Nice to hear from someone from the Leicestershire haunts! I lived around there for most of my years too. I miss bits of it, including Loughboro' but like it much better out here (at the Moment anyway)..it sure is a small world!
BTW I'd made Pork Pies for Dicko's for the last 12 years! you may have seen me out the back working.

I don't miss anything from the UK (not even Marmite), but my kids constantly go on about Quavers (the crisps). We found a company here that ships hampers out but it was SO expensive (the cheapest $19.95 for a 'teatime' pack (couple of tea bags and a tea loaf)! So not worth it! Haven't thought about pork pies but yummy! A nice Bowers pork pie with branston pickle!!!

l bet you miss those good old fashioned British Foot and Mouth steaks and Mad Cow Pies. After that disease free Aussie meat must seem rather bland.

Personally speaking although I don't eat meat, but my hubby does... the meat here is full of fat running through it... like people , like animals here
it seems. obese
