I've only been able to find Hobnobs at S&R and then only in a three-pack with the Originals and Rich Tea types. Sadly, they were available for only a limited time and are no longer offered. I miss Hobnobs!

I shall try to find the original ones

Here in Davao, SM Supermarket carries a very limited assortment of British foods. A couple of breakfast cereals and biscuits from Tesco and the Original and Milk Chocolate McVitie's digestives. Savemore, SM's kin, also stocks the same. Good luck!

It's a hate it or love it with marmite, personally I hate it .

Never tasted it. My GF loves shrimp paste on mangoes. Haven't tasted the shrimp paste either but when she cooked it, the smell is enough to make sure I never do.

This is where Aussies and Brits part ways... we'd use Vegemite instead of Marmite (if we used anything and often we don't) 

There are very strong opinions about Marmite vs. Vegemite. I taste little difference between the two, but what do I know? I put either on buttered toast or bread sometimes when in Australia and NZ. But I passed on the cold baked beans.

Bacon, eggs and toast, of course! (Bacon rashers, when in Commonwealth countries instead of slices in USA)

Bagoong you are referring to? I eat it on green mangoes. It's not bad really - especially the spice version. It adds a bit of zest and a ton of salt. I put a little on the mango bits while L loads up with a lot more. I don't mind the smell of that so much as that of some of the dried fish that L buys and prepares. That drives me right out of the house. It's right up there with durian in my opinion...!

Tess has already been warned, the new house has a open plan kitchen living space.

No outside "dirty kitchen," Gary?
