Rupert_Baehr Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I miss Ormers. They are only available in the Channel Islands, (and you may only collect them at low Spring tides in months which have an 'r' in the name.) (So when I go to stay with my brother in May, June July or August, I'm SOL.) I can't buy decent (Licolnshire or Cumbrian) pork sausages in the US or in Germany, but I have good recipes - so I make my own. I miss crackling! - I can buy very good pork, but it always comes with the skin removed. There is a surprising amount of English food available in the US and in Germany. - But often at a price! I saw HP sauce [in the square glass bottles] in a shop today - at about £2.50. Not extortionate, but probably a bit more than it costs in England. I can buy German Beer here (Florida) (Erdinger and Franziskaner Weissbier, which are made just up the road from where I live in Bayern) but instead of 50p a half litre, they cost £1.50.

Rupert_Baehr Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Meat through the post, i didn't think that would be allowed. Shouldn't be a problem. When I was a kid I used to work as a 'relief' postman at Christmas time. We used to get mailbags containing (unwrapped) well-hung pheasants which people had ordered. Sometimes (if they were particularly well-hung) we had to put the pieces in a shopping bag to deliver them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 You having a laugh. Nope. Dead serious!. - If the weather was bad and the post was delayed and it had been stored in a warm room, you could see the 'bodily fluids' from the rotting pheasants on the outside of the mail bags.

As a number of Europeans say: "You British are so lucky! You have such a wonderful range of bread... but why do you call your bread 'Sausages'?
