I have lived away from my native country quite a few years now, and recently had house guests who asked me if there was anything special I wanted them to bring from home.
That was an easy answer, and it is always the same. Jolly Ranchers, Now and Laters, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (original flavor, please, it's the Cheesiest!), and Kraft Ranch dressing.
If you moved abroad, or have already done so, what do you think you wouldn't be able to do without?

I had not even thought about not having some things if I was to go abroad!! I know I would have to have some Girl Scout Cookies sent over! I would also bring my SunSilk Shampoo and Conditioner. I absolutely love it and would hate to be with out it. I would also have to get my canned dog food. My Izzy is so picky there are only 2 kinds she eats and they are made by the same company. She might starve if I did not stock up!!

I can't help with the cookies or the dog food, but you can get Sunsilk here in Europe.

No way! I wouldn't survive without avacados! At least being near Spain and Italy we can get things like that fairly easily.

I hope I never have to move abroad as I love my own country. However, if it were to happen, I would like to have HP sauce and sourcream and onion pringles, and I mustn't forget the bacon fries. I would definitely miss Tullamore black and white pudding so I would need to have these sent to me.

I love black and white pudding! If I moved back to the states I wonder if I would be able to get that?
I wouldn't worry about the Pringles. They are conquering the world with Pringles!

If I moved abroad I might like to have Starbars sent to me. They are the only thing I really like. What about Bounty Dark Chocolate Bars? Are they freely available everywhere? I would want those, too!

I love New York Bagels and New York Pizza. I make the trip up there 2 times a year just for them.

I really wouldn't think there is anything I would miss too much from this country. I stay in Singapore and we are multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-everything. :P
There is nothing really ethnic and native that I must have if I am elsewhere. :PP
