You know you are. The McVitie’s are about half gone, and we’ve eaten 1/4 of the Bounty. And of course, several cups of tea.

DROOL!

Wow, now you can have toast with beans on top! Sweet. Hang on, where’s the Marmite?

I already had some of that! I picked up a few habits from my British ex-husband!

…and in honor of your “bad brit habits” I’m going to make some toast and marmite right now!

Now, about the Bounty AND Crunchie, I think I may have to kidnap them, ’cause the only sweets in NY (conveniently close to find) that are coming from across the pond are Aero, Cadbury’s Flake and Smarties. And they are quite pricey and not my faves.

Well at the cost of breaking laws (2-10 for kidnapping of chocolate?), maybe I should do something more constructive, like go Yelp about the place that sells ’em. Hmmmm…

Did you order all this, or was it a gift? Are those McVities chocolate-covered or plain?

Oh boy, indeed!

Chocolate digestives! (I wouldn’t have waited to take the pic before opening them, either!!) Crunchie!! Maltesers!!!

Bounty. Not so swoon. But I’ll let you by on that one.

In no particular order, what I really yearn for are

1) Sausage Rolls
2) Scotch Eggs
3) Proper fish and chips (no, not ‘Genuine English Style” fish and chips) 🙂
4) Colemans French Mustard (esp. applied liberally to the Sausage Rolls)
5) Chinese takeaway food from ‘Lucks’ – just up the road from where I used to live

And of course Marmite would be on the list, but fortunately Schnookums sells it!

Aw Schnookums!! Hee hee.

No WAY I could wait on the McVities. YUM!!! BICKIES!

You can probably get Coleman’s if you look around, Simon.

Here’s a tip. Click on that picture above, and you will be brought to the source of the love!

I’m glad you waited until after we left to get all this. Of course, you probably knew not to have it around when I was there – not if you wanted any of it.

Wow!! They have Sandwich Spread. And Dettol! Life is looking so much rosier all of a sudden…

Alas, I’m not sure if they still make French mustard – surely they do, but friends have had trouble finding any to bring me on recent visits.

Whenever I see the Heinz beans I think of 1) When the Beatles went to India; Ringo had a suitcase full of them. and 2) That Who album cover.
