The good old Lancashire fish and chips from my childhood and the beefsteak puddings from the fish-and-chip shop. Also Bassett’s Liquorice Allsorts – which we can get here but somehow just don’t taste the same. Could be that my taste bud memories are different from actual fact, as my nephew sent me some and they still didn’t taste like those when I was a kid. Nor did the fish and chips when we were over there a couple of years ago. Still were good but didn’t have ‘that’ taste from my memory.

When my youngest daughter (born here in Australia) lived in the Caribbean she sent a request for Tim Tam biscuits for her and some Vegemite (yuk!) for her husband as they were longing for these and couldn't get them. Now they live in Glasgow and both these items are available there, though she can’t get her favourite chocolate – Cadbury Peppermint Block.
