Coles does mackerel, it is tinned but smashed up on hot grainy toast with butter and pepper its great. So healthy and like $2 a tin.

I quite like the tins of Salmon and Mackeral with flavours.
I've moved on from the tuna.

Onwards and upwards.

As for pork sausages, you can buy them here. I bought a pack over 10 years ago, in fact, when for some reason, people were a bit glum about it.

Missing UK food :

has anyone seen my bag of Hula loops I left in the kitchen yesterday...

Re: Missing UK food
 

Scouse won't even look at an Aussie snagger. He suffers the pork ones from the British Sausage Company (you buy them in packs in the Coles meat section), but try to give him an Aussie beef barbeque one and you risk death :lol:

Re: Missing UK food
 

I think British food is awful, I don't know how or why it's quite so miserable but clearly...the results speak for themselves.

There are many things we are great at from inventing the telly to building supersonic airliners, and much more...however culinary skills should definitely be singled out as an area for improvement.

A bit ironic from someone living in New Zealand:lol:

Re: Missing UK food
 

Out of date. The food is so good now.

Re: Missing UK food
 

Indeed..I have eaten in far better restaurants in the UK than in NZ or Australia.

Re: Missing UK food
 

To be fair British food has greatly improved in the last 20 years. Back in the 90's it was pretty shite but now its damn good and in many respects trumps the Aussie stuff which has pretty much remained the same in the past 20 years

Re: Missing UK food
 

P@ssing my self laughing. You do know that the UK has more michelin stars than france?
You do know that even the NY Times food writers now spend half their year in the UK because it is a world culinary capital?
You have heard of restaurants such as Dining at Heston?
You do know that chefs from all over the world are clambering for UK produce?

At the same time you get Oz. A parma for $50 please

Re: Missing UK food
 

Does anyone know if the Branston Brown sauce is available in Australia?

Our Range | Bring Out The Branston

I asked at one of those British food retailers and they hadn't heard of it, only the HP sauce or Branston pickle. HP lost it's appeal to me when they changed the recipe & moved production to Holland. Branston uses (if not very similar) the original HP recipe.

Re: Missing UK food
 

There are decent restaurants everywhere if you don't live in woop woop.
I like pub food in both Aus and UK - you should never pay 50 bucks for a parma - and you should be getting a pot with it, the whole point is that it hits the spot nicely.

It's all about mood. Sometimes I want a massive steak with chips, often a parma or some salmon. Not a big fan of UK style 'roast' dinners with trimmings - I can make that at home.

Re: Missing UK food
 

You paid $50 for one? :confused:

Wow

$14 down the road here - and very nice they are too
