I will make a point of going to that place recommended by JTL, (thanks for that) before I go back for my holiday, as a reference point.

I have opened up for business with a website www.shoppingfrombritain.com - check it out and give me some orders/feedback. Postage and packing is discounted over the rates that family/friends could send things out to you for, and I am happy to stock extra things if you ask.

& a hint form gary rhodes best of british cookbook... add an egg white, I tried it the other day and they worked for the first time ever.
Marmalade is rubbish here, but DJs does a nice one, but of course, it's about $8 a jar.

Surfdude...yorkshire pudding recipe from a yorkshire lass....: 4 heaped tablespoons of plain flour, 2 eggs, pinch of salt, bit of water and milk. Mix the flour, eggs and salt together, slowly add the water/milk until you get a kind of thick cream consistency.
Very important to whisk the mixture thoroughly to get air through the mixture (this helps it to rise)...I use the electric mixer for this. Leave mixture to stand for at least 10 mins...
Make sure oven is really REALLY hot, put pudding tray in oven with a bit of oil in each and heat until the oil is sizzling. Put in mixture and put into oven.
MOST IMPORTANT PART: DO NOT open the oven until they are cooked..otherwise they will go flat. I usually leave them at least 10 mins (depending on your oven) before attempting a sneaky look.
Very easy once you've got the hang of it and remember the two rules!!
love sophia xx
ps, sorry for the rather strange mixture of answers in this post!!!
