Yes, soft fluffy towels are something I miss as well. We only get them if we stay at a hotel since everyone else air dries them.

I have missed salsa as well, and I haven’t been able to make any because I like it to be quite spicy, and European taste buds are wimpy when it comes to heat. lol

The bread is good, but it’s hard to beat a bagel with schmear!

No peppermint anything at Starbucks. 🙁 I was so hopeful, too.

Also, soft towels, because we used to air dry our towels! I remember my aunt coming for a visit and bringing those two things – it was heaven. I don’t know if I’d miss peanut butter so much now.

I am surprised about the bagel thing though – the bread is SO delicious in Europe (I can’t speak for SE Asia asI haven’t been) – I would not think about bagels at all….. 🙂 That’s just me.

When I was in Ireland, I missed chips and salsa the most. Sigh. I think I’d rather be missing stuff now!!! That would mean I was traveling. 🙂

Take care

I think you will still be able to get peppermint mochas at Starbucks if you can find one 🙂

LOL! We’ll be near there in April. 😉

Now that’s taking Red Vines seriously! I was so excited today because in Olomouc, Czech, I found a store that had something VERY close to York Peppermint Patties. FINALLY my peppermint and chocolate combo!

I’m Canadian and that particular brand of licorice isn’t the easiest to find up here sometimes(at least in my area) – particularly about a decade ago. So, when my parents took as kids to Disneyland my dad stalked up on it big time! Every spare bit of room in our suitcases were filled to the brim with red vines lol.

Every time I’ve been in the UK I have never been able to find a nice ice cold bottle of water – every drink that back home would have been cold was room temperature in Britain, haha. However, European orange Fanta tastes different and way better than the stuff we get over here so I find myself sincerely missing it when I’m back home 😉

I try to embrace the differences wherever I go but sometimes – especially if I get a little homesick – I just really really miss Kraft Dinner & Tim Hortons 😉

I don’t get the lack of streaky bacon or chocolate chips either. Totally baffles me.
