Here in Canada? How long have we got? I think for me the biggest thing I miss is Quorn (I think there might be an entry from me a long time ago about this - someone had a go at me for eating something "like meat" when I was a vegetarian). It's such a versatile product and doesn't taste unpleasant like most of the veggie stuff here. You can get it in the States and I was looking into taking the CAT from Yarmouth to Bar Harbour - $200, I ask you. I decided to take a trip sometime but I can't just nip over the border like I used to when I lived in Niagara.
What I really wish they sold here is anything M & S. M & S had an international operation and a lot of Canadians remember them as quality shops and often tell me how wonderful the food was but that doesn't do me any good!!!! Crumpets and pikelets and Linda McCartney sausages! I can get Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodles in Pete's Frootique so life's not all bad .

You could get a visitor to bring loads someone that knows you well ie sis mum ? and then send back what you don't want, M&S do a 90 day money back ?

imagine if they opened up at customs

No Quorn -?? oh god will starve - thats one of my staples - me and hubby are veggies and kids arent - so can do a passable meaty family meal with it!!

Mine too! (you've probably said elsewhere) but where are you moving to? If you're close to the border you can pop over - most US grocery stores carry Quorn (although they don't do the deli range). There is a quorn website www.quorn.us that lists locations by state that sell quorn products so all is not lost! When I moved to Barrie from St Catharines, I never made a trip to Niagara just to buy Quorn but I have taken advantage of being in NFON to nip to NFNY solely for Quorn. It's always harder to explain to the American border patrol on the way over than it is to the Canadians on the way back (although they all thought I was a bit tapped!)

wonder why
Theres a thread from a while back called Why no quorn in canada, some people use other substitutes, may be worth a look

Eugh quorn, I am a happy meat eater who often orders and eats veggie stylie but I just dont get Quorn.... there is nothing I hate more than ordering vegetable lasagne and finding some plonkers put quorn in it and its really vegetarian lasagne but no-one knows the difference, muppets! and it really upsets my tummy, dunno why must be weird!!

I don't recommend any of the alternatives here - I've been a game gal and tried them all and they're all GROSS!!!!!!!!!! The States is the place to go for veggie fare, sorry to say. Canada's about 13 years behind the UK in terms of thinking "veggie" (although I've heard BC are pretty advanced). Ooh, just remembered Lick's Burgers (and frozen meals). I will eat my words coz Licks veggie stuff is good - their cottage pies are THE BEST Canadian veggie food I've had (don't quote me but I think they're only available in the GTA although we had a Lick's restaurant in Barrie and the Barrie A & P sell their frozen food)
