Good morning all,

Wow! Many thanks for your responses - please keep them coming. This is very helpful and we will look at getting some of this stuff together for you. Please don't be put off by artisan food; it is gathering momentum here in the UK and is not necessarily expensive. Local food is the in thing here now; the problem is that the supermarkets give the producers a bad deal which is why we're trying to help them.

Anyway, Newcastle Brown Ale - interesting one. Surely a hand crafted ale sits better on the taste buds? You'd be surprised how many micro breweries are springing up here and a good many of them just can't produce enough of the stuff!

Thanks to all for your contributions. I'll now put the list together!

Not that I'm against artisan stuff. But I think that expats generally want comfort food that they know & remember, not to try new stuff all the time. Expats have new every day. Everything on the local market is new.

I'm not saying you have a bad idea. Just some thoughts on the expat market.

What is artisan food?

 

[Alzinho]

Another vote for the obvious ones: Tea, Marmite, HP Sauce, any cheese that actually tastes of cheese and not plastic and chocolate (though not 'so-called' English chocolate - Swiss or Belgian preferably). But the Holy Grail for me is BACON - what I wouldn't give for some nice bacon!

A couple of things mentioned on this thread are actually pretty easy to get hold of - I've bought Heinz ketchup (in Carrefour and Falabella) and Twix bars (in DISCO) fairly regularly here.

Has anyone seen Marmite in Argentina?

 

[argsteve]

Yes God please get Newcastle down here..... I will drink it all..hahaha
I dont want "artisan" food or even microbrews I havent heard of really... I agree with Mini.. the things you miss from wherever you are from.. are the staple foods or comfort foods... little things you grew up with your whole life.....
