just responding to daffodils comment about tescos and it reminded me, when i was in H this year, i went into Azda as me and the fella were having dinner in the apartment for the night, and i noticed that Azda were selling Tescos own spag bol sauce! i cracked up and took a picture, then on closer inspections they had Tescos produce tucked away here there and everywhere in the shop! how do they do it!?

Lots of things are now more easily available albeit at a price.
BUT I still miss golden syrup, fresh double cream, licorice allsorts & terrys chocolate orange (well its nearly christmas)
Black Bishop cheddar, Barkham Blue. Parma ham,a nice boiled gammon oh the list goes on and I wish I hadnt started it.......
The fresh fruit and veg here ae infinitely superior though and I can see now why I have lost so many kilos being in Turkey.

Smokey bacon crisps, mild cheddar, ritz crackers,cream crackers,salted butter and lemon curd.



I know this post is ancient, but in desperation, I found recipes on the net for marmalade, lemon curd and cornish pasties. Ingredients for both are available here, and they were DELICIOUS and easy :P I also miss soft white bread, so finally bought a bread maker from Kipa and I'm away laughing, albeit with butter and marmalade on my chin...

Have a look in the baking aisle at Kipa, they had almond,and rum essence yesterday, although I didn't notice any vanilla.alternatively use vanilla sugar in baking.I find homemade Italian sauces taste better, loads of recipes on the internet.
