As someone living in the backwaters of the Netherlands, I can at least get reasonable curry, however buying spices is a struggle.

I do miss supermarkets not selling real tea, by that I mean no PG tips, or Tetley, or anything else decent.

There's little good meat available, still searching for a decent butcher.

There is no bacon available anywhere in the Netherlands. I've also been told that this is also true of Denmark.

I really miss a good bacon butty washed down with a mug of tea.

I also miss a good roast, though I suspect I could rustle up something reasonable with some effort.

WTF? No bacon in Denmark? Is that because they send it all over here?

I'll just bring back half a pigs worth of bacon on my next trip home.

That's a good suggestion, I might have to go get some potted shrimps tomorrow! Haven't had them for years, and they are well yummy. smile

It has got to be some good quality butcher's pork sausage (nothing but pork and some seasoning), creamy mash (nothing but potatoes, milk, and butter), served on a plate and doused with a good slosh of Lea & Perrins. Followed by either sticky toffee pudding or jam roly-poly.

Tea to finish.
