What I miss most of all are the sweets and chocolate. I'd do anything for a curly wurly!
Thats a shame, do you not have a British shop nearby?

I'm afraid not. I'm stuck in a weensy little neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. Bizarrely enough we can get marmite and HP sauce but no choccy!

I did however find some fruit pastilles once, but they were horrid, sticky and dried out! I cried a little that day

Keep looking you are bound to find somewhere. Took me about 4 years but I now know of several stores nearby where I can stock up on Cadbury's goodies...trouble is I scoff the lot within hours.

My Mum's Yorkshire pudding rise more. They don't look so sunken.

She also makes lemon meringue pies with incredible peaks. I don't know how she does it. I've not seen any other lemon meringue pies with such height.

If you make Yorkies in a large pan they don't rise so much in the centre...doesn't detract from the flavour.

BTW I love LM pie. The secret is to bake it long and slow. My fav is using digestive biscuits for the base.

Ritter sport I can find easily enough but Cadburys is a completely different thing these days. They've licensed it to Hersheys and we all know how that swill can't be classified as 'chocolate'!

Hersheys version of 'Cadburys' is different because they use a higher fat content in their chocolate to hold the bars together making it easier to transport. (Straight from the Sales & Marketing Director of Cadburys a few years ago !)
It has that extra 'puke' flavour, is how I would describe it. But If you like Galaxy chocolate then 'Dove Kisses' taste just the same

I flat out refuse to buy HP Sauce now that Heinz shut the plant down in Aston and moved production to Holland. They can **** right off. :curse:
