I'm going back to Plymouth to live next month after 15 years here so will hunt them out, Saltash I assume? 
Also fresh cockles from the Panier Market on them little ceramic dishes with salt, pepper and vinegar, same stall been there 45 years now run by original owners grand daughter.

You'll probably notice a lot of changes when you go back, especially the monstrosity they call a shopping centre at Drakes Circus!!

I've been back 7 times in last 12 months on business so pretty familiar with the changes, new shopping centre is far too crammed in I reckon. Just rented a house in Ivybridge for next 12 months so looking forward to spending time at 'home' (even though I'll be away on business most weekdays)

Re: BRITISH FOOD YOU MISS ?
Yeah thats the one. Guess I'm immune to the inflated price of many things over here now. I went back to the UK recently and refused to pay any more than 50 pence for a bar of chocolate. And then chuckled to myself when I realised I pay probably 75p + a bar over here all the time!!

Will catch up with Revels (only recalled now they are mentioned) next week, maybe Crumble Corners.
Once I am back in Australia they will fade back into obscurity. That's how it seems to have worked for us.
