So it seems as though in 50 odd years us Brits might be having to wrap our newspaper around chips alone...... :-1

I know that fish and chips is quintessentially British. Where I come from they produce the best cider but what food and drink would you miss if you had to live away from your home town/country? I know I'd really miss Marmite.

"far foreign" bread tends to be sweet. In some places, you just can't get

*anything* that's like it is at home, so you end up missing lots of things -

however, there're some things abroad that I miss "at home". Perhaps "what do

you miss that you can't get 'at home' would be interesting!

Marmite and bread again, proper bread that my mum used to make or fresh from the bakers.

I'd also miss dandelion and burdock.
