Not too much I miss that I can't get here, or have family send over. My Sis is hopefuly coming for Christmas and I will be asking her to bring Christmas crackers and a big tin of roses

Maltesers. How I wish I'd filled a suitcase with maltesers and cadburys when I came over.
Also fairtrade instant coffee, Marmite and good cheddar.

Re: Edible delights you miss or will end up missing...
Firstly let me say that although the hour is late, I am not intoxicated. I can appreciate that it may seem that way ... let me explain.
I'm sitting here eating the last few fizzy blue and pink bottle-shaped sweets that I had in my cupboard and I've just realised that I will not be able to go without these little pieces of sugar-candy delight when I eventually move across to the grand old U S of A.
So what I would like to know (because a) I'm nosy and b) I have far too much time on my hands) is, what do you miss the most or what will you miss once you move? Alternatively are there items in the USA that you miss while you're here? For me, I miss Kashi cereal - love it and you can't buy in the UK.
Fellow forum members... the floor is yours

You can get a lot of stuff which is very similar but has a different name.

I have tried whoppers, I don't think they taste anything like maltesers
Between Ghiradellis, Milka and Lindt I can almost get by without Cadbury, almost, but I haven't found anything to replace Maltesers.

I bought my Christmas crackers at the weekend from Costco. Luxury crackers with gifts you can actually use.
