I guessed you would say something like that

I bet that hospital food leaves a lot to be desired

I wouldn't complain too much... Walkers Crisps are generally better than the ones we get here... and the sweets, and chocolate you get are better too
The Carribean Onion and Balsamic Vinegar flavour were a "Special Edition" that Lays released here during the Cricket World Cup in the West Indies... they were only supposed to be around during the CWC but proved so popular that they have continued making them

I don't know about that Mike, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Fave: Smokey Bacon ( suitable for vegetarians )
Least: Anything cheesy
Wish: I wish they would put the MSG back in crisps, crisps just dont taste anywhere near as good as they used too, pickled onion monster munch used to make your lips tingle! And when did they take the vinegar out of salt and vinegar?? Check the packet it'll say citric acid rather than acetic acid, thats salt and lemon juice!!
Worst: Cauliflower

I've never had Aussie Chocolate.. however, if it's anything like SA chocolate (They (Cadbury's, Nestle and Beacon) put additives in it to help stop it melting due to the heat) , it's really not bad BUT UK chocolate is definitely nicer... PLUS the range of sweets you get in the UK is far better than you get here... although, these days, you can buy most UK choccies and sweets here anyway... (My Daughters especially fond of Curly Wurlys)...

I didnt know that they had taken out MSG in UK crisps. I thought Pringles where full of MSG, mind you they arent proper crisps.

As you mentioned that bacon flavour are ok for veggies did you know that up intil a few years ago cheese and onion where not ok for veggies

They don't do that to our chocolate, our cadbury's in particuarly good (I wish I could type that gurgling sound that Homer Simpsons makes), I don't think there is much that they produce that I don't like. I've never been a fan of Nestle' except for the occasional aero bar, their dark club chocolate is sensational and their milo bars were good until recent years when they changed the recipe.
