Inspired by a thread about taking bacon to Turkey, here are 5 foods food I would miss, if I lived in a different country and it could not be bought there (in order of importance).

1) Marmite
2) Cathedral City Cheese
3) Branston Pickle
4) Bacon (for those bacon sandwiches that are used as hangover cure!)
5) Thick cut marmalade

(1) Anchor Butter
(2) Marks & Spencer White Stilton with Cranberries
(2) Coleman's English Mustard
(4) Green & Blacks Organic Chocolate (any flavour!)
(5) Jacksons of Piccadilly Green Tea with Lemon
(I have tried ALL the other and nothing else is so good). This one is a SERIOUS addiction - I would not cope without them

When in the US, I miss (from Turkey):

white cheese (by far the biggest thing I miss)
simple daily bread
simit
iskender
hamsi

when in Turkey, I miss (from the US)

real vanilla ice cream
angus beef steak
peanut butter (a thief in Bibek sells it for 20 YTL a jar)
milk
eggs

My list is short:
- white cheese

I eat it almost everyday.
Maybe its combinations can be listed:
- tomatoes, olive oil and white cheese (with or without tea)
- water melon and white cheese
- melon and white cheese
- simit and white cheese (&tea)


probably rakı and white cheese is a great taste but I don't drink rakı.

1) Twinings Tea Bags (I'm really fussy)

2) Cheese and pickle sandwiches

3) Double Decker Chocolate bars

4) Shortbread

5) Crunchy Nut Cornflakes

Now I'm hungry...I'm off for breakfast!

1 - white cheese
2- black tea from northeast Turkey in traditional glasses
3- Turkish Coffee
4- Ekmek kadayıfı with cream (a kind of sweet pastry)
5- pickle mixed with apple,hot pepper, cabbage, tomato ...but i would miss its juice most

Here is my list:
1. Graeters Icecream "Black Rasberry Chip"
2. McDonalds Decaf Coffee "3 creamers and 4 splendas
3. Delight Thai Cafe "Chicken Pad Thai Spicy #2"
4. Skyline Chili "3-Way with onions"
5. Husmans Potato Chips with Hidden Valley Ranch Dip

When I am in Turkey, I miss fresh brewed coffee, fresh milk, bacon with my eggs, ranch style dressing and mexican food. When I am back in the states I miss the produce and spices that I can get so easily in Turkey (and cheap too!).

When in Turkey I would miss:

1. Drop (salty)
2. Bacon (but not smoked!! leave that in Britain please!)
3. English strong tea with a little bit fresh daily milk
4. 'Old Amsterdam' cheese
5. A good freshly brewed coffee instead of all the American coffeebars or Nescafe.
6. HP (fruity or original)
7. Golden Syrup or Dutch sugarsyrup for pancakes and icecream.
8. Raisin-hazelnut-milkchocolate bars imported to holland from Germany for Aldi.


When in Holland I miss:

1. The Turkish breakfast with olives and cheese. FOr some reason Im back into my Dutch pattern of no breakfast at all.
2. Good quality of almonds and pistachio nuts.
3. Maraş icecream (but wihout mastika).
4. Good quality of lambchops.
5. All the spices and fresh fruits and vegetables.
6. Order-kebap They are at your door with good quality of Urfa, Adana, Patlıcanlı kebap, for prices never higher than 10 ytl Who would cook??

When I was in Turkey I realized how addicted I am to regular coffee with cream. I like Turkish coffee, but it's just not the same and I despise Nescafe...

When away from Turkey, and after being there for a while, nothing tastes good (except for coffee ).
