What’s the one food you wish for but can’t get in your area (but really want)?

Inspired slightly by the saveloy thread and those no longer able to attain one.

I went to Key West 6 years ago and I’m still dreaming about the fish tacos. I’ve tried making myself and I can’t get it right. Not a single place in my Midlands city sells fish tacos. I so want them to become popular - can you Deliveroo them in London?

Also Vietnamese. Went to a fab restaurant in China Town and again have had various attempts but not been very successful.

What are you craving that’s hard to get hold of?

Birmingham Bodega does fish Tacos

White pudding supper with salt'n'sauce.

Anyone want to guess where I'm from?

Are you a fellow Edinburgh-er? That was my answer too haha

I just spotted your answer. Yes, I am.

I insist on having chippy when i go home. Last time there was almost a diplomatic incident as L'alba doro were out of white pudding so I had to have haggis.

Sob.

I have trained my london chippy to let me order a supper though.

Really good fresh kimchi

@opinionatedfreak oh I’d have been devastated too!

Really good fresh kimchi

I thought kimchi was a fermented food- and best after months of storage??

A proper parmo sadly not something you can get in Essex.

I want my mum's chicken gravy. Can't get that here. :(

Proper Irish brown bread (soda bread).

My df is back over quite a bit more than me on the ferry and I pester him to bring me home a couple of loaves from supervalu.

I can hike across the city and buy a poor approximation, or I can make my own with not quite right flour, but nothing comes close to the proper stuff. With a good quarter inch of good salted butter on top.

Poutine from Canada. So tasty

South Indian

Birds bakery cream cakes, and their little wholemeal rolls.

This could take a while:

Frying saucers, a deepfried delicately herbed mince and breadcrumb pattie in nz, topped with watties spaghetti, cheese and parsley
NZ whitebait patties and crayfish
A japanese katsu curry with uncrumbed chicken, and a ton of veges we used to get from a little takeaway place in London.
The most amazing Chicken Korma from a silver service restaurant in London, The Old Delhi.
A potato top pie, or steak and mushroom, from Kidds in Christchurch in NZ
Ditto a sausage roll or ham roll from the same place
A greek Lamb burger from Burger Wisconsin in NZ
Mrs Registers Pumpkin pie, my sister's MIL, lovely lady, even better pie, with cream straight from the cow!
My Mum's braised steak, also her salmon loaf.
Spanish breakfast sausages.

Ham and pease pudding stotties and a pork and stuffing roll with a bit of crackling from a pork shop on Percy Street ( this was in the 70s in Newcastle)

Plantain. After holidaying in the Caribbean and tasting jerk chicken, rice and peas and plantain I really, really want to cook it. I can’t get plantain anywhere around here 😞

A fellow Edinburgher! I’ve been in Glasgow for 7 years and while I’ll accept salt and vinegar, I miss proper chippy sauce more than I miss my family

It is a @speakout

You can still buy it. The best (in UK) is from a stockist in London that doesn’t deliver outside of London.
