I have a home sick grandfather on my hands each Christmas and this year I got him for secret santa so I want to put together a nice hamper for him.

Iv found somewhere close that sells Pork pies so I will venture down there and grab some of them for him.
And we get Mr Kippling bakewell tarts here as well so I will get some of them too

What else can I add?

I really like the look of Here They seem to have a lot and for a pretty decent price.

If you were a home sick Britt what would you like in your hamper?

Thanks in advance

where do you get pork pies?!?!?!

there is nothing like christmas dinner in england... i would want bread & butter pud. and a marks & sparks picnic hamper... they always did such a nice job

[~Alicia~]

bit hard to get a marks and spencer hamper here though

I can get pork pies from a speciality bakery not far from my house


My nana makes a mean Bread and butter pudd and yorkshire pudd so I dont want to step into that territory

There are a couple of stores here in Sydney, one of them sells Persil washing powder, which I found hilarious, I mean I didn't exactly find myself in London saying "man I wish I could get some Dynamo"!

Anyway, try this place - http://www.atasteofh...om.au/index.php

I would suggest Jaffa Cakes, mince pies, and maybe it's just me but Terry's Chocolate oranges are just the best.

Also Bourbon Cream biscuits, Lilt soft drink, Ploughman's pickle relish, Hellman's mayonnaise.

ok I'm hungry now.

My nana makes the mince pies every year too so I will leave them to her.

Bourbon cream biscuits you say? I might have to find them they sound good

[laurenw]

yes, very nice, but unfortunately named as i don't believe there is any (or not enough to notice) actual bourbon in them. They are kinda like our Creamy Chocolate bikkies.

Oh ok Ill look for some anyway thanks

[~Alicia~]

Is this them?

[laurenw]

that's them

[~Alicia~]

Awesome thanks for your help.. I cant wait to see the look on his face on Christmas morning, Im also asking my nana all I can, she thinks he will love it and it will be really personal, the most labour intensive christmas present this year for anyone from me I think

[laurenw]

i think it sound like a great idea. my friend gave me hamper for m birthday years ago with all of my fave foods in it. it was fantastic and so touching that not only did he know me so well, but had gone to so much effort for me.

how about Pork scratchings, nothing like a good pack of them with your beer.

David Jones, of course, Thanks Helen I may have to go for a trip into the city and have a look at what they have in Brisbane.

If not I am going to the Pie shop tomorrow and they sell groceries too and I have made a list from the place in perth to chat to my nana about today while he is out in the garden
