UK Food that Foreigners and Expats ask for.

[talksthetorque]

I was on a training course with one of my Portuguese colleagues who worked in the UK for a while. It was a two week course and I was going home for the weekend. He told me about his family's love for a British chocolate product that he could not find anywhere else. And so after a hasty visit to Amazon, I returned the following week with 12 Terry's chocolate oranges for him.

Let's hear your odd requests, for Ex Pat UK citizens and Foreign visitors who have cravings for our amazing cuisine.

Was in Santa Margherita Ligure (next door to Portofino) earlier in the year and the local Deli had stuff from all over the world - but the British section of the window had Shreddies, Lyon's Golden Syrup, and - just in case you saw an amazing car and nobody believed you - A tin of Bird's Custard Powder.

Food of the Devil. And you’ll stink out the whole Penisula!

Little known and total bs fact.
Aussies call British people POMMies because of their insatiable urge for:
Pickled
Onion
Monster
Munch

Victoria Plum jam: The Germans go for “Pflaumenmus” which is effectively baked plums so you can rarely get plum jam unless you make it yourself.

Boddingtons: I’ve been flamed for this on here before but it’s a close approximation to the bitter from the local pub and disappears pretty smartish when I have a party.

I also stock up on Hobnobs chocolate and plain, Digestives, chocolate and plain, crisps, particularly mince pies at Christmas.

I’m amazed about Haribo (HARRy something from BOnn) and Müller. These are German things! You’ll be craving these in GB from the end of next month!

Got that covered - Here's some goole mappery just off the M62. I can't imagine it'll be just call centre staff telling you
"Sorry, you're not having any more. You're all fat and your teeth are rotten"
