Did you know that Guinness was first brewed in London? I jest not. So really its originally an English stout?
Bill Wyman missed Piccalilli when he lived in France. Which is actually an Indian delicacy brought home when the Empire was still in full swing. Even that Vindaloo song which England football fans sing is really an Indian dish from Goa which was a Portuguese colony. Not many people know that.
Any way thanks to one of my relations wife going to England I ended up with eight cans of Newcy Brown. They were delicious and please can she bring me some back every week?
Next question. Any ex pats who read this. Please tell me what you really miss from Blighty? If you still live there. What would you miss?
We have Iceland stores now in Ireland. So we stock up on Hollands and Pukka pies, Cheddar cheese and good old Vimto and Hovis.
I miss cricket too and watching a live football match and allotments of course! What do you miss or would you miss?
The missus has just come homecwith some bottles of Worthington White Shield this afternoon. So you can get some UK beer. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteI miss a good piccalilli too and I'm not even English. Tried making my own but it just wasn't the same.
ReplyDeleteI really do miss a good NZ meat pie. Can't make those either to taste a like real dinkum down under pie
Its funny what we miss LA. I often wonder why there are not many English pubs in other countries. I have seen them in Warsaw, The Algarve and there's Wetherspoons now in Cork. There's lots of Irish bars in most countries. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteThey're un beatabix!. You can get them in Ireland Gwil. We like the Bratwurst and Dunkel in Vienna. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was the only one in my circle of friends that liked Marmite. I loved it. Suddenly, I feel rather thirsty and hungry! All the names you mentioned are so so familiar.
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie. Marmite is like Brexit. You either love it or hate it. Wish we could get English beers over here. I have bought it in Portugal and Poland and use to buy it in Ireland. But not any more. Come on Newcastle Brown and send us some. Please!!! Thanks Valerie
ReplyDeleteGinger wine!
ReplyDeleteHi Vera. I have heard of it but never tasted it. Thanks!
DeleteWhen I returned from the UK last time I had with me some Yorkshire Tea and PG Tips.
ReplyDeleteHi Gwil. We use to go in a Irish shop in Manchester to buy things from here. Now go to Iceland to buy stuff from the UK. Its funny what you miss isn't it? Thanks.
