Calling UK residents! I'm moving to the UK in September. (Scotland, to be precise, and I will be in a big(ish?) town so should be able to get a good variety of stuff?)
What I'd like to know is what kind of GF stuff is available, and which shops are most likely to carry it? (And also so I know which store managers to badger about ordering stuff in if my local shop doesn't carry it :D)
- Can I get fresh GF pasta (not dry) ?
- Can I get fresh GF bread (not frozen)?
- Which brand of GF flours are your favourite (and where do I get them?)
- Does anyone remember which shop carries the double/triple chocolate chip cookies that come in a black and purple box? They are very good and I want a pack as soon as I get there, lol.
- Any other tips for me?

Morrisons
Sainsburys
Waitrose
Tesco
Asda
Lidl
Aldi
Scotmid
Co-op
Spar
Depending on where in Scotland you move, you'll have your choice of them.
Marks & Spencer have food halls in many of their shops and they have a good choice as well.
I have tried some GF stuff from most of them but it is not a requirement for my diet so I am afraid just try the stuff that looks interesting.
