What to take on self catering trip

[arkvilla]

OK I have to ask, what kind of tea do you bring over ?I mean the brand name. We have an extensive Uk department at Wegmans although they are having difficulty with shipping at the moment but we have a huge selection of British and Irish teas. Do they sell Twinings in the UK or Bewleys? What am I missing that I should look for?

I like Cafe Direct Tink, it's a Fairtrade tea ( lots of them are now)

I also like the Twinnings everyday tea

I used to take all sorts of things, but now I don't take anything, not even tea. I like Twinings Irish tea so that's what I buy over there and it's not a bad price either.

I've got my list ready for Publix before we get there as we've got our favourite bread, food etc Yes I really do write a list on the flight over

Ah now... bread..... yes hmmm I've not figured that one out yet really.

I do love sandwiches but just can't get "normal" uk bread/butter out there :/

What bread do you buy over here

We were a bit like that in the beginning and now we have found one that we like. We tend to go for an unsliced fresh loaf as we've found the slices to thin if we ask them to slice it for us. I think without a doubt though, the best bread we have had was from Yalaha Bakery (I know I keep on about it, but I love that place )

As for butter if we fancy a treat we buy Kerrygold - but it is really expensive. Otherwise I buy Land 'O Lakes salted butter which is quite nice.

Just warburtons normal white. I like it because it doesn't dry out as much as some of the others.

ooo ok

I'm a saddo and take my butter with me ( just the Lurpak spreadable) I pop it in a tupperware sealed box and put it in my case. I also take some extra mature cheddar if we are going out for more than a couple of weeks

I checked the homeland securities site before bringing them and it's fine as long as it's hard cheese and not in hand luggage

Wendy I have to laugh because I was going to recommend Kerrygold myself, if you could find it and obviously you can. Yes it is expensive, normally more for 1/2 pound of that than a whole pound of regular butter, but if I'm not using it for cooking that's all I buy to put on food.

OK, so you won't like the bakery bread then Chris said you like plastic bread (I have slapped him ) I would have thought Publix's own pre-sliced bread that isn't baked in store would be ok, I'm sure Tink will know of something

I stay bread and butter free when we are in Florida!
