I just wondered for a bit of light hearted fun, and to while away the Monsoon time, if people really missed anything from home while in Goa.
Mine were mainly:
A lovely hot deep bubbly bath, our hotel only had showers.
Decent bacon and sausages, glad i didnt try the Goan ones, and i didnt even know then what i do now!
Strong cheese, only had mozarella while there and i love my mature cheddar.
Fresh crispy salad, i dared not eat it out there.
Cold lager.
I cannot think of anything else i missed, apart obviously from my family, and there was lots i certainly didnt miss about the UK, and felt peed off about returning to. Anyone else?

If you go to Teama at the bottom of Candolim beach road for breakfast they have Heinz baked beans (or at least they did last time we were there).

Have to say, as much as I really love hot curries etc, I eventually end up missing a good old Sunday roast. I also miss my cat, my bed and my family, not necessarily in that order of course!!

I missed my kids, my own bed and pillow, a home cooked roast dinner and having straight hair (straighteners being ineffective cos of the humidity)! Apart from that - nothing!

I missed my hair straighteners too lovemyhols, they go everywhere with me! :roll:

But too many great things to do out there instead, they are a bind. I went frizzy/wild instead and liked it.

Talking of simple food, i too really missed a good roast, and cheese and potato pie. I love spicy food and curries etc but was looking forward to a good ol Brit meal on flight home. They announced it was chicken.... curry! The whole plane groaned!
I missed my garden and British birds, and marmite, and Horlicks.

I miss nothing. But of course if it wasn't for my well paid stressful job I wouldn't be able to go - so here's to next time and 6 months hard work!!
