But more importantly, are they available in the US? Otherwise I will have to buy some before I leave.
I got some of them at a Safeway (grocery store) and I've also seen them this year at The Container Store. You might have to call around, but you can get them. They were in stock last Saturday at The British Pantry in Aldie, Virginia. All the places I've mentioned have web sites in case you want to check for a location.

Cheers!
