As an Australian, of course I find Vegemite DELICIOUS!!!!!  It's rather salty, perhaps tangy, very difficult to describe. If you do happen to stumble across Vegemite, a common mistake to lather bread in vegemite - DON'T. You only need a tiny amount. I love it with toast. You can't buy Kinder Surprises in the supermarket? Anywhere I go, there are kinder surprises. Great taste, shame I haven't had one in yonks. I haven't travelled (except interstate) but I try to budget as much as possible with food: 1 kg Apples ($5) A big bag of Popcorn ($2) Cheap biscuits ($1) All filling and cheap! When I finally do travel, I'll probably live off of Apples and Sushi. Oh, and coffee.  |

i love apples but can't rely on them to fill me up! They're great for when you're in the mood just to snack on something when you're not really hungry, but I find they make me hungrier! If I'm eating an apple I have to eat it before my vegemite sandwich at lunch, so the sandwich fills me up!

I live in Nova Scotia and yes, we can buy Kinder bueno here. It's not my favorite chocolate, but it's not bad. |

There are lots of cheap places to get sushi in Vancouver. I can get 18 pieces + miso soup for less than $6 Canadian, which is about $4.50 US. I didn't eat any sushi in Europe yet, but I can't say I looked at the price. I just figured it would cost a lot more.

Wow, no Kinder surprise eggs? Poor thing!
I can't believe it, they are so good!
Bueno too, pretty much all kinder products are amazing!

TEXTI'm Canadian but I moved to the states some years ago. Not only does the US not have kinder eggs, we also don't have smarties, crunchies, coffee crisps, areos, the list goes on. Whenever I visit family I always stock up on candy bars, and it makes great presents for friends at home.

No Smarties, Coffee Crisps, Aeros or Crunchies?! You poor thing!! I do feel terrible for you! I can understand the need to stock up when you visit family!
As far as when I was travelling, we usually stocked up on juice boxes and granola bars.. They were easiest to carry in our day bags, and often could curb our hunger until we could find somewhere to eat a regular meal. And yup, markets are everywhere... fresh bread, cheese and wine were amoung my favorites!

My best friend lived for a while in California. I would send her boxes of Smarties, MacIntosh toffee and Joe Louis pastries. ;D

I think I told this one already, but I still find it very amusing. Not at the time actually, but it makes a good story on parties. I went to New York about five years ago and was amazed by all the kinds of M&M's that were sold. Silver, golden, purple, with peanut butter filling, walnuts and so on. I decided to make some presents out of it, so I wanted to buy a kind of M&M's that wasn't on sale in the Netherlands yet. After long deliberation I decided on the M&M's with the crispy filling. I got out of Schiphol airport, got on the train and when we passed Utrecht there was a huge sign saying: NEW!!!!! M&M CRISPY!!!!! TRY IT!!!!!! I ended up eating my presents myself and slapping myself over the head for not buying all the other flavours I mentioned. Those still aren't sold over here yet. |

Going back to the main subject: In Britain, most hostels (EXCEPT in London and some other popular cities) have good to excellent kitchens. I always prepare my evening meals in hostels, or else get take-out fish & chips, or for a splurge, take-out indian or chinese. Eating in restaurants is very expensive here. In other European countries, an adequate kitchen in a hostel is rare. For lunch, in most countries, I buy bread or rolls, marg, and spreads or sliced meat, and a cake or two |
