Helen Beaumont, I must admit I'm with you there, those abominable excuses for teabags in the yellow boxes are dire to say the least. We always chuck a few proper teabags in with us.

Helen Beaumont - English tea is definitely a tradeable currency in Morzine / Les Gets!
brian - I'm with you on the "go native" sentiment. The total extent of our food importing extends to:
- Lloyd Grossman curry sauce (good and quick)
- Carluccio's lemon oil - for which there is no substitute locally
- some unctious balsamic vinegar - because it's too expensive to experiment buying stuff we don't know
- porridge - expensive locally
- some white tea (like Chinese green tea) - expensive locally
- marmite
I must admit that we find most stuff in the local shops to be much better quality than at home - although I've not found a good butchers yet.

I'm happy to give it ago, but my attempt last time was pants.
Any recommendations?

PhillipStanton, my recipe is for citrus oil, adn combines lemon, orange and lime. I have however made it just with lemons. I think the secret is in the lemon rind, you need lemons with nice thick skins, as they have more oils in them.

PhillipStanton, mmmm, two things don't add up,
1. I've never heard of a type of foodstuf, yet
2. It's that good you have to take it to France.
Actually this gives rise to a third; haven't the French heard of it either. |
I'm sure the French do have it / have heard of it - but they don't sell it in any of our local supermarkets.
Top tip, add a bottle of Pelforth Brune to the Rogan Josh if you're doing lamb. It's important to quality control the Pelforth Brune whilst cooking - you never know when you might have a dodgy bottle.

Now I see where it's all falling down. Add that booze to the chef - makes everything taste better

It's often been said that I look better after half a dozen Pelforth Brunes, but I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to apply them to myself or the person looking at me!

Thanks you gsb.
I got a letter this morning - they accept VISA cards. The same VISA card they let me order one with. 
I'm going to have to pick one up on the way - there's no way that Mrs PhillipStanton will stay awake for the whole trip!
