Sometimes it is the basics you really miss
fresh milk
granary bread
marmite
And then of course there are other things, like simply being able to drink water straight from a tap etc.
And then there are the things that are not about products, such as fresh air, moisture in the ground, green countyside, security, etc. It's amazing how you do not value things until you are away, then you can really appreciate what you have.
I'm not sure i've seen any. It never seems to be available in the hotels/restaurants i go to.
Oh right, in hotels.. well that might be down to where you actually go, not sure.
In supermarkets there is plenty of it, and it's usually pretty good quality having been shipped by road from Florida where it's grown, rather than left to ripen in a container ship for 2 months.
However their varieties are weird, and everything's about 3 times the size it should be. You can really see the obsession with size in the fruit and veg counter in a supermarket!
such as fresh air, moisture in the ground, green countyside
Yes!
Also miss an early spring. You know, flowers in February. In Finland it was well into April before anything started to happen and then it took absolutely frigging ages.

My children.
The rain, strangely enough.
After 6 months in Afghanistan - wife, son, alcohol, food that hasn't been deep fried to within an inch of its life...
beans on toast
I mean, I don't really eat it that often at home, but when away, this is the one meal I really miss for some reason.
