The premise of her comment was that she was making a personal comment about her own visit.

We had a list of food we wanted to resample.. the only things which lived up to memory were me Dad's sage and onion stuffing and the Chinese banquet we had just outside where we used to live.

Oh well.. at least I can stop hankering for it all now

I hadn't been too bad for crisps (I actually typed chips there... I must be more assimilated than I thought ) - my Mam was sending regular food parcels over filled with smoky bacon and prawn cocktail Walkers. Then I realised I preferred Smiths Thin cut Thai Sweet chilli.

Admittedly, the thought of a bag of Walkers (and how much better would it be if they were Tudor, a canny bag of crisps if ever there was one) still gets my tastebuds going.. but its definitely in a nostalgic way.
