lol..... youre as bad as me!!! My mum still sends me parcels every few weeks full of t-bags, Angel Delights, choccy bars etc. I have to be careful as I only have to say I miss something and she sends it. She sent us a Fray Bentos pie a few months ago.... didnt taste as good as we remember them to.

Cheeky
I know what you mean though it looks terrible doesn't it, it's unwaxed and I just give it a scrub with hot water and detergent every now and again to bring it back to something like.

Yeah, you can only get them there It's a bit of a joke among Irish expats - crisps used to always be the first thing you'd buy when you got back to Dublin airport

Nice one Sky - I'm going to try that Nutella

But it doesn't always work does it...sometimes those English types forget what they doing and they send you new flavours of things not the traditional as it used to be sort...We had a simular parcel from my Nan and because hubby has been off work for two weeks, he has definately ate the loins share. What I like is the little sweets, Parma Violets and the such!!!

I bought a big jar of nutella the other day! YUM!

Sky, know what you mean about taste buds - friends brought me back a beef pot noodle a few months back - I was so excited! heehee. But so disappointed when I ate it - have they changed the flavour or something? I had to add all sorts to it.

Not liquorice ones I hope!!

Same as us when we ate the Fray Bentos pie that mum sent the other month.... it just wasnt as good as we remembered them to be.

Batty (ha ha)n I was sewing the other day and listening to the radio and trancing out as i do and I ended up listening to a programme all about King crisps - the history, the development etc. etc. I'd never heard of them until then but by the end I was DESPERATE to try them

Oh stop!!! The only good thing about not being able to get them is that I've lost weight - a packet of crisps a day is like drinking so many litres of cooking oil a year!!!!!!
