What do American Immigrants Miss?

[Roli]

I've noticed a lot of Americans have moved to London, and especially my area. On some days, 2-3 out of 5 people I meet on my dog walks are Americans who have moved here. It got me thinking that there's probably something they all miss but can't get, or find it hard to get over here.

So seeing as y'all are mostly American, I thought I'd ask what things do you miss when living abroad?

If it was the other way round, I'd be trying to get my hands on Marmite and teabags, is there a US equivalent?
