Don't miss that much really,only when it gets mentioned do I remember the meals that I enjoy:

salt fish & ackee with dumplings
curries

and of course the people that I don't see so much.

Dubai is home for me, I haven't been back to the UK for 17 years except for about 2weeks in that time. Nothing that I miss.

good choices, i would add selfridges, camden market (before fire) portabella rd, and places like marlow and cookham

For Ireland i would say Lilly Bordellos and Bewleys cafe in Dublin and Busker Browns and The Quays in Galway and ah the smell of freshly cut grass and all the ole eejits holding up the bars at 11 in the morning
