Marmite etc.
I can't buy Marmite in China (even in Tesco), but I've just found a jar at the back of the cupboard that I must have shipped over last year.
If you were in a foreign country, what 3(ish) must have items would you take with you?
My other 2 are Blanx toothpaste and Kleenex mansize tissues.

Re: Marmite etc.
Easy, as I work abroad....
Some good fresh coffee, normally Starbucks (from tesco), HP sauce, pair of Marks and Sparks Slippers, they remind me of home.

Re: Marmite etc.
I can get HP sauce (& Heinz Tomato Ketchup) in China.
I need to find somewhere to get proper fish and chips, although I don't expect that I'll get mushy peas.

Re: Marmite etc.
Actually, I have to agree on the teabags. I've got a shelf full of Typhoo decaf teabags.

If there is no coffee in it how can it be called coffee?
(or does it contain coffee?)

You try getting hold of Johnnie Walker in Peru, mate. It costs a King's ransom!
