[-]

idk_617@reddit (OP)

[-]

BigJim_21@reddit

8 dollars for a terrys chocolate orange is WILD

Percy pigs Irn Bru Prawn cocktail crisps Tunnocks - teacakes, caramel wafers and caramel logs Caramel digestives

That's what I remember really missing when I was in Aus, couldn't find them anywhere

[-]

mydearivy@reddit

You can get Irn Bru and Tunnocks caramel wafers in both Coles and Woolies, so I’d recommend avoiding those two.

[-]

Flat_Scene9920@reddit

I think this may have made my top 10 of sentences that leave you feeling loved...

[-]

Tylerama1@reddit

Definitely saw them in Woolies when I was last there, but this was 2016.

[-]

Fun_Cheesecake_7684@reddit

Won't they melt in the Australian heat?

[-]

MolassesInevitable53@reddit

They do have fridges in Australia, you know.

[-]

Fun_Cheesecake_7684@reddit

When I lived in South Africa, we couldn't even drive it home from the shops. Mum used to make us eat it in the store after the checkouts!

[-]

KaleidoscopeFrosty41@reddit

Heavy on the pickled onion monster munch crisps

[-]

Turbulent-Many-4312@reddit

Twiglets. (And pickled onion monster munch, but that goes without saying).

[-]

Dodo_uk@reddit

Hob nobs (chocolate!) and marks and Spencer Christmas pudding.

[-]

Bad_Combination@reddit

Tunnocks tea cakes or caramel wafers. NikNaks. Scampi fries. Ham and mustard or beef and mustard crisps.

[-]

New_Pop_8911@reddit

Beef and horseradish crisps are one of my favorite since branigans no longer exists. Think it's the Real brand that does them.

[-]

New_Pop_8911@reddit

Oo haven't spotted those. Their salt and vinegar are one of my favorite as well

[-]

Bad_Combination@reddit

Had them in a pub yesterday, was my first experience. Not as hot as Brannigans tbf but still good

[-]

When I worked in a pub I'd buy a box of the salt and vinegar ones from the crisps man who came once a fortnight, my daughter was diagnosed coeliac around the time they started selling them and they are gluten free. Not worked there a few years so stopped bulk buying them and lost track of flavours beyond what we could get then. We always had branigans ham and mustard

[-]

BreqsCousin@reddit

The thing is that we don't know what you have and what you don't have.

Do you have custard creams?

[-]

aeoldhy@reddit

More importantly do they have the chocolate covered custard creams they do in M&S that are possibly the most addictive substance ever made?

[-]

Krzykat350@reddit

Huh what now. Let me get my coat I need to see this.

[-]

idk_617@reddit (OP)

only a crappy aussie version 😅

[-]

BreqsCousin@reddit

The advice I'd give is not to send things that feel fancy but things that feel basic and bog standard and like your granny would have them in her house.

The difference in what is considered "a staple, so basic you don't even think about it" is what I find culturally most interesting.

magicpjj@reddit

Terry's chocolate orange, pickled onion monster munch, frazzles

[-]

Tylerama1@reddit

That's a fair shout.

[-]

me_version_2@reddit

They sell pickled onion monster munch in Oz. (In Coles and Woolies)

[-]

New_Pop_8911@reddit

I like the mint chocolate orange, can you get those there?

[-]

me_version_2@reddit

I’ve not seen the mint one.

[-]

magicpjj@reddit

Nice one, no idea what's sold in australia, just naming quality british snacks

[-]

UnpredictiveList@reddit

Chocolate oranges are in Oz by the way

[-]

magicpjj@reddit

Nice one, no idea what's sold in australia, but just naming quality british snacks!

[-]

fuckinyaldi@reddit

Polo mints, daim bar, sherbet fountain, wine gums, walkers toffee.

[-]

-Londoneer-@reddit

Prawn Cocktail crisps

[-]

iamthefirebird@reddit

Something blackcurrant flavoured, if that's not a thing where you are. I know they don't have blackcurrants in the US, at least; it's not the only reason I'm glad I'm not American, but it's on the list.

[-]

elbapo@reddit

Twiglets. Cadburys chocolate. Terry's chocolate orange. Lots of flavoured crisps. Pork scratchings.

[-]

LaraH39@reddit

They have Cadbury and it's better.

[-]

elbapo@reddit

Not if it's that filth made in new zealand it's not

[-]

LaraH39@reddit

The Cadbury made in NZ is delicious.

[-]

elbapo@reddit

Hmm it was pretty poor although that was ten years ago when i lived there. Far more corn syrupy than the uk version and far less cocoa. Not touching that when there's whittakers

[-]

idk_617@reddit (OP)

no wayyy i love uk dairy milk way better then aus one

[-]

Tylerama1@reddit

Aus Cadbury is a different fornulation for heat stability I understand ?

[-]

idk_617@reddit (OP)

yep! it does

[-]

LaraH39@reddit

Yeah? lol The quality of ours has gotten really poor in the last ten years. You might not like it any more. But that's a good reason to all for some! You can compare!

[-]

idk_617@reddit (OP)

yeah its been about 4 ish years since i had the uk one so maybe

[-]

neityght@reddit

Do you not have punctuation in Australia?

[-]

TeacupCollector2011@reddit

They seem to have gone missing around the world.

[-]

magicpjj@reddit

A legit old school papershop pick n mix

[-]

UnpredictiveList@reddit

They love drumstick sweets like the squashies, and galaxy.

Our dairy milk cadburys shit is better to, there’s has something to stop melting.

[-]

Lopsided_Soup_3533@reddit

I honestly think asking in an Aussie sub for any expats suggestions as people who moved to Australia will have a better idea about what Australia doesn't have that they miss

[-]

idk_617@reddit (OP)

i am going to do that as well

[-]

Adorable_Past9114@reddit

Kendal mint cake, marmite

[-]

qqaliqq@reddit

Beef hoola hoops and Worcester Sauce French Fries

[-]

MolassesInevitable53@reddit

Penguins. Similar to Tim Tams. So you can compare.

[-]

Tylerama1@reddit

Penguins are 90% of a Tim Tam in my opinion. Waitrose now sell Tim Tams in the UK.

[-]

Hankstudbuckle@reddit

I picked some up in Tesco the other day.

[-]

MolassesInevitable53@reddit

I definitely prefer Tim Tams to Penguins - I am a Brit who emigrated to NZ. I thought it might be interesting for OP's Aussie friend to compare them.

[-]

oxgillette@reddit

Trader Joes and Target have chocolate oranges very similar in taste to Terry’s near to Christmas - dark at TJ, dark and milk and white and popping candy at Target.

[-]

Tylerama1@reddit

Is there Trader Joe's in 🇦🇺

[-]

me_version_2@reddit

No

[-]

me_version_2@reddit

Smiths Square Crisps Skips Beef and mustard crisps Percy Pigs Caramac Walnut Whip Squashies Drumstick Flavour (that’s not chicken btw) Mini choc covered Swiss rolls from M&S (also mini jaffas in the same range) Giant Buttons Liquorice allsorts with the pink and blue jellies

For the record you can get: Terrys choc orange Pickled onion monster munch Caramel wafers Choc covered hobnobs All at Coles and Woolies - some are in the international section - most are not.

[-]

idk_617@reddit (OP)

I LOVE MINI EGGS

[-]

idk_617@reddit (OP)

[-]
