Do miss the huge selection of cheese at the supermarkets back in the UK. Used to love going in and buying a few different types and then just pigging out on cheese

Re: What food etc do you miss from U.K
I agree with caroline, we never ate much "muck" as we call it back home, (only if we wanted something quick for the kids)....but i must admit it's nice to see that the supermarkets don't have aisle after aisle of frozen food...
I do miss my Indian takeaway although saying that we haven't had one here yet so can't really compare!!!
we've tried things that we'd of never have had back in the Uk like crayfish (caught by Oh himself) and Mussels just things that you wouldn't think of buying oh and i agree also Caroline that the sausages we get made by the butcher are DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

when we came over in June last year we went to Flame on Devon St, new Plymouth but it wasn't a scratch on the one we had back home...
But then again new life also intales new eating habits, less muck and more fresh produce.... HERE HERE i say the Veg from the local farm shop is Terrific....

I don't care what anyone says i ain't giving up Indian's and alcohol so if i had to make a choice it would have to be indian!!!!!
Mind you drinking Alcohol without good friends around you just don't seem the same on your own!!!
I miss going out to the pub dancing the nite away and getting legless...Lol
But i'm sure t won't be long before we know enough people to be able to throw a knee's up.....
