What do you miss most about the UK?

Oh, and fresh bread at the supermarket, especially Sainsbury's.

Just thought of this as I was pouring a glass - SQUASH!!! Correct me if I'm wrong (please!) but I have never seen squash in the USA, and that's all I drink all day....

I am planning on bringing a big bottle of Robinson's in my suitcase each time I visit up until I get my visa, so I have some stockpiled ready for my arrival!

Black Pudding, Red Leicester cheese, Dandilion & Burdock.

Did you see the news story last week about the British family who emigrated to Australia and came back after two months because they couldn't buy Robinsons squash?! I was in stitches!

I drink a lot of squash too and I've never seen any apart from Ribena in the small Brit foods section some stores have :-(

Look out for cordials, though, instead. Basically the same, you just have to dilute them more.

What do you Squash?

[katieflossom 54]

Ok I have several business ideas here then! (And Ribena isn't the same, but I'd settle for it!) This is actually the thing I'll miss the most I reckon!

I'm stocking up on HP sauce, Cadbury's Dairy Milk, crumpets, Ambrosia rice pudding, Ambrosia custard, jam roly poly from M&S, all the essential things,lol i wont miss the weather and the price of petrol.

This was my suitcase the last time i went over to the US 8 weeks ago,lol

This made my laugh! My suitcase had a number of packets of Warbuton's crumpets last time. In fact, the last time I had an American 'British' crumoet, I posted the photo on FB to show my UK friends. Two took pity on me and sent me more Warbuotn crumpets.

I really want to take Levi Root's Reggae Reggae sauce with me this week. As it's a 'table sauce', I think it's allowed. Can anyone confirm that? that is, has someone taken in soemthing similar like HP Sauce?

Oh. And last time, I also took with me some Eccles Cakes. We'd watched a railway program with Michael Portilo and he went to Eccles and my fiance was dying to try an Eccles Cakes after seeing them being made.

For Christmas, I asked my fiance if he would like me to make a Christmas cake. He said 'oh yes please!' i did and presented it to him and he said 'What is this?' 'A Christmas cake', I said proudly. 'No it's not', he replied.

What i miss whilst I'm here in the UK for the moment (hopefully leaving with my K1 visa on Thursday) is the chocolate mint sweets. They're a bit like large, circular After Eights only firm fondant rather than soft fondant. York? I could just do with one of those at the moment.

I've answered my own question of Reggae Reggae souce - I think it comes under condiments on this list:

I never lived in the UK but I do have friends there. I used to hear reports on the GCE exams O and A levels from friends.

I carried a large jar of Branston Pickle all the way to Washington where I met my fiance for a brief holiday . She flew in from San Fran and I from London.

Having made sure it got all the way there I was somewhat disappointed to find out that she'd packed it in her carry on for the flight back to SFO and then had it confiscated where I'm sure it went down a treat with other foods that had been confiscated because of "security issues".
