They sell snot noodles here, why would your daughter miss them They also sell Marmite so again, there's no reason to miss it.

I don't miss any foods from the UK. I love the food I get here, I loved the food I had there, sometimes it's the same, sometimes it's different. No worries.

Red Rock Deli Chips are fan dabby dozy. I always thought I'd miss Walkers. I really don't.

Right, I'm going to grow my own tomatoes. And I don't like crisps, marmite or bacon. I can make my own curries so I'll be cool!

All my friends are Zimbabwean and they're always talking about foods they miss so I am making a point of knowing that certain foods won't be available and checking what is available so that I can just wean myself off of favourites now.

Weetabix will be my hardest becuase I have it everyday for breakfast ...
