What do you....

There are different foods here, a lot of veg which I have no idea about so we're trying lots of roasted ones.
I cook just as much, if not more than I did in the UK as there aren't really any ready meals like we had in the UK (probably a good thing)
Fav foods still has to be egg & bacon
Chocolate isn't as sweet so I don't eat as much
I don't like tim tams - they are like penguin bars, I prefer kitkats but not the ones here.
I don't think fruit and veg last as long here (maybe I'm doing something wrong) so we buy a lot more as it goes off quickly.
I've started making my own bread rolls, pies, lasagne.
You can only get Bramley apples at a certain time of year so applie pie is off the menu in my house. (I think they use Granny Smiths)
Steak is cheap but the kids have had enough of that now.
Lamb is also fab but again the kids are fed up of it.
I'm finding I go shopping 3 times a week as I dislike the supermarkets here and want to get out of them as quick as I can so don't do a proper job when I go there. (I'd do it online if I could).
there's loads more but can't think of it at the moment.
sorry shiels
