Lemon vinegar taste like malt
nice tip , i will give it a try
Just because I can't have it I really want proper English bangers and mash covered with onion gravy and some hot horseradish sauce on the side.
My favourite English roast of leg of lamb with mint sauce and roasted potatoes with mash and brocolli is available here and very very tasty it is too. The lamb's not too expensive, but the shop where I bought my mint sauce has replaced it mint jelly which does 'cut the mustard' with me at all. Besides which, all my Bisto gravy has now gone.
BTW, all 4 jars of my Coleman's English Mustard have also been well and truly emptied
Is the lamb really goat Peter? Because I couldn't tell the difference, it was nice!Just because I can't have it I really want proper English bangers and mash covered with onion gravy and some hot horseradish sauce on the side.

It's genuine imported New Zealand lamb.Is the lamb really goat Peter? Because I couldn't tell the difference, it was nice!
We buy it S & R Shopping
Lots of imported stuff if wanted.
I bought my wife a case of Corona beer the other day. It's her favourite.
They had some Carlsberg too, but at the asking price I'm very happy to stick with my San Miguel Pils
Mostly we're buying fresh seafoods and vegetables at the local markets.
Found a lovely bakery just down the road at Toril G-Mall. The French baguettes are just about perfect. Lots of other tasty stuff too.
I have eaten goat though. Very tasty. These days we don't eat much meat, still enjoying the opportunity of such inexpensive but top quality seafoods
Does toast count?
Have you ever noticed when you return from the Phils how much basic food like toast gets appreciated more?
I've eaten toast a few times over there usually for breakfast on request but I remember buying some bread and making some toast when we had access to the hotel's cooking facilities in Boracay. It just doesn't taste quite the same though as the 'butter' I've always had tastes like ice-cream.
I manage to get some nice butter here, including, on occasion, Lurpak
It's probably difficult when you're on hols but we have a few great French bakery outlets and as for butter, Lurpak is easily available, even the Lurpak spreadable.
Found a number of places for great marmalade too.
There is very little food I like here in Phil.
I miss my English food and Indian curry.
French bread here in Gasano is the closest I've found to match UK bread, other breads I tried are just too sweet with sugar. Whole wheat bread is ok but I prefer white bread.
The closest to brown sauce and salad cream? In fact, the only ones I've found here are from Waitrose in Cagayan.
The brown sauce tastes like HP and the salad cream like Heinz. Maybe it's just the familiar taste - as I haven't had them for a long time now.
I miss mixed pickle, pickled silver skin onions, pickled beetroot, ooohhhh the list could go on.
Lyles Golden Syrup, Treacle ... I miss them lots
Is there no one in the UK that can pack up a large BB box for you??
I have a year's supply of the stuff you mentioned..
Last time I asked my eldest daughter if she could box up the tools and stuff I left in her garage plus add some items for me.
I got, "Ok, I'll ask the hubby." Next day she says he cleared out the garage along with my tools etc, which included all the packing tape etc. She didn't mention about doing a box for me anyway, so i said nothing and spent a few days feeling angry.
My other 2 daughters are also very busy, working having babies, etc, this past year.
Been busy myself with the building and emptying my pockets, but soon I'll get round to asking again. Maybe once the ground floor is rented, for income.
If you can't get any help, give me a shout and I will sort out your shopping list if you want.
We used to frequent an Indian restaurant in Makati, and very nice it was too....
I remember in Hong Kong when Harry Ramsdens opened a fish and chip shop,we used to be in there once a week. Then Brett's Seafood opened a chippy in Wanchai as well, and all of the supermarkets sold food that was British.I know we are supposed to immerse ourselves in a culture,and that's cool. In Thailand I eat Thai food, in India I ate Indian food, but in Pinas it's a bit difficult
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Oh Lord, guess what we've forgotten.
I got Whiterose version of the same, tastes very much like the real Weetabix.Oh Lord, guess what we've forgotten.
Mercury gets my Kellogs Cornflakes and Rice Krispies.
But I forgot Branston Pickle and Yorkshire Relish
OH NO , the whitrose weetabix had a nest of small brown beatles living inside the bix, full packet contaminated, i thought the second sealed pack would be ok so split it open ,, low and behold the rest of the colony was in there,I got Whiterose version of the same, tastes very much like the real Weetabix.

iv eaten from them twice, first time i saw a beatle on my dish, but i thought its not unusual to be fighting for first place before the ants do ect, so i shifted it off my dish continued to eat, the second time i didnt notice any proberbly cause i used hot milk which would have killed then inside the bix biscuit, only to find on my 3rd attempt that it was a living box of bugs
Do any of you guys actually like Humba?

Stewart, golden syrup and many of the other things you mention you will find in Marks & Spencer. We found loads of things in the Cebu M&S, there must be one in Manila!

Looks like a trip to Davao on the cards soon!
Apart from a pub, I find it difficult to even find a British Restaurant. We had one briefly in Newcastle's Grey Street years ago but it wasn't there for long.
As for Lechon/Crispy Pata, when I was a kid, roast pork came on Sunday - maybe once a month - and the crackling was something I really really craved for. Then I ended up in Cebu and it seemed to be everywhere!! Was hard to resist!
That being said, the wife is smitten with British food since we moved back here - especially the Carvery - although we do rustle up some Pinoy treats when we can find the ingredients.
