As for sausages we were recommended to try the english pork at Woodvale Boulevard butchers and they are lovely. Only sausages I've had that I liked.

The best I`ve had so far is Woolworths Select short cut bacon and even that isn`t a patch we used to get in UK. I don`t know what they do differently over here but it just isn`t smokey enough for me and the texture seems slightly different.

You know what they say lesley,one man's meat is another man's poison.
Take brussel sprouts,I can't stand them,but my GF absolutely adores them so it's down to individual preference.

OK here goes and I hope you're ready for this!

Bacon, proper bacon. Tesco Finest Sausages. Paxo Stuffing. Yorshire Pudding Mix. Angel Delight - Butterscotch flavour. Tesco Gravy Granuals. Pery Pigs & pals. Boil in the bag rice (they seem to have stopped selling this now microwave rice has taken over). Ginger Nuts. Vimto squash. Wotsits, Quavers and Frazzles.

I have to agree with Tampax Compac. Sorry but these are essentials and the Lee Stafford Poker Straight range.

There's nothing that we really miss now, and I'm a bit tight and certainly wouldn't pay over the odds to get it.

Can't tell you yet what I am going to miss from the UK as we are moving to Oz in a couple of months - but I can tell you what I am looking forward to getting in Oz that I can't find very easily in the UK: Chicken salt and Tasmanian leatherwood honey!
