Missing UK food

Normally I'm fine and don't miss any, but recently have had a hankering for pork sausages (had some from the local butcher but they weren't nice) and smoked bacon. Curries I tend to try to make myself.
Morrisons short crust steak and ale pies, and pork pies....?

Pork pies are awfully expensive here - we're going to have a crack at making our own soon as it isn't too difficult according to the recipe we have.

I miss the smoked mackerel with the black peppers on it. Yum. Very healthy too.

They do, in some coles branches now. only been there for about the last 8-9 months though, and as I said the majority of bacon in Queensland is smoked, to varying extents. Trust me, I've bought most of it and tried it and it wasn't till the middle of last year that Coles came up trumps. I actually found it in adelaide first, Coles here got it soon after.

Coles have some decent sausages now too :ohmy: Pork with apple and cider, cumberland, and a couple of others. Can't remember the name of the range offhand but they are a gourmet-type thing.
