Food: If You Moved Abroad...

[Lellow]

....which foods/drinks would you miss the most?

Ive been in Morocco for the past 4 weeks and i am majorly craving Wotsits, Double Deckers, Dominos Pizza, Peanut Butter on toast, Crumpets, Baked Beans and Walkers Crisps...The crisps out there taste like cardboard

I raided the supermarkets, but they have none of the above over there for sale - I was starting to get faint toward the end of week 2

You...

 

[Strawberries]

Warburtons bread, lurpak and my mums mash

 

[Tegans Mama]

Everything.. I'm such a fussy eater, I went on holiday to Spain and only ate one meal a day which was breakfast, because there was loads of fresh fruit and bread

 

[Natsku]

I miss walkers prawn cocktail crisps (I make my mum bring over loads whenever she visits), blackjacks, pork scratchings, decent gluten free breadsticks and thorntons chocolates.

Damn, I think a holiday to England is in order!

 

[Twister]

I'm really fussy so I'd probably end up living off oven chips if I ever left england for good. Food I'd miss the most would be: cadbury's chocolate, warburtons bread, walkers crisps, pizza hut, Heinz tomato ketchup, and chips from a good old British fish and chips shop. That's all I can think of right now.

Poutine It`s kind of funny, I never eat it really, but EVERYTIME I go to the States for a weekend or few days, I want a poutine lol.

I miss poutine SO much But you just can't get cheese curds over here for love nor money! I actually looked into making my own because I was desperate I know some people suggest that the likes of mozzarella can be used instead, but it's not *quite* the same. And it doesn't squeak if you nick some as you're putting together the poutine

 

[bananaboat]

I couldn't live without fresh New England seafood!

 

[TennisGal]

When I lived abroad I missed cheese and onion walkers and slices of bacon. Oh, and proper strong tea...that's about it!

When I was living away from home I missed Nambarrie tea the most and made my sisters send loads of it over! And the chocolate isn't too great abroad either I still have to send my mate Wispas to where he lives in Barcelona and my sister Oxo cubes to America

Lol, the cafeteria at my high school used to make their poutines with this dark, thin (beef I assume) gravy and a lot of mozzarella cheese. OMG it was sooo good. If you can score "pizza mozzarella" it's generally stringier and better for poutines too.

Here cheese curds I guess you'd find at the farmer's market, sometimes at the grocery store... maybe if you get in touch with a local dairy farm they could steer you in the right direction?

I lived in Switzerland for a while & I missed... Proper bacon & proper sausages, vimto, cadbury creme eggs.

Now I'm back in the UK I miss Rivella ( a slightly fizzy pop type drink made from milk protein - sounds gross but is yummy!!!) and schoggigipfeli - bit like croissant but stuffed full of chocolate praline with chopped nuts on top - a pain au chocolat dowsn't come anywhere near close, neither do those choc twist pastries

 

[OmarsMum]

Milk & cereals

I don't drink milk when I'm traveling it tastes different even in cereals.

I googled Poutine - It looks...interesting

How long are you staying in Morocco hun? What are popular foods there?

I would miss a decent cuppa tea and not sure what else. I eat a range of foods x

 

[EllaAndLyla]

Me and OH are planning on moving to spain in a few years or so and I will miss everything. I will have to take like 2 suitcases of food with me and get my mum to send me over loads more once I have run out. I am such a fussy eater!!

When I went to Corfu with my mum, we got drunk and ended up making the receptionist at our hotel ring around for a chinese takeaway for us lol!! unfortunatley they didn't have any and I missed cocktail sausages so much xx

Ive already been and come back hun - I was there for the last month.

They have tons of Nestle stuff, yoghurts/juices are popular too....But over there its all about fresh fruit and veg rather than convenience foods which im ever so slightly addicted to

Unfortunately i am a fussy eater and so when im out there i always often miss meals for days on end if its not something i like, i always feel to rude asking for something else to be made just for me, so i prefer to just go out and buy some snacks.

Oh ye, totally forgot about tea, i did miss tea too

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

Hope you had fun x would love to stay somewhere and see how they live/eat but would miss home comforts

That's the same as me, oh's family really love their food and unfortunately I'm quite the opposite. They always ask me what I'd like for dinner but I always feel rude getting them to make me something else or change their dinner plans just for me (plus I never know what I want anyway) I know they don't mind but I do iykwim.
