British Expats reared in GB, come wallow in unrequited food porn love with me, I'll go first

[suzywong]

these are making my pulse race faster

your turn

lol.

no other sausages will do?

oh yes there are plenty, this is just foreplay, a bit of a teaser

in fact I am going through every department of Ocado dribbling over my favourites, irreplacable unduplicatable delicacies that I sorely miss.

there's nothing quite like this over here either

yum. clotted (ice)cream. i didn't grow up in GB so I can't join in.

what do you use the clotted cream for?

can we do this the other way around? (american living in GB)

DH orders bottles of the stuff off ebay for me sometimes when I get desperate. Hidden Valley

I can't be bothered finding a photo of a melton mowbray pie - but as I am coeliac living abroad is a blessing!

Sob

Drool

Yum

Really strong salt and vinager crisps are about the only thing I miss but my dc who were reared in Germany can't live without marmite and branston. Ds starts to worry when the marmite pot gets half empty.

really strong chedder cheese

and really soft bread
and marmite
better stop now

oooohhhhhh donuts with respberry jam
yum.....not things called 'krapfen'
im hiding the lap top now

How about yorkshire puds with gravy (I just can't make them here and I don't know why).
Good freshly made mint sauce - only good with the right vinager.
I'm getting hungry now too.

You're right, the chedder here is so mild, you need a good strong mature chedder to make cheese on toast.

I'm with Califrau, Kenyan-made Cadbury's or this? There's no competition

Scotch eggs as a guilty treat.

Cadburys hot chocolate.

Heinz beans (the ones we get here are not the same, despite being made by Heinz)

Barrs Irn Bru (although a can a year does me, it is more the nostalgic taste of summers past)

Meat pie from Nichol's Rosebank Bakery in my hometown

Chicken Kiev

Fish and Chips

Damn you, Suzywong, you have got me hungry for stuff I cannot have now.

My brother can make FANTASTIC yorkshire puds, he says they are not difficult. Shall I ask him for the recipe?

Yes please KS and ask if he uses a certain kind of flour too, thanks! In the UK mine work every time so don't know if it's my oven or my flour!

Another vote for really strong cheddar. Luckily we get to GB four times a year and are visited equally often so the periods without just help me appreciate it more.

Oh yes, cheddar cheese, Branston and Fish and Chips.

And funnily enough, a decent piece of beef. We bought rib-eye from Asda when we were over last summer - can't find anything remotely comparable here in Germany.

Proper Cornish Pasties
Cadburys ( anything)
Clotted cream must be super fresh
Heinz salad cream
Grape nuts cereal
red Leicester cheese
Eccles Cakes
Really good fish and chips
My mums apple pie
In fact anything my mum cooks.
Roll on summer...........
There is a web site that does parcels but if I remember correctly the postage was huge!

when i go and visit one of my oldest pals who now lives in spain, i always take lots of strong cheddar for he and her catalan bf, who also likes it muchly.
i am a Good Friend

anyone gets desperate for a care parcel from uk for spec occasion or summat, shout me, i like doing stuff like that. makes me feel all warm inside. arf.

see at least for us aussies - they made a shop so we could get out delicacies - or at least our sweets etc from the Aussie SHop in Covent Garden when desperate.

Perhaps there is a business for you there Suzy - you could manage/open the first Waitrose in Perth!!! No doubt with a huge expat community - you would have plenty of customers.

Oh, Nappiesgalore is going to be innundated with requests for Cheddar and Branston Pickle.

My Mum is good at bringing stuff over. And there are a couple of British Shops here.

Any other Germany-dwellers weep when M&S closed their stores in Germany?

yeah suze, i'll be your uk buyer.
as if. the prices would be astronomical by the time we got them there... which is why no-one does i guess

Oh Cumberland sausages, forgot all about them, it's been 2 years...
My kids miss Heinz Crema of Tomato soup
For me it's nipping out to the chippy for a treat that I miss the most.

BTW I make great Yorkies, only since I couldn't get Aunt Bessies.

Nope Sugarmagnolia, Brits Only. Awfully sorry, but that's just the way it is on this thread.

next

oh clotted cream clotted cream clotted cream clotted cream
clotted cream clotted cream

I miss proper (non-UHT) milk, Yorkshire tea, unsmoked bacon, English pancake/Yorkshire pudding mix, fresh cream. But we are lucky lots of UK stuff is available in Singapore. Have just had Waitrose frozen cheesecake for tea .
