For what games and venues? I don't think you will have problems offloading them.

Are you coming to watch some rugby with us in Melbourne at some point?

I once bought a tin of albondigas because my girls wanted to see if they were like the ones they get at school. I had to borrow a tin opener from a neighbour!!

they were foul anyway so it's back to making my own

Is there anything that you wish you stocked up on? :)


We've been here for nearly 6 months.....not missed anything much......as English supermarkets stock gravy, branston pickle, sharwoods curry's etc etc.

When we went back to the UK to visit friends, I brought back HP brown sauce, tabasco sauce and worcester sauce. As they are soooo expensive here.

My friend out here loves Heinz Tomato soup so she get friends to bring out a few tins for winter :) as not came across it out here.

My friends bringing a huge pack of extra mature cheddar as not found a substitute...not even the Irish cheddar from Mercadona......

The last visitors left their shower gel for me, missing the ranges that we take for granted in the UK...only for a second tho....it's little things me miss every now and again.

As still finding our feet....miss going into Boots to get make up, smellies, kids clothes etc.....but as I said it's just we don't know the language to well yet and having two small toddlers, I'm still sticking to a few shops instead of shopping around.

Anyway sorry going on a bit now ..... :D

Mas y mas and Carrefour here stock Heinz tomato soup, as well as several other ones, and there are several British shops here that sell it as well, never had any problem getting it. Mercadonas own brand Depilus are quite good for normal toiletries, seem good quality and last well. Plenty of Aloe Vera products for shower etc. :beer:
