I'll go first. I am craving:
* Virgil's Cream Soda
* Chocomel
If someone can tell me where I can find or get these delivered to Sydney I will be forever indebted.
What do you have from home, or from your travels overseas, that you've been unable to get here?
https://www.amazon.com.au/Chocomel-Nutricia-Chocolate-Milk-1…
$38.95 for a litre? lol
https://www.thedutchpantry.com.au/product/chocomel-1l-preord…
$48.95 shipped for 6 bottles…
This is new, thanks!
I've put myself down for a preorder, this is what lockdown has brought me to.
$8.16/L is a bit steep but better than $38.95/L I guess 😆
Aldi had chocomel a few months ago as a special. Good stuff. I’m after Vla, myself, which is like a carton of Chocolate YoGo.
Also after Catalan aioli, cuajada satchets, and Old Jamaica Ginger Beer (not the new “Regular” recipe)
When I saw the title I instantly thought Dubbel Vla. I’m surprised I’m not the only one!
Paul’s Dairy in Brisbane used to make it in the ‘90s, but I haven’t seen it in Australia in over 20 years.
I didn’t find any at my local, sent my family out to theirs and no dice either :(
Kava
Mmm, odd rules that you can import when travelling, but not sell legally (at least when I last checked in NSW).
Yet you can buy Kava caps from vitamin places, maybe it passes through a therapeutic loophole…
Yeah, can buy locally (and bring with you) but not import. I ordered some kava mints off Amazon AU and got a scary letter from border security.
Oops yeah that's what I meant - buy when overseas, not import
Sadly there is nothing temporary about the lack of stock.
Kandos chocolates from Sri Lanka
Proper Marmite, not the Aussie version
Thought maybe a grocery might have it?
Marmite is there on and off but have never found Sri Lankan chocolates :-(
Peameal bacon…
I've tried making it, but it wasn't the same
Sounds delicious, brining is magic for meats
OP (and anyone else in Sydney) - you could try messaging Redfern Convenience store on instagram - they carry a large range of international goods, and the owner is super nice - he may be willing to help you purchase whatever you're looking for.
Cheers I might try this, they have the Virgil's Root Beer out of stock, maybe ordering cream soda is an option. Thank you :)
BOSS coffee from japan Australian edition are crap plus any Suntory drinks as well
Asian supermarkets stock the Japanese versions.
Pre-lockdown, I usually bought all my BOSS drinks from Joy Mart in Chatswood.
F&N ice cream soda - guess you can find this in select Asian shops but oml it's the best soft drink flavour ever.
A&W Root Beer Float.
We can buy A&W root beer here in WA from Farmer Jack's!
If you've never had it, make yourself a "Black Cow": A&W w/a good coffee ice cream—- OMG!
I can't seem to find plain, coffee ice cream in any shop, either (speaking Cole's etc, not a shopping forum).
I was going to say does anyone make a good plain coffee ice cream? Woolworths brand might be plain coffee but it’s not very strong from memory.
Coolwhip!!!!
Vigo Mexican Rice
Koolaide
Sloppy Joe
Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta Dip Packets (AMAZING chip dip!).
Tootsie Pops
US over-the-counter:
Tums (helps acid stomach + adds calcium & rec'd for pregnant women)
Bacitracin (antibiotic salve for wounds)
Benedryl (allergies)
Cheap peroxide & rubbing alcohol (doesn't even need to BE imported)?
😢😢😢
You can get Tums here
In WA, AU, in-stock, not a scalper?
Huh, that's weird. Can't seem to find it on Woolies, Coles, priceline etc websites. Did they stop selling it? I only used up the last of my Tums tablets a couple of months ago
Mello Yello
Anglia Shandy
Royce chocolate. If you know where to find it here it’s probably best not to tell me.
Royce was in one of the SA Westfields for a good number of years.
We had a store in Sydney (Chatswood) a few years ago but they constantly sold out of everything except Matcha. Great chocolate if the store actually had anything in stock.
Cheez-it crackers
The East Indian Company - The Staunton Earl Grey.
One of the best Earl Grey's I've had - drank it at Sketch in London :)
Would be thankful if anyone knows where i can buy this. Thanks :):)
Cheese in a can
Pickled green tomato quarters. They used to be available from a couple of places in the ACT, but haven't seen them for about ten years. They came in a jar of about 1kg.
TUMS are sold in the gum/mints section of servos in the US, ffs. They are calcium= good for bones, upset stomach/heartburn. And CHEAP.
Who has seen these in their shops?
Antacid gang rise up! Rennies are chewable calcium tabs you can buy in Oz quite similar to Tums, not 100% calcium but pretty close
Rennies:
Each tablet contains: Calcium carbonate 680mg, Magnesium carbonate hydrate 80mg
Tums 500 Regular:
Calcium Carbonate USP 500 mg
Title should be: Where can I buy these foods from?
