You could always phone the Whiskas people, tell them your dilemma and ask for the recipe. I believe they're in Waltham Cross from memory, my baby doesn't like Whiskas.

Haggis pudding supper from the chipper. Yummmm (Was the first meal I had when i got back home on a recent visit and did not disappoint).
And talking of sausages what is it with cafes (not just mediterranean ones) using chorizo sausage with a cooked breakfast?
It's just plain wrong.(plus they usually stick about a whole fields worth of spinach on it for some reason).
Have considered taking my own packet of sausages in and asking them to substitute.

Anyone in the vicinity of the Night Owl in Cannon Hill (formerly IGA) or Night Owl Gladstone, Celtic Koala now supply their goods to them 
They also do deliveries across Australia from the shop in Lutwyche for most of their products - and they have the best fish n chip shop this side of the world

That could almost be Welsh!!!!
I miss Ready Brek, but I'm not allowed to have gluten, so couldn't have it even if it was available here.

Guinness in Australia comes from one brewery and it's all shite (someone told me it's made from concentrate, like cordial. Don't know how true that is).
Only Guinness made in Dublin is any good (which is why they closed the brewery in London).

One of the worst pints of Guinness I ever had, was at the Guinness factory
. But had some bootiful pints in many an Irish pub Not had draft Guinness here, only imported in cans, which is passable.

Had some in Dublin once and it was very good. Nothing else seems to come close.
