Are there any foods that you wish were more popular where you are?

I wish that garlic flavoured snacks were more popular in the UK. Everything seems to be chilli flavoured. I used to be able to get lovely garlic and herb cashews and other nuts but they've stopped selling them. It's frustrating when you aren't a chilli fan.

I also wish that I could get more seafood flavoured snacks without going to specialist stores and as I'm not a fan of dark chocolate I'd love to have more flavoured options for milk, but it's usually nuts, caramel, orange or sea salt. The more interesting flavours e.g florals seem to be reserved for dark chocolate.

Also, we can now easily buy many American sweets. I'd like to see the same happen with Australian and NZ sweets. They have some really nice gums and chocolate bars. I don't want much I know.

Is there anything that you'd like to see more of in the UK or wherever you live?

Just to Stoke the Gregg's stottie envy. Currently stashed on top of my fridge. No idea what they put in them but they have a week long shelf life.

They appear to have extended the reach, in recent years, but only as far south as teesside.

barbsra one of this Indian street food places opened near us, recently (upstairs from the Gregg's those stottie came from, actually.) set out to try it, last week, but they had a big party in and weren't doing takeaway orders.

@AudTheDeepMinded Tesco and Waitrose both sell McSweeney’s version of vegetarian haggis. OH greatly approves of it.

I really want some Lebanese bread.

@BastardGoDarkly I'm afraid I am a young Loiner, I'm 23. Perhaps the tomato dip died off by the 90s?

Potato cakes (Irish)
Irish curry sauce in chip shops (but imagine my delight when we relocated and found that our local chippy has it!)
Pork schnitzels in restaurants
Goulash in restaurants
Staffordshire oat cakes

Bluesheep8 · 17/03/2019 08:19

Spam fritters and cheese and onion fryits in chip shops. Also, the option to have breaded fish not battered. That was always a thing in Stoke when I was a child.

Bluesheep8 · 17/03/2019 08:28

I honestly don't spend my life in chip shops btw

AudTheDeepMinded · 17/03/2019 09:18

JingsMahBucket not round 'ere they don't! (sob).

JingsMahBucket · 17/03/2019 15:04

Oh no, I’m so sorry for you. Sad Flowers Gin

Decent cream cakes, made that day with real cream.

I'm from the home of Bird's and their shop is to die for
