The most confusing thing is buying things you think you recognise from home only to discover they taste completely different stateside. I bought some mini-eggs, but because they're made by Hershey's in the US, the chocolate was all grainy and horrid :( such a disappointment.... The next coping strategy is going to be an indoor garden - I just have find somewhere that sells compost and pots!dozenoakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242765917806017643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891740475818949328.post-24136429851835602142012-03-05T14:53:24.460-05:002012-03-05T14:53:24.460-05:00I so identify with your pantry! When I first move...I so identify with your pantry! When I first moved here from England I think that other than friends, I missed the comfort foods the most. Back then, British foods here were even more scarce than they are now (there was no Amazon...heck, there was no internet!). It was years before I had salt and vinegar crisps, or custard cremes. I remember once having an entire case of Branston Pickle jars delivered because I simply refused to live without it, and I've been known to hoard a few jars of Marmite too. That said though, last time I was visiting England I was aghast to see Cheerios, and Pringles next to the Hula Hoops in Sainsburys! :PCurbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.com
