Ditto as far as food goes... who can truly remember what a bacon sarie tasted like in the UK after years away? I do remember thinking that much of the Aussie food seemed a little bland in flavour compared to the UK equivalent when I first got here... but that was years ago now.

If Australia was an hour's flight from London maybe it would be easier to notice these things...hmmm...

I'm convinced that the long trip to Australia from Europe or N America is so long and knocks you around -even if you don't suffer tremendously from jet lag that it's hard to make direct comparisons. I've never noticed - maybe I have a dodgy palate.

I've got addicted to those little pots of chocolate sauce that Coles sell in the fruit section, next to the strawberries. Berries dipped in chocolate are pretty 
Don't know if you could get similar in England, if so I never noticed it

Well you didn't quote me very well then. You appeared to be quoting my reply to Uranus..
It was hard for me to answer the original question exactly as it did not apply...(my implication was that if you loved something you might then miss it) but I did attempt to make amends...happy?

I eat a lot more tuna over here, cos its easy fodder for night shift. Used to just eat the plain stuff, but I'm addicted to Tuna with Lime and Black pepper now
