Marmite etc.
 

I can't buy Marmite in China (even in Tesco), but I've just found a jar at the back of the cupboard that I must have shipped over last year.:D

If you were in a foreign country, what 3(ish) must have items would you take with you?

My other 2 are Blanx toothpaste and Kleenex mansize tissues.

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Easy, as I work abroad....
Some good fresh coffee, normally Starbucks (from tesco), HP sauce, pair of Marks and Sparks Slippers, they remind me of home.

Re: Marmite etc.
 

I can get HP sauce (& Heinz Tomato Ketchup) in China.

I need to find somewhere to get proper fish and chips, although I don't expect that I'll get mushy peas.;)

Re: Marmite etc.
 

For me i`d say decent Tea Bags, any tin of Baxters soup and Warburtons bread.............:D

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Actually, I have to agree on the teabags. I've got a shelf full of Typhoo decaf teabags.

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Tea Bags,are a must, proper fish n chips, proper cakes.:)

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Guinness, Johnnie Walker Black Label, HP Sauce.

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Great taste WH, but for me I would go easy on the HP:D:rolleyes:

Re: Marmite etc.
 

If there is no coffee in it how can it be called coffee?

(or does it contain coffee?)

Re: Marmite etc.

English Bacon
Black pudding

Re: Marmite etc.

Re: Marmite etc.

Re: Marmite etc.

Re: Marmite etc.

Re: Marmite etc.
 

1) Tim Horton's coffee

2) Back bacon

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Guess most folks who have moved from the place they were brung up in miss various food-stuffs the most , my case decent pork sausages and bacon (US bacon sucks big time and Hot Dogs are NOT sausages) and that pork pie with hard boiled eggs in the middle .
Boxes of dried peas with the soaking tablet , regular split peas never seem to turn out the same .
It would also be nice if I could on occasion when I get a thirst to be able to get hold of the odd 'Irn Bru' or 'Dandelion and Burdock' , sod Pepsi and Coke
Also on the list Picalilli and proper Malt vinegar, wine vinegar is just a way of dumping lousy sour wine on folks with too much money :D :D

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Mine would be Stuffing(paxo) i could eat a bowl of it on its own!
Warbies bread and cinnamon swirls from tesco's bakery i'm addicted atm which isn't good for the waistline!

Re: Marmite etc.
 

oohh loz, ty loves the croissants from tesco!

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Glad to hear it for the past few weeks i have been cooking them!

Re: Marmite etc.
 

snaffle a few away for him lol.....back to school on tuesday and its on the way home! cost me a fortune!

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Wish i could lol!
Even though there is plenty that goes to waste at the end of the day they don't give freebies out to staff or anybody,tight sods!

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Some Magners Cider would go down quite well too.:)

Re: Marmite etc.
 

When i used to go on holiday to the cousins in ireland i used to have to take a holdall packed in my suitcase to bring back the bread for everyone, wheaten, soda farls, fruit soda and veda because you couldnt get it over here. Now the supermarkets sell one kind but its not the same as the bakery at the bottom of the main street in Armagh. In fact you cant get veda over here at all or wheaten - what they sell here is brown soda.

Anyway my 3 would probably be - lancashire cheese, cissy greens meat pies and sarsparilla sweets from stockleys.

Re: Marmite etc.
 

It's easy, say no to him.

Re: Marmite etc.
 

I can get most, Dried peas, HP, Corned Beef, Sarsparilla, Black pudding, Pork Pies, Scotch eggs, Grosvener Pies ( with the eggs in ), the Ham & the Bacon not as good but not bad, a Cheese maker down the road makes a geat Lancashire Cheese,

Re: Marmite etc.
 

Sounds great, Al. Lots of my favourites...and decent weather too (I assume). Makes me want to jump on the next flight!

Re: Marmite etc.
 

And the cleanest air in the world.

Re: Marmite etc.
 

...sounds perfect (as long as there's a few bottles of Boags to relax with!).
