Re: What you can't get in Canada
Went to the local supermarket today,( Overwaitea, great name eh)
asked for gravy granules. Met with blank stares. When I explained two or three spoonfuls in a jug and add hot water et voila gravy, the elderly lady behind us said that if we could get some then she wanted the first case!!

Think you will have to get someone in the UK to ship some over to you
We have quite a few 'British' products available here like Ambrosia custard (my favourite), Pataks sauces, HP Brown Sauce, Yorkshire Puddings, Branston pickle ....................

Re: What you can't get in Canada
Just a thought
This may sound silly
, but when we move over will it be a problem to ship with our furniture a couple of boxes of our favourites which we know may be difficult to get..like quality street, dairy milk, galaxy etc ( are we allowed to bring foodstuffs like that into country?)

Re: What you can't get in Canada
You can also cross Dairy Milk off the list.
You can get some Cadbury chocolates, (Dairy Milk, Flake, Crunchie, etc), but not all, unless you go to a British import store or a chocolate/candy import store. My local British import store even sells the Cadbury selection gift boxes!

Re: What you can't get in Canada
I used to use the Bisto Best ones as they are gluten free and the other Bisto granules and powder arent. Now I use Knorr veloutine to thicken the juices from the joint and usually add a bit of marmite to the gravy. It makes yummy gravy and so we dont miss Bisto.

Re: What you can't get in Canada
You've very much welcome! Believe me, I understand!
By the way, just so you have more of an idea, take a look at the list of "chocolate bars" at the local pharmacy:
http://www.londondrugs.com/Cultures/...&Sort=0&Page=1
Now, London Drugs is a Vancouver-based company, but it shows you that all hope is not lost!
