You can keep the Vegemite! Marmite kids here. We can get that in Safeway,
but it costs well over $5.00 for the tiny jar! For ages now, I have made
regular 90+ mile round trip pilgrimages to the British Food Shop to buy the
gargantuan jars.

Biscuits are at the top of my Food-most-missed list. You can get Peek Frean's
shortcake in Safeway now, but oh for a real ginger biscuit! I was ecstatic
when a local shop recently started selling British foodstuffs. It's an
antique shop, but fortunately the biscuits aren't...........
