[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 26007, member: 176256"] Rolf Sorry but I beg to differ. There are just some things that money CAN'T buy when you're abroad. I base this all on my experiences in Southern France where you can't get: Smoked back bacon Hot mustard powder Marmite (yes, it's true) Cream that isn't a bloody lactic type Strong white flour Bread yeast with a decent "froth" English sausages Other items that are ridiculously overpriced (so it pays to bring them anyway): Baked beans Decent biscuits Marmelade But then again there are so many other things that are so much better out there that I dare not make a list. In truth it is, of course, a amatter of being reasonable about things. PaulR That didn't stop me taking 3.25Kg of smoked bacon with me when we went away for 3 weeks recently! My wife can't live without a a bacon butty occasionally and I really do enjoy a full brunch on a Sunday morning. [/QUOTE]
