MOH missed beans and unsmoked bacon, or so we thought. When we went back home and tried them the beans were all watery and the bacon just odd.

I dont really miss any food stuffs apart from decent unsmoked unslimey ham. I havent found any yet. I bought some in a British butchers last week up in Bobcaygeon but it wasnt like yorkshire or wiltshire ham, we had to cook it and then it was ok. So, (ramble almost over), my theory is thats its not worth hankering over whats gone, and that includes ham.

Revels.

Pickled onion monster munch.

but can't complain too much - the olds are over, and i have scoffed already a large bag of revels, some thorntons orange truffles, and halfway through my large bar of cadbury's turkish delight

and even better - oh just came back from scotland a couple of weeks ago and took me heat and grazia! (good job as he only bought a small bag of revels:curse

We miss the different crips, proper bacon & sausages, a good take away. Other than that there is a nice shop we go and get sweets and different goodies from UK at a price.

Hi,

I must admit that I do not miss anything myself, but my better half does like to keep stocked up with Robinsons Orange and Pineapple Squash!

you're joking arent you?? Theres plenty of coleslaw here in many different disguises......There is even a nuclear fluorescent green one. So maybe I see your point after all

I am lazy and so buy bags of chopped cabbage and carrots and then add mayo to it.
