And it is not just British food that is the issue for me, it is good quality food and that is something hard to find here. Maybe I am just too picky but there are quite a few things with hardly any taste, I don't mind mayo here but anywhere else it is too strong. Spicy food is hard to find, you go to an Indian and ask for a hot curry and I can eat it no problems, most other places I couldn't.

Many, many well-known brands are produced under licence close to market and to suit local preferences/conditions. Coke is a good example

What difference does this make?

You already didn't like Canadian Cadbury's this is not going to convince you otherwise so what does this information do?

I'm not at all sure of the purpose of this post?:confused:
