I usta send Aero chocolates to a cool couple I met on here. They are in the US and lerv them some Aero bars. I could care less about Aero, it is okay,

I do like to keep chocolate here and eat some after dinner. Mostly Reese's peanutbutter cups or coconut chocolates from Italy.

Now that I am clued into what all goes into chocolate these days I am not as attracted as I used to be.

I used to love Eatmore chocolate bars.

I like Ohenry and Coffee Crisp, this little snack size ones.

I found the food tasted odd to me in Oz and then I finally found a chocolate bar I liked, I think Pay day or a version of that. I had the hardest time finding milk that tasted normalish to me.

Organic chocolate is tasty.

One thing I love an aussie export is AC/DC. I also love Smarties from Canada. When they were popular were the chocolate frogs from the Harry Potter products in England. I had a ebay friend sent me the frogs since I could not find them here (Lizard loved them too).

Wow I am one happy person. Just found that they have opened a store a couple of towns away selling all my favourite American food you can't normally get here. So tomorrow I am off to buy a couple of jars of Grape Jelly, a few bottles of Mountain Dew, a big box of Saltines and some Tootsie rolls. I am going to have a great Sunday

You can't get grape jelly in the UK? Or saltines? or Tootsie rolls? I can't imagine a life without tootsie rolls!

Jelly is something totally different there than it is here.....

Susie.. trust me... stick to the greenish Mt. Dew.....

Don't worry I will be sticking to the green one. I never understood why we can't get Mt Dew in the UK. I am sure it would be very popular.

LLady, no we can't get any ot those things over here, well until now when they opened up this store. I adore grape jelly and always used to pack a couple of jars to come back to the UK with.

There are many items not available to all places even in the US itself. I grew up in Pennsylvania. Since I left there I can't get items such as Gravy Master, Mint Ginger Ale, Strawberry Jelly (not jam or preserves), or the filling to make cold dough cookies. When I've been back I stock up on those items because they have to last until I go there the next time.

This is what the internet is for, you can have these things sent to you...... google is the friend of those who have cravings everywhere

I found a site that lists strawberry jelly

This seems odd to me, I just got exited about finding a British candy shop here

Mmmmmmmmmm....I had to learn how to make cinder toffee, since I couldn't find it in the U.S.
