Hello, I was wondering what foodstuffs you miss most from the U.K.? Certain tastes and smells can instantly transport you thousands of miles, what's yours?

Bisto - not that I miss it as you can find it over here. My Australian wife agrees that it is superior to Gravox.

Marmite but mymate is a good if not exact substitute

Cadbury's mini eggs.

Proper gammon, though I have now found a butcher in Warringah Mall who does it, but it is very expensive, so I only buy it at Christmas and Easter. He does lovely sausages too - employs an Irishman and an Englishman.

If anyone in Brisbane northside is looking for somewhere to get UK products,

I miss the food museums that British Rail used to have on their trains. Particularly Ye Olde Scotch Egg.

I do miss Scotch Eggs actually.

Wouldn't go out of my way to buy one though.

They're not hard to make - perhaps you should give it a bash?

(Personally, I'd add some herbs and a bit of chilli to the sausagemeat in the following recipe)

Easy peasy scotch eggs

Wow... I might just do that Thanks.

Prawn cocktail flavour crisps

My OH would agree with that.
Personally M&S meal deals!

I did the Heston Blummental ones the other week as a starter. They have a soft yoke and I served them with soldiers of asparagus to dip in. Yummy and easy as

+1 from young spark on the prawn cocktail - he's been missing prawn cocktail pringles

I love M&S, Waitrose, even Tescos - really like all those good English supermarkets!



Will miss!

Yes but you will be able to make up for it with visits to Coles or Woolworths or Coles or Woolworths or Coles or Woolworths...

You will love fillets of kangaroo, vegemite on toast, milo and lamingtons and your affection for these antipodean delicacies may quickly make Waitrose nothing but a distant memory.
