...and one thing led to another

[binley100]

Just booked the dog into the kennels for his Summer holiday and am now sitting here dreaming of our annual 2 wks in Carnac. Which encouraged me to have a nice bit of Saint Agur cheese which then led to thinking about what we bring back off hols.
Estate car + no kids = plenty of room for:-
The wine lake (red of course)
Cheese-last year discovered something like Boursin made with blue cheese
Mayonnaise de Dijon
Salad dressings
Taboulleh.
So much choice that you can't get here even the value brands are as good as our top brands.

So, what do other people bring back off their hols from wherever?

At Easter we usually spend a fortnight in Wales (not this year though because we are in Northumberland and Scotland). When in Wales we always make sure we visit 'The Newquay Honey Farm' in order to stock up on mead.

In the summer we always spend two or three weeks in Ireland. The most important thing we bring back is peat. Not peat for compost but the peat turves they use as fuel. It burns fantastically on the open fire. I know it's a bit weird but it's just something we have always done.

Oh! I went to Carnac last year (no - 2008!) and had a fantastic time. First time in Brittany for me, but not the last. All that sunshine - anyone remember sunshine?

I had Remoulade there (a sort of coleslaw made with celeriac) and loved it so much I had it with everything. In fact I am going to try growing Celeriac this year so I can have my very own supply

I brought some garlic bulbs back with me from Carnac supposedly to plant in the lottie, but I'm afraid I ate them all before they could be planted. Very nice garlic it was too. I'll just have to go back to get some more.

As mine are usually spent in the back garden and local G/centres it usually involves fresh stuff.

The last holiday abroad in Portugal I brought back a hat - still wearing it 10 years later.

For me it would always be the wheaten bread and tatie bread from Belfast!

When ever we go abroad, I always fetch a good bottle of Malt Whisky, something I can't get in England without paying an absolute fortune. I love mi Malt Whisky.

Holidays..whats them? With me being ill for a couple of years and then trying to start my own business and him being newly self-employed at a dodgy time holidays are an annual trip to my parents in Devon. Which is lovely.
And doggie bag includes proper clotted cream, and some local blue cheese, and Devon beer and cider.

I do that too!

We go up to Loch Tay in Scotland for our week's hols and often bring back Cairn O'Mohr wine (link)

Whenever we go to France (in a 4x4) Chocolate Brownie has to be packed in alongside the red wine lake - she's used to it

[Nicos]

When we go to the Uk we bring a car load of nosh back to go straight into the freezer!...

so I was thinking if I could only bring 2 things back- one edible and the other not, what would they be?
Have to say Persil non-bio washing powder...and minced lamb ( and I'd have to smuggle some teabags down me socks!!!!)

[Glutton4...]

Nicos, you can buy Persil Non-Bio in Carrefour - well you can in the Cite-Europe one anyway LOL!
