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.

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.

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