Mmmm, Terry's chocolate orange now you're talking! You can get them here now - although they get smaller every year!I forgot about Pork Pies, added those onto my list... And Cornish Pasties, and a PROPER Devonshire Cream Tea with real clotted cream... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And real beer. NZ does have some nice beer, but it is different to the British stuff. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 I'd be keen to know what an Englishman considers a decent beer, that is made in NZ. Beer is one thing you lads really do do well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 I'd be keen to know what an Englishman considers a decent beer, that is made in NZ. Beer is one thing you lads really do do well. Pale Ales aren't bad over here. Good George IPA is nice, but perhaps a little strong. Ben Middlemiss 'Hodgson' is decent. But the range of 'real' ale isn't here, yet, imo. There's a superb depth of knowledge that hasn't yet translated to excellent brews. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted June 12, 2015 I've found that Epic Armageddon IPA to be a very decent drop. It all depends on your taste in beer though.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted June 29, 2015 I can confirm that genuine UK Marmite is so far ahead of anything similar Sanitarium make that it's like a completely different product. As for Sanitarium claiming trademark infringement - I think there should be a case from the UK against Sanitarium for misrepresenting a delicious product with the rubbish produced in NZ. I may need to revise the plan to bring a couple of jars back with us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
