I haven't lived o/seas but after being in Italy for only a couple of weeks last year, I seriously cannot eat pizza here anymore :( Aussie pizzas really just turn me off now :barf:

They are arent they, so feral in comparison....

I have tried so hard to make my own in resemblance to what we had in Italy, but even the imported ingredients here taste so different :(

[MummaFug]

Salt and Vinegar chips (I could go on about chips)
Cabanosi and cheese (YUM)
Oysters Kilpatrick
REAL chocolate
The great assortment of pickles and sauces
Hot chips
KEBABS
Big M
Chocolate Bavarian

Actually, This was a REALLY cruel thread to start :no: I am pregnant and now all I can think about is YUMMY Australian food :crying: :hissy: :crying:

[candiee]

Iv'e only been living o/s for a month and i miss Bread that tastes like bread and not sweet.
real coffee from a coffee shop.
kabana
pork/ham/bacon etc, have to go to the other side of the city just to buy pork products..

am not missing the cold weather back in Canberra though!

[HART]

When I was living in Canada and America I missed....

****chocolate coated licorice bullets

[candiee]

just thought of another thing i miss, corned silverside, haven't been able to find it anywhere.

[NevasMum]

Ha! I just read all the posts and was like 'oh yeah, I miss all those things too!' Milo's a good one.
I'm in Germany, and staying here for quite a while so I am trying to find alternatives. But isn't it astounding how in the small global world of 2010 you can't get these things. Why aren't there Tim Tams in Germany, or at least a similar product with a different name? They're the best chocolate bickies in the world!
We can get Weet Bix at the supermarket but that's because we're close to the UK and they're quite expensive. Oh and one more

Sultana bran
oh and raisin toast
I also miss the Playgroup association! :yes:

[trishalishous]

I always missed kraft macaroni cheese, and lamb chops.
then they invented easy mac, so I can take a heap of mini serves with me!

[TheCatsMeow]

I am currently missing Melbourne Coffee!

Nothing is comparable to Melbourne coffee unless of course, you are in Italy.

I am moving to the UK at the end of the year, and no offence to my British Hubbers, but the coffee tastes like swill over there :no: I have no idea what I'm going to do when I get over there!

[candiee]

i have found tim tams, milo, weetbix, vegimite here in the UAE but its hard to find white chocolate..
you can even buy australian honey here.

i also miss good coffee and miss getting good take out Chinese and simple herbs i use for cooking, also thickened cream is hard to get.

[Tracey85]

I don't even know where to start. Well there is no take away food here (could really go for a hj's vegeburger lol), fresh fruit and veges, gosh and everything is just sooo expensive so even though there are a few varities of chips/crisps here, they are $9 a bag!! Hard to justify, especially when I'd scoff them straight away.

Fresh milk, ohhh that'd be heaven. $18 for a 2l bottle here!!

[TH14]

Soy sauce, Indian spices, good tea, nice seafood and fresh mangos in France. On the plus side, the cheese, champagne, cider, saucisson, pain au chocolats and cakes make up for it. :D
