Foods I miss from the country of my birth

[Scunner]

You are all very spoilt these days UBT, like you say you can get most things. In 2004 you could get nothing "British" at all, except the occasional rogue batch of McVities chocolate digestives or Salt and vinegar crisps that would spark an ex-pat Wacky Races competition up the Calis to Migros road

[Bluwise]

You can get little individual portions of marmalade and jam in B&M (like the hotel ones) - really handy to pack for Calis as the jam over there is like tasteless jelly!

[desmartinson]

Bluewise, you can get raspberry jam in bims which is delicious and moorish,

Just googled your dock pudding, it sounds very tasty.  Holland's pies are not bad either

My family laugh when I go supermarket shopping in the UK, I dont go round mentally adding up the price, just the weight.

Here's one of the few photos I can find of them Ian - they aren't around much and I remember they often had a white ingredients/bar code label over foreign writing - worth trying B&M, Home Bargains etc for them too as it might be imported in the foil pouches:

Poundland and Tesco's do 'em too

now thats one thing i do miss, melton mowbrey pork pies.oh and cathedral extra mature cheddar cheese

[kayakebab]

The Thai green curry paste in Kipa is absolutely delicious mixed with coconut cream, milk and a little bit of sugar.
They've also got large jars of Hoisin sauce in there at the moment and that's probably the nicest I've had.
Other sauces are so easy to make, sweet and sour, sweet chilli etc,
If anyone wants recipes let me know!

The things I miss most are mature cheddar, Kenco really rich coffee and Nestlé double choc mochas
