Products you CAN'T buy in the U.K.?

I thought nothing would replace my life long love of Pecan Sandies...then I discovered Jammie Dodgers.

Life will never be the same. My beloved often teases me that he's certain I miss them more than I miss him. 

Ryvita is available everywhere I've lived.. you don't have them in the States?  (I don't like them.  Evil cardboard crackers, they are!)

I don't like them either I found them to be very bland & dry crackers but thats just my 2p.   

I thought nothing would replace my life long love of Pecan Sandies.

Pecan Sandies!  Oh, man.

Pecan Sandies!  Oh, man.

I know!! I'd forgotten about those! I love them ... but always ate too many and got 'Pecan Sandy Tummy'. 

I'm pretty encouraged by the fact that I don't really have an attachment to many products. I can easily give up any kind of cookies, or packaged foods and I dont eat candy. I do remember, I have to admit that when I spent 6 months in Mexico I seriously craved Doritos Nacho Cheese Chips. They had them but they definitely didnt taste the same.
I guess you never know what kind of craving will pop up, but for the most part I couldn't care less what crackers I eat, or if things are different.

oh..I think my kids might have withdrawls if they don't sell Goldfish in the UK!

I've seen Goldfish.  Not sure if they taste exactly the same.

Pecan Sandies!  Oh, man.

Pecan Sandies are icky.

Pecan Sandies are icky.

Shut. Up.

Shut. Up.

Fine.  They are the most awesome thing that has ever been invented in the history of awsomeness.

Happy?

Fine.  They are the most awesome thing that has ever been invented in the history of awsomeness.

Happy?

That's better.

NO.  Because I can't have any anyway. I can only dream.

That's better.

I think you and Mindy need to confer before responding.

NO.  Because I can't have any anyway. I can only dream.

Make Ms. Camp Counselor bring some back with her.  Do not allow her back in the country if she does not have them.

I HATE it when that happens.  :\\\'(

I confess I have been a cookie fiend, so I just don't buy them.....UNLESS someone in the office has a daughter selling Girl Scout Cookies.....oh those Thin Mints.....just the sight of the order form makes me drool. This year, though, I was very proud of myself....there were Girl Scouts and their moms outside the local supermarket selling cookies...no ordering and waiting...just hand over the money and take your boxes! For a moment, I felt weak and ready to give in...but I held firm, smiled and said no thanks. It's taken me a few decades, but I finally got that cookie monkey off my back!

But the question remains....can I resist those JDs??? Stay tuned....

PS does anyone watch Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps? There are some funny bits about Jammie Dodgers in a few episodes. When I first started watching I though OMG this show is like Friends on Crack...but somehow the more I watched the more I liked it.

I love that show! Madness isn't it?

crackers are meant to be dry!   
I reckon the ryvita-haters are eating the 'wrong kind' of Ryvita... the ones with pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are really nice!
