Things they do not sell in the Netherlands, and I wish they would:

[arwen_lune]

* Crepes
* Yoghurette (strawberry-yoghurt filled chocolates)
* Terry's Chocolate Oranges
* Scottish pancakes
* Muffins
* Crumpets
* Pikelets
* Chicken Tonight (or is it Knorr? I'm confused) "Stir it Up" sauce for making chicken really yummy. Comes in Jamaican Jerk, Lemon Pepper, Mexican Fajita & Texan Barbecue. WANT! Tried to find it when I was in London but Waitroses doesn't carry it. Hope Safeways still does...
* Landjägers (really taste dried sausage)
* Cadbury's Mint Crisp & Cadbury's Caramel

It's a shame I can take none of this stuff since I'll go on to sail next time I'm in the UK... can't carry stuff all the way to Portugal. Bummer.

Tescos have some stores in Continental Europe... you could see if there is one not too distant and they would probably order in?

Aren't Crepes a continental thing? Why wouldn't they be sold in Netherlands?? Or do you mean something else with the same name?

[arwen-lune.livejournal.com]

They are continental, French to be specific. And we don't get them here, 'cause we're not French. Same reason few British things are sold here... different country. And they don't sell Yoghurettes here, only in Germany. And you can't buy the nice body pillows here either 'cause nobody really knows what they are.

Life's not fair.

Weird. We have crepes aplenty in Poland, even though we're not French, either. But then, we don't have more than one flavour of Bounty, and it's really hard to get cinnamon chewing gum... Truly life's not fair.
