I'm mainly focussed on food I can get here in the UK, but all are welcome to this thread of course!

I plan on being in Beijing from September for 6 months. What food should I eat during the next two
months to ensure I don't get homesick?

I already plan on eating many, many "full English" breakfasts, fish & chips and that british
staple : (Indian) curry.

I'd add kebabs onto the list, but I had a lovely lamb kebab in Beijing when I was there last year,
so I won't miss those.

What else?

Cream cakes and puddings! But don't get too fat before you come, because you'll find lots of new
favourites once you get to China.

My good cravings are so bad anyone would think I was pregnant. Off the top of my head:

1. gourmet sausages with rosemary etc.

2. fresh pesto. Any pesto.

3. real bread. With real grains and no sugar.

4. good pizza. Baked in a traditional oven, on a pizza base that's not got sugar.

5. gorgonzola, parmesan, brie, camembert, peccorino, goats cheese on crackers.

6. cheese cake, chocolate mud cake, creme brulee, chocolate eclaire

7. meat pie

8. chicken sandwich from the German stand on Portobello Rd. on Sunday

Strangely enough, I have to say that I miss Chinese-food from back home. The Chinese in China
don't prepare chinese food the same way as they do in Canada.

1. In-N-Out
2. Chipotle

why did you have to bring this up

Cheese, cheese and more cheese.

BTW, Yonitabonita, Annie's in Beijing has great pesto.

Man, I wasn't missing anything until yonitabonita gave me so many ideas. . .

Sory for making you all feel bad

Asian cuisine is my favourite anyway, so I won't actually miss the food as I'll be too busy
stuffing my face in Beijing. London's Chinatown isn't bad, and it's slowly getting more
china-chinese as the HK staff move on to other stuff and people from the mainland take their place.

I'm wondering if I'd miss light food; such as salads, lightly cooked fish, a rare steak & chips
etc. Of course, it's all replicable and no doubt Beijing will continue to open up new places.
