	Lyon's fruit pies, especially the apricot ones and the blackcurrant ones. It is not possible to buy sago at all now. I can't remember where but an island or group of islands were responsible for almost all the sago production in the world and they were hit by the tsunami. This killed the palms and rendered the ground too saline for more to flourish. A bit of an inconvenience for us but devastating for their economy.

	I just love beef dripping on bread with a sprinkling of salt - although I shouldn't eat it really. Go into any good butcher and you should be able to still get a lump of beef fat - and most won't charge you for it if you are buying other things at the same time. I still cook my chips in beef dripping - although it's the sort you buy in a block from the supermarket. :-) Kath. x
