Amphetemines, LSD, Bob Hope, etc. but then my home town is in Essex

Mmm Seabrook's! I didn't know they were still going. Does their "Spring Onion" flavour still taste exactly the same as "Beefy"?

[Cliphead]

Deep fried Mars Bars, mmmm

I think you mean these...

not those horrid chunks of fibrous card that passes for a delicacy, north of the border

Arn't most people going to think you mean north of the M25 on here? Maybe need to be more specific

Luton town's delicacy is the Hat. Yum.

Tucking into 3 of them now.

Sinamay? Pinok pok? Felt? or Sisal?

Dunno about home town so will home area do?

After coming west across the pennines I thought my life was going to be empty with no supply of SEABROOK CHRISPS!!! Yum!!!!

To my delight the local 24 hour Spa thing has started stocking them...

Happy days...

Seabrook's Cheese and Onion, I think they've been bought out - don't taste the same....

Holland's Steak Pudding! None exist South of Sheffield so I doubt most here have even seen one, looks like a meat filled Soyuz Space Capsule, only a bit smaller.

Checking the riffles as I scoff....

They are aligned neither clockwise nor anticlockwise, they radiate exactly from the epicentre of said pastie, to within 0.00001 of a midgey's jaffas.

Glad to see we haven't all gone over to metric just yet

I think Carr's pasties have anticlockwise riffles along the edge, whereas I prefer clockwise.

I think most of us have moved away from our hometown, .......

Er, yes and no. I'm from London and I'm in London. However, I live abroad as well.

Any others have cravings?

Apart from the clichéd ones like Digestive Biscuits, Marmite, etc. (Actually one of the local supermarket ships them in for the British expat community and I shove a stash in my baggage).

What I miss. What I really, really miss is .......


a decent curry. Can't get the locals to brew me a proper ruby.
