Quaker oats available in Intermarche, custard as mentioned easy to make and sooooo much nicer, horse radish, grow your own, curry / fish and chips make your own, how you can miss M&S food or Kentucy chicken is beyond me, but each to their own.       The Fridgeman If all else fails............

There's a really good tea from Norma...granted you need 2 teabags for a decent mug, but there you go!! I can't find baked beans here. My son loves porridge! Wish we'd had the foresight to bring half a trailer-full!    Report

If you look like your passport picture, then you probably need the holiday.    Report

Hope this helps         The Fridgeman If all else fails............ READ the instructions !!!!!!!!!!    Report

Well, I can tell you now that in Gigny-sur-Back-Of-Beyond-Middle-Of-Nowhere-Suran the nearest main town is Lons le Saunier and their Casino hasn't even got those products, except for porridge! Quakers Oats. They do have salted butter, mind...but not quite as tasty as melted Anchor on a crumpet, or muffin at 4pm tea time!!! Baked beans? Not a bean around here except gourmet flagolets a la 'this & that!' But never mind! Oh dear! I'm not really all that bothered! If I had to have English or French fare...French would be my choice every time! Yeaahhh! Bring on the frogs legs (and Branston pickle!!) hehehe    Report
