Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

You know what I miss? Jaffa Cakes
YES! Loved those things. When I was with friends in Scotland, we bought some while on one of our little day trips, and we won a stuffed animal (whatever the thing was that came to steal the orangey goodness, I forget the name). Except we couldn't really win it becuase you had to have a UK mailing address! Mean!
And I can find Pims that are very similar, but are just not the same (and are like, $4 a box, so...).
Supposedly there's a British Store in northern Virginia, somewhere near where I used to live, but I never did find it...

All cats are British.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All cats are British.
Except the ones who are French.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I thought all cats were French.(well, at least according to Jon Carroll they are.) They understand English when it suits them to...

Are actual pie-flavoured chips now available in Oz?
This is a bit belated and I can’t believe I’m gonna de-lurk over something as inauspicious as Smiths and their strange taste-experiments, but yes, the pie-flavoured chips do exist (or they do in my obscure Canberra-esque corner at least). The ads have been strangely persistent about it - they don’t really explain why we needed pie-chips, but there you go, ;).

Leigh! G'day! Stay delurked! Smiths Crisps are as good a reason as any.
Actually there's one company--I think it may also be Smith's--which has been advertising ham and cheese (?) flavoured chips. In the advert a bloke walks into a milk bar and asks for "one ham and cheese", so the milk bar lady cuts a packet of chips in half a la a sandwich.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
What's a milk bar?
I think the next UnAmerican thread should be named something regarding foods from around the world.

Milk chocolate, I think Jess, but I'm not sure.
