from the other thread:

-british cheeses
-stouts
-whisky
-gin

Lemonade. The proper, sparkling carbonated variety, not the flat American beverage of the same name.

Also, Rowntree Fruit Pastilles.

- Good Sunday roast in the pub. I think I miss this more than anything.
- Also sandwich pickle
- Smoky bacon crisps
- Gravy
- Sticky toffee pudding
- Seconding the cider.
- *proper* granary bread - is this actually a British thing? Can't think of anywhere else you can get it, really.
