1st food hamper
Woohay just recieved our 1st food hamper from my in laws 
My inlaws asked us couple weeks ago what we were missing food wise that we can get in UK but cant find here....Bless them i did'nt think they were going to send it out to us
My daughter has been craving for Pickled Onion Monster Munch since we arrived so she has 12 packs to keep her going...(mind you she is at school at moment so that may be down to 11 by time she gets home)
My son is mad on sage and onion stuffing (Paxo)...He not so keen on the Tandaco make. Can anybody else recommend a brand?
And me, all i could think of was Bisto gravy granule's, Ive been useing Greens which isn't bad but still not as good as bisto!
So have a guess what im cooking for dinner
If anyone knows if and where i can buy these items it will be much appreciated
I didnt think that was bad, 3 items, and ofcourse the less things we miss the more quantity of the 3 items we do miss can be sent out to us

None of my cook books made it out here, probably because they didnt leave the shelf much in UK
Yes wouldnt mind your recipe on the stuffing, with all this time i now have on my hands i could shock the family with some home made recipe's rather than the packets

Hi Claire
There is a shop at Warnbro Fair (this side of Rockingham) that sells all English foods and sweets. Not sure if they have Monster Munch but they sell loads of other bits. I've never been in there but if you get desperate it might be worth a look
.I can't think of anywhere Mandurah way that sells English foods but there must be somewhere. Definitely nowhere in Centro Mandurah that I can think of anyway. If I think of anywhere else I'll let you know.
Bye for now.
