They always used to do that to me, too.
I liked mint Magnums (ice creams). They stopped making them.
Then they made mint "Drifters" (UK chocolate bars), and life was good. They stopped making them.
(Ok, ok, so I'm a mint-flavour whore).
It reminds me though, of an interesting thought I had the other day. Ignore for a moment, if you will, the British food's traditional stereotype (i.e. it's nasty). As Luxembourg is so multi-cultural, in the local supermarket there's a selection of "British foods"... and it IS all disgusting. Custard powder, Tizer (imagine somebody crammed all the glucose and sugar possible into soda), friggin' "smash" (freeze dried potato granules to make "mashed potato" from)... all the UK stuff that largely makes people want to vomit.
Aside from figuring out where the UK's "poor cooking" stereotype comes from (they stock it, so I presume that some of the British ex-pats do actually buy that crap), I was wondering: is the selection from the other countries the same. I mean, if they've selected only the horrible stuff from the UK, have they done the same from China, or from India, etc.
Oh, and if anybody likes red wine, I had a bottle of <a href="http://winebork.com/rev/KendallJackson00ZinShirazCollage">this </a>(googled review) the other day, and it rocked.
