I am slowly finding places that are sourcing my favourite Australian foods here in Brussels. The Waterstones English-language bookshop sells mint sauce, Vegemite, Crunchies, and plum puddings. The African Supermarket near Gare du Midi sells UK Milo. And my local Delhaize supermarket now sells kangaroo (with a security tag to prevent shoplifting).
However, I still haven’t been able to find a source of Weet-Bix, and I’m afraid that the British Weetabix is a poor substitute. Freddo frogs, Tim Tams, Cherry Ripes, Yowies are also nothing but a dream, especially as the Australia Store in London has now closed down. Last week a colleague brought me a packet of Musk Lifesavers from his travels, and it made my day.
