Spin off from the current MLS thread
You're bringing food or drink from another country (either as a raffle prize or just to share). Stuff that might be difficult or expensive to get in the UK. What's on your list? |

I get requests for Jolly Ranchers and Oreos when I visit the US |

"Stuff that might be difficult or expensive to get in the UK.
I'm not seeing examples of 'expensive' for example
Caviar from Russia or Iran
Truffles from Italy
Luwak coffee from Indonesia"
It's relative.
I can get a packet of TimTams quite easily in Manchester. They're about £4 a pack.
Considering they're about $A4 a pack in Australia, that's expensive/ above the odds. |

Or the other way... I once went into a British expat shop in the CBD of Sydney, for shits and giggles.
It's not food, but I remember a bottle of washing up liquid being sold for $10. With a 99p sticker on it.
$10 won't get you much in Sydney at all, but I'm still not paying that for a bottle of Fairy (it might not have been Fairy). |

Hmmm... thinking here...
I suppose it would have to be a tacos al pastor cart. Flown over from Mexico, taco making person included! 
Though decent facsimiles can be found in London/Manchester now... |

I heard that the only place where fags are more expensive than here is in Australia. Is that correct ?? |
