| Subject: | English and American groceries in Aix en Provence and Marseille |
| Date: | Friday, November 28, 2003 |

I have just recently moved from to Marseille along with my husband ho is French. We previously lived in Paris for three years. I however am orginally from London, UK.
I have fallen "head over heels" in love with Marseille and its outer regions and can not quite understand what took my husband and I so long to get here!! However, it has been quite difficult trying to find work in the communications field and the present economic situation in France has not really helped matters either. As a result, I am seriously thinking about starting my own small business by opening a shop that sells English and American groceries; a girl's got to earn a living!! It is very hard to find "baked beans" and "ribena" in France and although I am rarely nostalgic about my own country, I do find myself missing such things as "cheese and onion" crisps! Do you feel the same way? In this case, please could you tell me exactly what you miss the most? Thanks a bunch! Mimi |

When i lived in france, i definatly missed ribena! Having grown up in mostly commenwealth countries, ribena was the best!!
When I lived in france, I missed custard (still do), and brownies. I left france in 98 so I don't know about now but I missed the brownies, the only place I could buy betty crocker brownie mix was at an American store. |
