Wendy's frosties.
Malted Milk was my favourite chocolate bar when I was a teenager.
Peanut butter. Although to be fair, after extensive research I finally found a very hard to find brand here that tastes like Adams Peanut Butter.
Bridge Mixture is one of my favourites!
I have found myself dreaming about these Canadian Cheezies.
A nice hot pancake breakfast with maple syrup.
Ketchup chips!
Inexpensive and delicious Mexican food.
Hickory Sticks.
Any sort of red licorice...Nibs, Twizzlers...
Frozen perogies from the supermarket. Thankfully I can make these again now that we have a kitchen.
Pumpkin pie. Sigh.
Again, anything peanut butter here doesn't exist.
Popcorn isn't that big here. Just a bowl of buttery salty popcorn is something I miss. Oh, and that popcorn with the sauces (Orville Redenbacher) and Smart Foods Cheddar Popcorn.
Black beans. I have on rare occassion found a bag of dried black beans and it says "imported from Canada".
And of course recipes using volume measurements. With this method one can use any cup.
Speaking of baking. There aren't really chocolate chips here either. Luckily, large slabs of good chocolate are cheap here and I just cut those up.

Hey! I am so with you on all of these. On friday, our little family shared a large frosty! Mmmmmm. I've got a new cheap slab of chocolate treat that I will introduce you too. A warning- a big bag of bridge mixture is about 600 or 800 calories. I figured that out after polishing one off- haha!

So basically if you consider the big bag of Bridge Mixture half of your daily caloric intake, then you are fine!
I lived in Toronto for 3 years and I'm back in the UK. I also miss hickory sticks.
I thought I'd mention that Sainsburys sell organic black beans in cartons. I used them a lot in Canada and I was surprised by how difficult they are to find in the UK.
Oh, thank you for that black bean tip! I will look for them at Sainsbury's.
