I don't take Berocca for hangovers, although I know many people do. I take Berocca for the days I'm worn out and need energy. If I have a cold and need strength, I'll take Berocca. Whenever I'm on a transatlantic or transpacific flight I take Berocca about an hour before landing, I get a boost of energy, feel good and suffer no jetlag.

Berocca are fizzy vit b tablets. If you have a hangover they seem to help a bit. Also taste rather nice with vodka

Phoenicia Mediterranean Bakery and Deli here in Austin, Texas. I can get English & Irish bangers (made in FL but taste like the real thing), cornish pasties, HP Sauce, Salad Cream, real English Heinz baked beans ... and chocolate-covered Hob Nobs! They don't sell Berocca yet, but I bring plenty of that over from the UK.</font>

We have a DOLLAR SHOP that sells packets of Bisto for $1.00

Well, as long as we're talking food and drink:
The mighty 'fry' in Ireland.
Hercegobacke odrezak and cevapcici in Bosnia.
Green tea with cardamom and chapli kebab in Pakistan. And how amazing (brown) tea can be, plus the use of sugar when cooking rice from an Afghan refugee in Peshawar.
Near-frozen lemon soda (the most refreshing drink in the world) in India.
Inka Cola in Peru. It's the only drink that comes close to my country's beloved 'other national drink', Irn Bru. And alpaca meat.
Mint tea, originally in France and bettered in Morocco.
Apple tea in Turkey, and Turkish coffee in Turkey and Bosnia (Bosnian coffee makes Turkish coffee look harmless).
The joy of goose in all its forms, in Hungary.
The mighty soups, borshch and salyanka, in Russia. And the use of sunflower seeds as a great snack for very long train journeys.
Musk ox (or uumingmaq), and the freshest trout known to man, in Greenland.

Discovery number 1:
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. I went for the first time in 1988, and vowed to go every year for the rest of my life. This year will be my 17th consecutive Jazz Fest.
Which led to discovery number 2:
New Orleans, including a secret unknown to most tourists: the city of New Orleans is far, far more than hanging out on Bourbon Street, drinking cheap beer, and begging women to expose their breasts.
Which led to discovery number 3:
Southwest Louisiana. It's a spectacularly interesting world down there!
(I know that most responses to this post have been about food, and trust me, this one is in large part, too!)

Dutch Hashish. Available only in the 'coffeeshops' of Amsterdam. In my experience it is superior in quality and purity to anything from other parts of the world. As a medicinal user, I can tell you that nothing has been as effective in releiving my muscle spasms as Dutch Hashish. I wish I could get it here.

Biscoff. They are the little, individually-wrapped cookies/crackers. Their web site calls them "original caramelized biscuits."

They are served on America West (among other airlines, I suppose).
