first things I'll eat when I get back!

  oh ... I'm just dying for southern fried catfish ... real Ritz crackers and an ice cold Mello Yello ... everyone knows these are my favotites back in Florida and whenever I call home they tease ... :\\\'( :\\\'( they are so cruel ...

Don't they sell Ritz crackers here? I don't buy them, but I thought I'd seen them on the shelf.

Yup, we buy Ritz crackers all the time.

Funny how everyone is missing American fast food!  We were in London on the weekend and the first place we went to was Ed's diner for hamburgers and shakes.  We didn't eat a lot of fast food while living in N.A. but here, that seems to be a source of comfort food!  go figure..

Shugga, you did know there were Outback Steakhouses over here didn't you? Whenever I get a craving for a bloomin' onion we head over to the Outback! There's not very many but this link should show you where: http://www.outback.com/ourlocations/int_unitedkingdom.asp

Fazzoli's breaksticks and a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard from Dairy Queen!!  I can't wait. I go back next month and my mouth is already watering!

  I know ...  I've tried them from Asda and Morrisons ,  there only seems to be just enough in those tiny boxes to make me sad ... you haven't seen any Mello Yellos floating around have ya ? ?

Okay I have not been on for awhile as I did loads of travelling my last week in the UK and am now on hour 61 back in the States...

I have to report that the "food relief" of coming home was not all I'd hoped for...thus far.  My diet has been changed so many times the past 10 days that my insides are really suffering (sorry for the "image")
But it really was nice to go out to a grocery store where I knew exactly where to find everything...
and to buy a few of my old fave comfort foods

really looking forward to some of those dinners out, though

It usually takes about 78 hours to feel better when you fly.  Give it time.

so, the ones we have here are 'real'... it's just the boxes are too small?

the ritz here aren't the same to me either.  they are smaller...not just the box, but the actual cracker.  and they aren't as...buttery, i guess.  they are close...but there is one something different that i can't put my finger on.

Sushi! 

I haven't even left yet, and I know what I will miss!  That' so silly

Good burgers and fries from a local cafe in Cola, SC
Coldstone/marble slab (I'll take either)
krispie kreme (I've yet to see them where I'm moving, but have heard rumors they are in the UK.  And I'll be eating one on the way to the airport).
good steak!  (that's the night before I leave's dinner)
Reese's peanut butter cups (my dad is bringing me some when he comes for the wedding )
cheez-its
dr. pepper and mountain dew (I know they have dr. pepper there, but it doesn't taste the same to me, I think I may just be too picky)
butter microwavable pop corn from Orville Redenbacher
s'more pop tarts
sour patch kids

I'm a junkfood a-holic.  I'm looking forward to eating better!

I had some delicious Krispy Kreme doughnuts a few days ago at London Victoria...
Reese's peanut butter cups ARE available here, too.

I'm with you on the rest, though!

omg... where do they sell peanut butter cups?  Last time I was there for any length of time, my dad ended up paying too much just to send me some.  They work like a charm as a pick-me-up. 

The Tescos has them! 

I know, because I'm an addict....

Asda has them too...
Also, im sure i've seen S'more PopTarts here...  we call them choco-mallow.
