Piggybacking on Spiral's thread, I thought it would be worth asking what food(s) you miss from a former country of residence that are difficult to find where you live now.
For me, it's good Chinese food. Yes, I know it's ubiquitous here in the U.S., and I've even found a couple of places that aren't too bad, but Chinese food, at least the Caribbean version of it, is infinitely better. |

I don't miss anything at the moment, but that could change at the drop of a hat. I find that my culinary whims are generally met here in Beijing.
Well, I just returned from a three-week trip to Southeast Asia, so I am happy to be back and enjoy Chinese food. I got my fill of Southeast Asian food a few weeks ago; I found that Bangkok has a pretty good offering of Western food as well. That did the trick and hit the spot.
Warm regards,

| I used to miss good cheese, but it's all available here now:-) At least in the big city. |

| Mexican food. Not very popular in Japan. Sometimes make it myself. |

Same in China. Had my mom send some hot sauce for cooking (when she visited she brought a little one too). Lovely week of pinto beans tortillas and queso. Once the sauce was gone, beh. I have even tried growing my own peppers, hard in a concrete flat. Trying again once spring comes.
I miss enchiladas with only cheese, I really miss sourdoughs pizza from a place in my hometown, but I was gone from there years before I left.
What I really miss is the ocean, lived by it all my life until I came here. |
