Oregon Tea Drinking Statistics

I guess that's the effect on the tea industry when you have a Brit move to Oregon in Early Feb

 

There are some Brits that are just embarrassing to the rest of the nation....

 

Hmmm...I read that as "tea bags" instead of tea leaves...but I guess it could mean the bottled stuff. We don;t really have that in the UK but it's pretty popular out here due to the iced-tea eipidemic

 

we have to get people to send us PG tips. lol. liptons is cr*p.

 

I agree re liptons....I need more Twinings Earl Grey...no other does it quite like Twinings.

 

Strangely enough, I've just been sat in the Spyware Specific Forum with someone called "Teapot" lol

 

lev, what do miss most about england? my list:-
cadbury's chocolate (especially flakes)
king size rizzla's
tea,
heinz salad cream,
oxo cubes,
bacon, (thick back bacon, not the streaky kind you get here)
butter and double cream (i dont know what the US does to its dairy products, but they dont taste the same)
indian take away ( chicken kauma), and beleive it or not fish and chips.
having milk delivered,
having rubbish collected,
and of course the pubs.

 

Nicework Lev. Which State or Province is next?

 

I can get Cadbury's, here, or I would miss that. Mostly I miss.....

my boys
All indian food and supplies
Fish n chips
Cream (they add sugar...that's why it's wierd)
Bisto gravy granules

I don't actually miss that much. What I have gained far exceeds what I no longer have....except I miss my boys, but they are back out again at Easter

 

i hear you. both my eldest two are in england at the moment. i miss them so much it literally hurts. i may send jacob (my youngest) to england for christmas to stay with his sister. will make for a miserable christmas though. and yes i wouldn't swop what i have now for all the cadbury's flakes in the world.

 

What about the tube
And great Actors
The great weather

 

Mmmmm...cadbury's flakes.....last time I visitied AZ in 2002 a friend who lives there asked that I brought some flakes...he missed them so bad. So I did...about 30 of the things......but a delay at Tucson airport in the middle of August ensured they were more like blocks of chocolate than flakes by the time I got them off the tarmac!

 

Who am I kidding?? Actually, I am totally homesick right now....

 

The administrative assistant at the college where I used to work was English, and would always drink something called " ------- Extra Strong Teabags". Can't remember the brand, but it was wonderful. She used to have to get it from England. Anyone from the UK have any idea what I am talking about ????
You could pick it up at most "chain stores" in England.

 

it was probably tetleys, or PG tips.

 

i am lucky. i get a fairly constant stream of visiters who bring me the stuff i miss, or send me parcels. i wish my daughter could come here for xmas.

 

Extra Strong?

Is it the stuff in pyramid shaped bags? They're great PG tips does them. Personally I'm more of a Tetleys person myself (THE TEA NOT THE BITTER).

 

there is actually an english shop on oahu. i've not looked them up, though, so i dont know what they carry. if there is one here, i imagine there are more on the mainland. goldie, i bet it's getting cold about now. tea has kinda been swopped for cold beer here, but i still have the occasional cuppa, and have enough PG tips to last me at least a year! ruuning out of oxo cubes. i'll have to send an sos. i dont know how the americans make gravey, as they dont have bisto either.

 

Yeah, its really getting chilly - and windy - and raining. Right now we've got quite a clear sky which looks lovely but it's absolutely FREEZING. I might go for a cuppa now

 

We have an english groceries shop in Salem, but it is sooooo expensive. I thought food was expensive in England, but English food in America is even more so.

@Laurie....you can get Bisto-style cartons of gravy granules....look in the packet mixes section of your grocery store. If you still can't, msg me and give me your address and I'll post you some
