I miss ginger nuts from the UK, as well as Branston Pickle and indeed Marmite, though I can now get that 'af en toe' in Dutch supermarkets!!

Now you mention it gammon is pretty yummy but I've never craved it and it's not available even in France. I'm a marmite fan and always have a pot but it's easily available in the British aisle in the local supermarket. Like you I've moved around so much that I son't really have anything from "home" that I need just things that are nice treats when I can get them (like TimTam biscuits from Australia!)Phoebe @ Lou Messugohttp://www.loumessugo.com/en/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-66362413173567994672015-06-18T14:06:34.724+06:002015-06-18T14:06:34.724+06:00Ah yes I get this!

Having posted about my enormous box of Yorkshire Tea that I was taking to South Africa just the other day, I can't deny that that is one thing I will be taking with me. As children in the Philippines, we also had the same thing as you in Nigeria - beautiful mangos coming out of your ears, but apples were what we all wanted! We also lived in Nigeria and Venezuela - so again, I know where you are coming from. I also remember Limca although I think I remember it from travelling in India.....<br /><br />What I love about posts like this are the commonalities. It really makes you feel less alone in your expat experience!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-24657749955236310842013-03-17T21:00:51.792+06:002013-03-17T21:00:51.792+06:00Hi Diplomatic Dog.

I miss crayfish and red red (spicy beans) from Ghana and I miss Belarus' Spartak chocolate. <br /><br />I think British sausages and bacon must be on the 'miss list' for us... and my husband has a thing for Maltesers (and those ghastly creme eggs). <br /><br />An interesting post as always xxxxx <br />Thank you <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
