Is it really so difficult ? I can't bear making custard like my Gran used to. Which is rubbish anyway 'cause it's Edmonds not Birds custard powder. Yeah I can buy readymade custard but what I really want is Birds instant custard powder. Vintage marmalade. The local brands of marmalade are to sweet. Cadburys cocoa powder. Yeah I've brought that brand here but it tastes different. Cadburys chocolate seems to taste sweeter too. They seem to have gone down the American route with chocolate and biscuits making them more sweet than they need to be, i.e. more sweet than actual taste. Weight Watchers from Heinz products. Mainstream Weight Watchers meals are yuk anywhere in the world. Paxo stuffing. The local equivalnet tastes like gravel. Sarsons vinegar. Why are the vinegar bottles so large here ? Why are they catering brands ? Small cans of Schweppes tonic water, can only get 330ml bottles here. Oh I've got such a shopping list for Bramptins the next time I visit, which will include Tetley tea bags.
I could moan for England about some things here and I honestly thought I had heard them all, but the sizes of bottles of vinegar has me :rofl:. If it really is so difficult for you to make custard the old fashioned way, with milk and custard powder, have cream or ice-cream instead. Sorted! |

Crikey love, you have to build a bridge, because unless you're the richest woman in NZ you seriously cannot be affording to source or substitute all the UK things you miss from the likes of Bramptins. Your tastes will change, because quite simply, they have to.

The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, is legal to grown in New Zealand and readily available. We have to outsource everything though, even illegal drug production...lazy IMO ;). |

Gammon
Trout Unsmoked rashers Marzipan. Paxo Quorn Quality wine at a decent price Same for beer. Unrotten fruit and vege all year round Bourkes Flat pack kitchens that aren't all the same boring paint finish. :zzz: A roll of wallpaper to check the pattern properly , rather than the wretched swatch books. Off cuts of good vinyl and carpet to re-vamp a room. |

The only way to get cress is to grow it yourself, you can get mustard and cress seeds in the supermarket. |
