Looking forward to the food
 

Not long now and I'll be back and I've been thinking about all the things I missed about NZ whilst I was living in the uk and we got onto the subject of food. I am so looking forward to some treats I remember, that you cant get here in the UK

Hokey Pokey ice cream
Minties
Choysa Tea
skippy cornflakes
and my all time fav - Griffins chocolate macaroons

I'm drooling as I type :rofl:

We are a funny lot aren't we. I won't buy anything other than Kellogs Corn Flakes, OH says he hates the skippy ones. I loved Tetley tea but have resigned myself to PG here. (Not tried Choysa) I think it is what you are brought up eating that sets you up for a lifetime of taste be it sweet or savoury. I would give anything for a cornish ice cream 0r a devonshire one with a dollop of Clotted cream on the top (naughty but nice!!) Some McVities rich tea bikkies would be nice too!

clotted cream HHmmmmm !!!!!
I've not seen that since we got here.
the kiwi version tastes like that horrible
squirty cream in a can

How about Angus fillet stak for about $17 a kilo..sometimes less?? Its normally $30 a kilo but Woolworths always have lots reduced as its on its sell by date. I buy it and freeze it. Which is handy. I love kiwi food. We eat way better than we did in the UK.
