A goodie bag for a Brit in Mumbai?

Nile

When I travel to a hot country, I always carry my essential chocolate supply in the form of Smarties, M&M's and Minstrels. The hard shell stops the chocolate from melting until you reach your hotel.;)

I've eaten the locally available Cadbury's chocolate in several far flung destinations and it never tastes the same.:p :rolleyes:

So................I recommend that you send some Smarties, M&M's and Minstrels in your parcel.;)

Not the same continent but my brother in Canada really misses proper fruit cake - you know the Dundee type/Xmas cake stuff - we smuggle it in every year at Xmas because his wife doesn't bake!

i spent some time out there and our requests when people were coming to visit were

cheese bacon (prob not poss to post though)
marmite (couldnt get it where we were)
sweets (lots)
hair colour
crisps
biscuits

english treats are avialable out there (tho neveer saw marmite), but are very expensive.

I have a couple of friends living abroad. They both complain that they don`t do proper crisps in Bongobongoland. Red cross parcels therefore contain or are completely made up of Walkers finest.

Send Walkers crisps!

Walkers are owned by pepsi-co and now sold throughout the world branded as Lays and readily available on every corner in India, for pennies !

I have seen Lays in europe. They seem to adjust the flavours for the country ie Feta and orgegano in Greece. Do they do Cheese and Onion in Bombay?
