Makes me really grateful for Pete's Frootique in Halifax/Bedford. Though to be honest, there is very little we crave. We buy Robertsons Squash and Bisto Gravy Granules and that's about it. If we go in then we might treat ourselves to some very British things, but most items we can get in the Supermarket (Atlantic Superstore (Loblaws))(marmite, devon custard, english mustard to name a few).
The longer you are here the less you crave them - you adapt and that's how it should be. You moved to another country...adapt.
Cadbury's Twirl anyone?

That might be another one you can cross off your list if it's orange squash... Orange Flavour Crystals (such as Lipton) taste identical to orange squash.

Be careful in there, underneath that folksy old lady persona belies a cutthroat business ruthlessness. I went in for a packet of crisps one afternoon and came out with $120 of stuff I didn't even know I wanted or liked.

On a side note, do you put Ribena in the fridge after you've open it? HID insists but I think its a load of bollox as I don't think we ever did at home.
