Stocking up before leaving....CANADA
Okay - we have had the "what food do you miss most from the UK" thread....so what food would you miss the most if you had to leave Canada?
I am currently addicted to Philly Light Strawberry flavour - though am doubting it's dieticiousness when you eat a whole pot in one go...!

Nanaimo bars. 
But each one probably contains a zillion calories.

Totally true.
Input > Output = Fatty......
....Monitoring your food intake does help though. I can email you my WW spreadsheet I used to use for my own personal dietary needs. Out of all the nutrition/diet things I have tried, I find WW the best. If you want to eat what you want (in moderation) that is. If you want a better way of life, then choose Atkins.

Re: Stocking up before leaving....CANADA
My fairer half has recently started on the weight watchers program (completely unnecessary but she says it's important so I'm trying to offer support). One day we were talking about where various foodstuffs fell on the table of 'points' and I was aghast at how much normal things 'cost'. I asked how much a choccie bar was and after a search she said 'There isn't a listing for chocs, I guess nobody on the program is stupid enough to admit to eating them' .lol.

Not sure which book your OH is using but the one I have details all food categories, including sweets and chocolates. WW advocates healthy eating and recognises that we all need our "fix" of goodies.

When I lived in England my 'care packages' contained these foods:
canned pumpkin
engevita yeast powder
canned chipotle peppers
packages of hot wasabi peas
various SE Asian and Mexican food stuffs (hot sauces, soup stocks, spices, sushi stuff)
Cheez Whiz
Okanagan fruit leather
Hawkin's Cheezies
Ibarra chocolate
Coffee Crisps
my fav coffee beans
Ideally I would have liked:
perogies
wild blueberries
fresh, wild steelhead
Japanese cukes, sake and miso
decent tofu
'Holy Hummus'
fresh picked ears of 'peaches and cream' sweetcorn from Silver Rill farm
