Kiwikid, you are not mad at all! I'm like RedBedRock, I'm a foreigner too, hail from the bonnie land of Scotland. I went into the supermarket a couple of months ago and they are selling a drink called "Irn Bru" well I just about died and went to heaven!! I love the stuff but struggled to get it here! Mind you the distance might have something to do with it!
I couldn't believe it!! So bought a couple of bottles and enjoyed drinking them very much!!! Now I am just waiting for other stuff to arrive....
I love kumara, haven't tried feijoa yet but will have to investigate!

haha! A friend called over yesterday with a packet of McVities Chocolate Digestives mmmmmm 
And I just got another installment of Taytos and Tea bags from home also.
Must get some Jaffa cakes brought over with the next visitors!
ETA: Based on the fact that it'll probably be sooner (June) that I'll get a visitor from Ireland than when I'll have time to get into the shop

Heheheh thanks for bumping for me! I pulped the bag and stuck them in the freezer, dont think he is quite ready for them yet, but will try in a month or so. Interestingly I am not a huge fan of fejoas but I love the 42Below Fejoa vodka!!
I am an import too, but I have been here 17 years (apart from my 3 year OE back home!!) and there are still so many things I miss!! I am partial to HulaHoops though!!
We went to the Kiwi Kitchen for our leaving dinner when we left London, and I wasnt overly impressed with it to be honest. We also went to Peter Gordons restaurant in Marylebone (The Providores) and they had better kiwi food (a bit quirkier but nicer) like hokey pokey ice cream!
