotch pies' and a 40 'rowies' (aka 'Aberdeen rolls', aka 'butteries'). That's me set for months now. Being able to order stuff online from anywhere and have it delivered right to my door is just brilliant! How on earth did we ever manage without the internet...!

So what stuff do you order online that you can't get locally?

Got it all from :

http://www.scotsmeat.com/

Delivery is quite expensive as it's next day delivery by refrigerated courier (UK mainland is £11.50 for up to 10kg, then £0.60 per additional kilo), but if you order a decent amount like I did then it makes it worth while. They take orders up to Monday night at 11pm, then they send the orders out on Wednesday for delivery on Thursday.
