Hey, BigBadJohn!
Welcome to the board! I'm Canadian, but recently lived in London for 4 years while working on my degree (I have a PhD in Old English, for all the good it does me!). I wasn't low carbing then, but I know what you can buy at Tesco's....! And love that Marks and Sparks!
I doubt very much that you can buy low carb products such as pastas, potato substitutes, etc., anywhere outside the US; we can't even get them in Canada. But you don't need the 'products' to have a varied and delicious low-carb diet. All you need is meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese, low-starch veggies, nuts, spices, and maybe a few products you can pick up at the local health food shop, such as soy flour. If you like cooking, check out the recipies available on this site under 'recipies' and 'Karen' above; also check out the "food ideas" section on this forum.
Hope to be hearing more from you! How's life across the pond?
Rachel
