What do you miss most in Tenerife that you can get at home.
I miss proper Genoa fruit cake with glazed cherries in. You just cant get it. I'm having to bring all the ingredients over from the UK and make it ourselves. The rubbish that they sell in Iceland is just sponge cake with currents in. Not real fruit cake.

Not a lot, as Iceland does most stuff if you really get a hankering... but the one thing they don't do is Battenburg. I miss those from time to time. :yum:

My mum brings it out for me, because I can't get it there. The woman told me they get it, but it goes quickly.

They don't always have it, you have to be lucky and go in when it has just been delivered.

I do miss the shops being still open when I decide to go shopping at lunchtime. Its about time they sorted that old custom out. The times I've gone to Santa Cruz and found all the shops shut.

The Tesco Shop We go to seems to have a steady flow of "Miniature" Battenburgs.

In a Box of about 6 and slice size. Not quite the same as the usual one, but they might get there..?:flatcap:
