Spanish omeletes are pretty simple to make, i make them quite often, and i bought my peanut butter from Tempo...it was a while ago though...as for Welsh Lamb i find the lamb here perfectly lovely, especially with my neighbours fresh mint...

Thai take away, fresh pasta and sauces from Sainsburys, caffeine free diet coke, affordable magazines, good selection of vegetarian food at the supermarket.



Oh and I wish that I could still feed my dog Nature Diet, which was the best dog food ever!

I love Crayfish, and it goes very well in a homemade Salmon and Crayfish quiche, Try it if you can.

Brin and Guido im sure will agree?



Used to have them in a stream at the bottom of my garden, but not the native type so never tried to catch them.



Was never bothered about the licence, just bothered about not being able to eat them.

You can buy Calve peanut butter in Ileli and it is really good much better than Sunpat. Oh and it's peeing down here in Essex. The novelty of cooler weather has very quickly worn off and I've only been here since Friday :(

Ever seen the underwater documentary of the migration of Cray's in NZ? It's fascinating, see if you can find it.

supermarkets that deliver to your door and good not too expensive Thai food!

A place that stocks decent toiletries, they always have shampoos but not matching conditioners and not good brands!

Also, as always when living abroad the Sunday papers like the Sunday Times with all the magazines & supplements! Read them online but it's not the same!

Natx

PS I have also seen peanut butter here and crisps similar to Walkers but also miss parsnips! Made roast chicken and roast potatoes yesterday but missed the roasted parsnips!

For you well educated Greeks: The largest concentration of Greeks outside Athens is in Melbourne, Australia, where Ned Kelly hailed from. But, how could I expect a Greek to know about History!
