Hovis
 

Dont ask me why, but for some stupid reason I keep getting cravings for Hovis. I've never seen or tasted anything like it in Aus. Whats the most similar thing you've found in Aus . or does everyone hate it ?

Theres probably other stupid things that you've craved as well.... I reckon thats my most quirky though.

Re: Hovis
 

I really really want Krackawheat... :( can't find anything that tastes similar and haven't found any UK shops selling it. I'm a broken woman till I get some.

Arnotts Vita-Weat ?

Re: Hovis
 

Hovis bread?

Re: Hovis
 

I used to love the Warburtons loaf in the wax packets when I went to uni in Liverpool, mmmmm it was yum, the bread here is ok...not like that stuff they have in America which is sweet, YUCK!

Re: Hovis
 

Yes Warburtons Toastie...but not as toast, just thick butty.

Bread here should be better because generally the wheat is better quality and higher protein (a lot of Canadian wheat in the grist and the milling processed used is what sets Warburtons a side in the main).

However, I have yet to find anything as good as Warburtons.

Re: Hovis
 

Yes the Original stuff.... I can get the Lurpak but thats only half the job :(

Re: Hovis
 

I really miss Gammon oh and cheesy pork pies

I make my own bead so I'm not missing bread but I really hate the rock hard bits of corn in some Granary flour!! off to the dentist to get a filling repaired!!

Re: Hovis
 

Lurpak rules...no question...bloody lovely.

Re: Hovis
 

Garlic bread.taste sensation,it's the future.

Re: Hovis
 

branston pickle

Re: Hovis
 

How about cheesecake? :p

Re: Hovis
 

Yummy :) :)

Re: Hovis
 

No offence peeps but all this craving for breads could indicate a gluten intolerance/addiction.

Have fun with that. :rofl:

Re: Hovis
 

Greggs steak bakes and Ginsters chicken balti pasties. Aussie pies and pastries just don't measure up.

Re: Hovis
 

Naaaaa, I have an addiction to potatoes, much more fun! Crisps, chips, roast potatoes, in fact ANY sort of potatoes. Its the starch apparently, strange thing to be addicted to, but then I'm just odd :lol:

Re: Hovis
 

I was the same before I discovered the Atkins diet. Scrapped the spuds, pasta and beer and lost 11 kilos in 8 weeks.

My Mum was a naturopath and dietician so I learnt quite a bit. Potatoes are bad for arthritis apparently.

Re: Hovis
 

Good for my temper though ;) Some women do chocolate, I do crisps :eek:

Re: Hovis
 

I do women. (Not often enough though)

Re: Hovis
 

:rofl: and are they good for your temper? :sneaky:

Re: Hovis
 

Dunno. I'll have to conduct more tests. :sneaky:

Re: Hovis
 

I can buy this in our local coles - they have a very small section that sells pretty random 'English' foods and Branston Pickle is one of them. Marmite, Ambrosia custard and other things I've never seen or heard of are the others!

Re: Hovis
 

large chunks , small chunks or smooth

Re: Hovis
 

It's just called original so I guess that makes it large,

Re: Hovis
 

assuming that we are talking about Branston, not custard, then it's large lumps AND apparantly Branston has been on sale here for at least 40 years (my wife's input).

Re: Hovis
 

Yep, its in most supermarkets up here, one of the few Brit products my ex knew about, though he'd never had it. Gorgeous stuff, cheese and Branston sandwiches.......yummy, nearly as good as cheese and pickled onions :wub:
