Re: Does this mean I'm settled?!
some of them have them near the spices, and some of them have them near the gravy stuff.Don't think I've seen fromage frais though, sorry.

Re: Does this mean I'm settled?!
so true! Some of the supermarket layouts here have no reason or rhyme....Countdown in Mt Wellington so far has floored me - and I'm normally expert in finding where stuff is located

Bramptins - UK grocer in Pakuranga - not far from you might have them
Have you tried Meadowbank Countdown for fromage frais - they have a lot of different things but in small quantities so, as you say, hard to find - also may be called something different here

OK, scratch the settled bit, I bloody cried at the bank today, cos they charged me $5!!! I don't understand the banks here...
I was still a bit wobbly at the supermarket, so that would account for the 4 bags of sweets and 2 bars of chocolate I came away with

Don't be afraid to look at smaller banks and credit unions if you can

Dunno if it would make you feel better to know that I still get teary eyed when I look at the UK section of the international aisle at the supermarket (and I've been here nearly 8 years
). Likewise when I do a bacon butty - every time I tell myself I won't do one again cos it just isn't the same, and then I get that craving for one and I forget the last time....

I had a similar wobble in the supermarket today and spent $4 on 2 cans of IrnBru from the 'worldfoods' section...this homesickness lark could bankrupt me!

I had a weep after work today for no real reason. Just got fed a Jaffa cake so feel a bit better now - what chocolate did you come away with?
