Marmite on toasted & buttered raisin bagels is awesome.

Who gets TV through the computer and how? I thought it wasn't possible because of the licencing laws in the UK? I avidly watch all the Brit dramas on BBC Canada, CBC Country Canada and Showcase but it'd be nice to see some of the other shows from back home like 'They Think It's All Over' (if it's still running), talk shows (Graham Norton's on BBC Kids) etc

Uk live tv.com........But you have to pay a subscription.

Esme

Thankyou Sans!

I'll pay anything for UK TV! Can't wait to get home tonight and set that up

sans

you can get a weeks free trial first, before you subscribe......to try it out but once you've had it for a week, you wont want to loose it

Sorry I havn't read the whole thread....its huge.
And I havn't got enough time at the moment.

We too are in Moncton or near it. We are on the Hillsborough road, 10 mins out of Riverview. Been here since May last year.

I can't get gravy granules in this part of Canada although I know some can in different parts of the country.
We have had it smuggled in before, but have now run out.
Thats the only thing I find difficult cos we love gravy and mine is now rubish.

So how do others make gravy that is edible here. Answers on a postcard please.

I love the Hillsborough area! It's the very place that made me know I wanted to live in the Atlantic Provinces! Enjoy!!!

Thanks Esme for the tip.
I have seen Petes Frutique, but never been in.
Isn't evevrything english prohibitively expensive there?

Esme

There's no such thing as "prohibitively" when you miss something! Everything has a price and after 4 years of paying top dollar for my English food I really don't care!!!!

Like many on this forum, I use the meat juices and cornflour (cornstarch here) with veg/potato water added. Sometimes I add a little dehydrated beef bouillon....as much for darkening as extra flavour, depending on the meat and whether it's just portions rather than a whole joint or chicken.

My Canadian wife marvels at it and says it's awesome.

However, those Club House sauce mixes are not bad. Especially the Chicken/Turkey ones. It goes wonderfully on mashed potato/turnip/carrot.
