What foods would you miss if you lived abroad

[chitchat]

We have just moved abroad and cannot get a lot of our favourite foods like we had back home. What would you miss the most. I am missing Bisto Gravy granules and proper biscuits - chocolate digestives especially the caramel one and jaffa cakes - yum yum

[Daave]

they dont do brown sauce in a lot of countrys.. that'd kill me..
i went to france a few years back, and coulnd get HP to put on my horse steak!

apparently in new zeland/auzzy they make dairy milk differnetly, when my sister went traveling we had to keep sending her the uk versions!

[sasserina]

Cravendale milk..
Tea...
Lurpak spreadable...

If it was very well-known and missable UK food (e.g. HP sauce) then wouldn't it be exported ?

Probably very expensive though. For example House of Fraser stock U.S. imported A1 steak sauce, but it is �5.75 a bottle.

butcher made square sliced sausages and black pudding.

[Daave]

a1 sauce is worth �6 a bottle... whoah! ive got a canadian bottle in my kitchen cupboard, i had a couple of bottles given me as a joke by a mate.. i have brown sauce on everything, it tastes like **** so ive got an unopened bottle.. do you reckon "it tastes like **** " would help it sell on ebay?

None, most of it is pre packed rubbish.

Blyss............ would you miss a haggis supper ?

[elpea]

after a while in India I was drooling for Kelloggs cornflakes with cold soya milk, but the first thing I made when I got home to the UK was toast (white pan loaf) and baked beans. Magic!

I only miss good fish and chips since i have adapted to the german palate.

[orlieborlie]

When I lived abroad I used to bring back, Chef brown sauce, Lyons Gold Label tea, Odlums quick brown bread mix and rashers and sausages. I was popular with my fellow Irish ex-pats!

i would miss nothing.

When I go to see my daughter in Canada I have to take - PG Tips tea bags, Paxo Sage and Onion stuffing, Oxo Gravy Granules, Cadbury Chocolate and Galaxy Chocolate. And I always have to cook a roast while I am there.

[Narolines]

What's square sausage?? I think the only things I'd miss would be HP sauce & Worcester Sauce - but as I can get both in Cyprus it's not a big deal! As most of my favourite foods are Mediterranean anyway, I'm actually better off here, as the stuff I would normally buy in the UK is fresher and MUCH cheaper! And I have 2 grapevines and a figtree in my courtyard...........

[Blyss]

lol crete ..yuck!!!

my HUBBY might miss that though he likes haggis

[willowman]

Soreen Malt Loaf (with lashings of butter)

[steenbrassie]

M&S berry muffin and vanilla bean smootihe, mince pies. penguin biscuits, AMT chai latte, Sainsburies truly indulgent biscuits, & all the great thai food we get in london!

[helliebobs]

My in laws used to live in Malaysia and when we went over they asked us to bring chocolate, teabags and Heinz ketchup. When we visited, we tried the chocolate on sale there and it was disgusting - it was imported from Australia, and like Daave said, tastes very different - not at all sweet.

[chitchat]

I know what you mean about the chocolate coz Im in New Zealand. Apparently its all to do with the milk - different breeds of cows from the UK so the chocolate tastes different. Im told its the same for the ice cream.

[greenday1]

asda's own orange choc chip muffins. need i say more?
