Can't think of anything really - most branded foods like ketchup and Heinz beans are readily available, even found Branston Pickle the other day! Haven't seen Marmite but I prefer Vegemite anyway!
Chocolate isn't so good, but suppose you just get used to it!

Why don't you make the potato bread yourself? My mum used to make them all the time, looked simple and quick enough (although I've never made it - so I'm a fine one to talk) - If I remember correctly it was just mashed up potatoes, mixed with some flour and a little water, made into round like flat pancake shape batches - cooked on a griddle (or hot plate - whatever you call those flat pans) - she always used to make them when I was a kid. There must be a recipe somewhere on the net for them - but I'm pretty sure that's how she used to make them. Used to eat them warm with a bit of Homemade blackberry jam on top - scrummy!

cheers

Anyone know how to make Lavabread? lol - now how many times do I have to boil the seaweed ....

P.S those expat shops, I always find they slug you a bit with the postage, I'm sure they are making money on the Postage/packing bit.

You can get it here - It's next to the jars of fish Pate etc in Coles - which is on the bread aisle in my local shop (heinz sandwich spread it's like thick salad cream with chopped veg bits in it - if it's the same thing you're talking about, yuk - anyway yes you can get here)
cheers
