Re: What you can't get in Canada
Vimto, I'm going to miss hot Vimto on a cold winter evening.
I'll also miss Staffordshire Oatcakes (have the recipe but not the same) and really hope you can get McVities Digestives over there. I've had three for my breakfast every day since I was 15...a while! Oh, and Singleton's (local butchers) Bacon Chops with mash and cabbage...heavenly.
Non-food items - QI with Stephen Fry and really good, cheap bric a brac and antique shops. Expensive over there.

Re: What you can't get in Canada
where?? real bluebells??
I asked all the canadians i know about this, looked it up on the web and the answer was that there are no bluebells here. There are grape hyacinths and something else thats similar but not the real thing. I would love to be wrong on this - so where are they !!!!

They are of good quality and easy to sprout.
I use stackable tray unit,easy to maintain,just pour the water from the
top of the tray which spirals down to all the trays and to the bottom
tray for disposal.
