We all know travelling is about broadening the horizons.<\/h2>

For most, surprising and challenging the palate is a big part of that, for us, it’s our favourite part in fact.<\/p>

There are still sometimes though where you need that familiarity. You may be homesick, hungover or perhaps ill- sometimes you just need some home comforts.<\/p>

UK<\/strong><\/h2>

For us Brits there’s so much average food we crave. It’s never just one thing. I wasn’t aware the locals called us Brits Whinging Poms until I got here. For years I stubbornly (another thing we’re good at) stuck up for us and argued it was rubbish but it’s not really is it? We bloody love a moan.<\/p>

It genuinely baffles me how many times I hear people bemoaning missing so much British food.<\/p>

YOU’RE IN MELBOURNE. BRITISH PEOPLE EAT BEANS OUT OF A TIN, CRAVE FOR AN INDIAN CURRY THAT WAS INVENTED IN GLASGOW (AND TRY TO CLAIM IT IS OUR NATIONAL DISH), EAT TEDDY BEAR SHAPED HAM AND A GOOD BREAKFAST IS ANYTHING FRIED…EVEN BREAD.<\/strong><\/p>

We might not be known for good food but there are also those guilty pleasures we just bloody need at times. Le Taj<\/a> in West Melbourne knocks out a curry that rivals back home. La Roche<\/a> in St Kilda does a solid Pommy Breakfast (it’s even called that) featuring hash browns, black pudding and offering brown sauce. Charles Dickens Tavern<\/a> on Collins does a belting Beef and Guinness Pie as well as a Gammon Steak- Dad would be pleased.<\/p>

And if all you’re missing is some sweet n’ sour chicken balls look no further than Dave’s Chinese in St Kilda- <\/span>complete<\/span> with curry sauce, chop suey and all <\/span>manner<\/span> of other English abominations on the Chinese cuisine.<\/span><\/p>
