Occasionally I will pop into what used to be branded “British supermarkets” in Portugal for a few bits and pieces that are harder to come by in Portuguese supermarkets. British style bacon is the main one. Also swedes and other Northern European vegetables.

Over the last few years I have watched the branding change from, “direct from the UK” with union jacks everywhere, to “imported from the British isles” (Ireland) to yesterday: “imported just for you” … from the Netherlands.

Tl;dr: even British people abroad no longer import stuff from Brexit Britain.
