Friend of mine went to Canada to visit his brother, but he went to Amsterdam first for a long weekend with his girlfriend. He flew to Toronto direct from Amsterdam. His brother had asked for several things, including a packet of Ready Brek. Because he flew in from Amsterdam, customs searched the Ready Brek, they actually opened the box and stuck their hands in the powder!! Needless to say he binned it. |

Will try Dee BTW what about some real tea for your cousins - have just posted a large pack of 'Yorkshire tea' to my aunt in NY - weighed one kilo, costs £4 to buy and £10 to mail from the UK - can you believe it - but from one desperate expat to another what's money? C |

Carole, try making your dumplings with butter instead... (I prefer unsalted). Just rub it into self raising flour (same ratio as the suet to the flour), until it looks like breadcrumbs, add a little cold water to make it a dough, roll into dumplings and pop them onto the top of your bubbling stew for 20 mins. Even better than using suet. Dee x PS Am going over to Canada in July - what can I take my expat cousins? Nothing too weighty...baggage allowance and all that x |

Karen When I lived in the States I craved Jaffa Cakes and proper crisps too so I had my parents ship some over! I also used to take gravy granules, HP sauce, all stuff we normally take for granted. But now I'm back in UK I miss stuff from the States. Just can't win can I :) joanne |
