There seems to be no decent food at all....I tried online and today I wnet to the health food store in Solihull which normally sells everything (and I do mean everything) but even that didn't have anything I could send to you...how about I book a holiday to Trinidad and Tobago and then come home with the goods?<br />Thank you for your lovely comment about my last post - see you didn't know I was romantic at heart did you?Carol E Wyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375439814725846546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-20631056213833933812011-01-18T11:18:59.030-04:002011-01-18T11:18:59.030-04:00See that's what happens when you go to Tesco! ...See that's what happens when you go to Tesco! No decent food - you poor girl! I loved your take on the rotten local accent too....very funny. I of course speak the Queen's English...definitely no dropped 'h's here...I hate it when people pronounce it 'Haitch' instead of 'aitch' too. <br />I don't know if you'd find what you want in Waitrose or Asda but I'm going to go online and look for you - 'can't 'av me ol' girlfren' starvin' can I?'<br />CarolCarol E Wyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375439814725846546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-84975361840482817932011-01-17T19:17:43.246-04:002011-01-17T19:17:43.246-04:00Wow, you sure go through a lot just to buy some gr...Wow, you sure go through a lot just to buy some groceries lol. But I'm sure that comes with the territory of living so far from home and from the things you're used to. I'm thinking Jamaica has a larger export system? That would be my guess. That's great you were able to get that care package, though. And I'm glad you liked the American cheddar cheese. :PMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00497898077923298281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-69604095449185042142011-01-16T10:08:48.885-04:002011-01-16T10:08:48.885-04:00Will txt youWill txt youShalanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-60157634406092636792011-01-16T08:30:09.068-04:002011-01-16T08:30:09.068-04:00OMG.

Crix without cheese is like peanut butter without jelly. <br /><br />PT - I will try the MJ but I have not seen that here, or maybe I was not looking. It's all very British in the grocery so a lot of American products we just don't get. The Kraft was in the ethnic section eh. that should tell you something. Kraft - ethnic? lol<br /><br />KP - The care package was awesome. She also sent me C'mas cake, and some other necessities. Mums are great.trininistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06868403308065934696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-41850533798550650242011-01-15T22:00:49.242-04:002011-01-15T22:00:49.242-04:00girl i feel your pain...I went 2 yrs up here befor...girl i feel your pain...I went 2 yrs up here before I find the tropical supermarket...and it has Crix, mabel green seasoning and mauby syrup, and even peardrax if I feel for a little bubbly :) send me your address I could send you some Crix ;)trinidancerforchristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278655343492927046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431249332444775188.post-77040256154107322822011-01-15T21:21:13.020-04:002011-01-15T21:21:13.020-04:00We started using monterey jack (or pepperjack) che...We started using monterey jack (or pepperjack) cheese when we make macaroni pie here.
