Guest Philosopher Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I miss good quality ham off the bone from Morrisons, the Morrisons salad cart too. The cakes and desserts are nicer at home too. A decent chippy with cut potatoes put in the fryer to create chunky soft chips yum yum with some cod or haddock. Also cadburys chocolate as it is in England. I can live without the above but if anyone knows of anywhere decent to get them do let me know :cute:x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthPomToBe Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I do miss proper chippy chips, I haven't found anywhere that do them like back home. You can get a decent fish supper at freo though. I also miss the good old British pub! Really miss a Sunday pub lunch. Mind you if that is all I am missing then I think I'm doing all right!

linda@no9 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hubs is missing cadbury chocolate. He says the whole nut just aint the same. I just hope I can get Marmite. Seriously, its the only thing I can stomach when ive been ill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greensinperth Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 chocolate isnt the same because the ozzie cadburys use a different sugar, apparentley. sound plausable to me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Philosopher Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I heard its because Cadburys use a different oil in the chocolate to change the texture so it doesn't melt so quickly. Plus its very cheap and nasty and helps them to make more profits as there will be less of the good stuff in there so bulks it out and tastes weird. But there is alot of Cadbury chocolate in the shops over here so many different flavours that we don't get in the Uk too. Perhaps it helps to sell it as the chocolate isn't as nice so they add things to intice us to buy. I'm a chocoholic and won't touch it. chocolate isnt the same because the ozzie cadburys use a different sugar, apparentley. sound plausable to me though.

JaynBev Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Must admit we're still struggling to find anything we actually miss. We thought for awhile it was a ready made cottage pie ala M&S / Sainsburys but then we found one in IGA that was fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest racheldarkesouthwood Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 This is a good post, so I'm going to resurrect it! Definitely agree with the sausage thing, but also massively agree that your memory of something tasting 'better in the UK' is always inflated, and you very quickly get used to things how they are here, so they taste a little odd when you go back to the UK. I simply can't believe the variety here - IGA is surely the best supermarket in the world?! There is literally one of everything ever produced as food!!

phil Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 IGA does rock. If they had McVitie's chocolate homewheat digestive biscuits, I'd live in one. I've missed things like proper Peroni, but my local bottle-o has started importing it. And I may have alleviated my bacon craving - getting some delivered from aussiefarmersdirect.com.au I'm still kicking myself that when I saw bottles of Sarson's in a Coles a couple of months back I didn't buy some. Not seen them since :-( I've given up on Aussie chocolate I'm afraid - just pay the extra for Swiss stuff now. If I visit the UK again, I'm going to buy four boxes of Seabrook's prawn cocktail crisps, three of their Canadian Ham flavour and 8 boxes of Monster Munch (any flavour), bury myself in them and then eat my way out.

Guest racheldarkesouthwood Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Lol Phil! I'm a savoury person, too ;O) but find the smiths (or Coles' own) s&v perfectly satisfactory. I brought my cousin a load of McVities out here - he put them straight in a biscuit tin! Look out for when I come back because I'll bring you some stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
