I just found this on the BBC site. I have not read it all.

I stopped reading when I got to the last two words of the first paragraph ...

Somewhat simplistic.

BEVS

I'd go along with that. Somewhat unrealistic also. Probably written by someone who hasn't a personal clue.

Sally Redux

Agreed.

I almost expected a supporting book to appear at the end too.
Well it may help someone.
Not sure I miss any food so far.

Does this thread help or hinder.

No cheese please. I'm British.

It's a lovely thread and very heartwarming in many ways! I didn't read it all but nice to see people actually able to talk freely about such things without insults being flung and others trying to derail or telling folks to go home, get a life etc.

The addition of cheese to Kiwi pies can only be a good thing; I find many other things that are horrible (such as cauliflower) can be made all the more palatable with the addition of some cheese.

Having just been in the UK for 3-4 months I am afraid to say I did indulge myself: fish and chips, various cheeses, a Christmas tube of Rowntrees fruit pastilles, maltesers, Heinz baked beans with and without sausages, curries, pizzas, steak and kidney pies...and I lost weight!!

Bear in mind I am stuck in America so my desires were tinged by what I can't either get or eat here. The food is much fattier, sweeter and saltier here I have always cooked from scratch wherever I've lived but we've pretty much given up on anything not homemade. Don't know what I'd do without a breadmaker

The homesick thing is a little simplistic. Sometimes a place or country is just not 'right' and never will be, just too many things that don't fit an individual's idea of what they want from life. I don't class myself as homesick, just not suited to living where I currently am. I knew this would be the case-and not just because of not being able to work.

Can't wait to return to NZ in November

Here's a little pick me up thread. for the down hearted.
