Hmmm... i buy unsalted butter, and there's no added color, so it's 
often rather pale yellow...

I love well aged cheddar. I can find it, but it's certainly more 
expensive than the bright orange rubbery cheddar at the average 
supermarket.

The Berkeley Bowl has imported Salad Cream, and mint sauce and jelly...

Campbell's makes, or used to make, something they called "Scotch 
Broth". I don't know if they still do - i haven't bought Campbell's 
soups for many decades - and i don't know how different it may 
be/have been from what you long for. IIRC, it had barley in it, and 
small chunks of meat, maybe lamb. I can't recall what else it had in 
it, it has been a long time since i had any.

Can't speak to Sloppy Joe mix, since i've never bought any.
