Britwife...I liked it, I tried a chili con carne and rice frozen meal that really hit the spot and a 25p bag of tortilla chips along w/it!

whoever wrote  about the WKD blue...I love that stuff!

That would be me. Have you tried Red Square Purple? It's my favourite, but hard to find in the UK. Tennessee has a law that makes it illegal to mail alcohol, so not WKD for me until I'm back in the UK.

Late August/Early September, if everything goes as planned. But I'm going to be a missionary intern, so I have to be on my "best behaviour"....which means no pubs/clubs once I sign my commitment form.   :P

Genuine TexMex food. I've found a restaurant or two that advertised themselves as "TexMex" eateries, but alas they hadn't a clue.

I know this isn't food, but in PA you can get teaberry gum. I looove that stuff and always buy loads of packs for when I go back to the UK. I ran out before Christmas, I guess I'll ask my mom to send some more!

Was thinking about stove top stuffing at Christmas.... I also buy that in bulk when I'm in the USA. I haven't been able to get back to see my family for about two years now.  I'm sure I'll think of more stuff soon.  ;)

Actually one thing I do wish I had more access to is pierogies...they're so easy to get homemade ones in Northeastern PA - especially if your best friend's mom makes them!

Ooh, I miss pierogies so much. I love the restaurant Kiev in NY for pierogies after a long night out.

You can make the, a bit time consuming but if you have a willing friend/partner, a nice rainy weekend day cooking project.

I had completely forgotten about those lovely little pockets of yumminess! I used to live in North Central PA -pierogies, subs from the store down the road and Pudgies pizza yum! I think this board is doing nothing for my diet!  [smiley=joker.gif]
