Ex-pats miss the funniest things
I miss Chargrilled Steak McCoy's, or generally any meat-flavoured crisps. They just don't have them out here in the US. Every time I come back and visit I'm ravenous for it. Next time I fly out of the UK, I'm taking a suitcase of crisps home.

Worst thing? Continental candy from my stepdad called Lakrisal. Salted licorice with bonus chili pepper! To my mouth, it felt like what I'd imagine spicy bleach would taste like.

Second place, because it actually was a kitchen disaster, was when my sister used some edam to make a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Without taking the wax off of the cheese.

Your stepdad is called Lakrisal?

My local 7-11 has a back wall filled with british food.
I have literally spent over $100 stocking up on fray bentos, monster munch, sausage rolls, bacon etc.
