I have friends overseas and when ever they ask for a parcel from home one of the most important things to pack is Mrs Ball’s Chutney its amazing how one misses certain foods even when we are away from home for a little bit and don’t have those things.

I didn’t know what Rooibos was either, but I’ve been doing some research, and found out that it was the Afrikaans word for “red bush”.

I wanted to investigate because any tea that is named after the time that you’re supposed to drink it has to be cool!

Now, I’ve had Tetley’s new Red Bush tea, and very nice it is too, and it looks like you can get 11 O’clock tea from the Dragonfly Tea website.

Everyday I learn something new. Thanks veg box recipes!!

We never go away anywhere without taking Eleven O’Clock Rooibos teabags, because unless you are visiting South Africa, it will not be found!

When I went to the States with my partner’s family about 12 years ago his mum and nanna took a carrier bag full of tea bags, they just couldn’t cope without them!

A jar of Nescafe is always in my case when we go to Greece.

Marmite and custard powder were the two things I always stocked up on when home visiting from the US. And yes, I missed British chocolate, too, until I discovered… Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. They’re fab! I miss those now that I’m back in the UK, but you can find them over here in a few delis and international food stores if you’re lucky.

When we were little, we lived in Texas for a year. My mum really missed Dairy Milk and – also! – gravy powder.
My uncle in the UK was a superstar and sent her through a huge parcel with them in. Unfortunately he didn’t count on the Texan weather and, by the time it arrived, everything was a congealed mass.
Not quite so tasty…!
But it was definitely the thought that counted.

When we were in California for 3 months we took marmite and Yorkshire tea. I wish I’d taken oxo cubes as well. Then my dad came out just before Christmas with some small chocolate santas for my new American friends. I’m afraid they never got to try them as I pigged the lot. Boy did I miss British chocolate!!!
