SPICES
Cinnamon: Not all cinnamon is the same. Most sold in grocery stores is of lesser quality species. The best quality is from Sri Lanka, where it originated, and is called Ceylon cinnamon or true cinnamon. It is the bark from the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. true cinnamon. The lesser quality cultivars are the widely used Cinnamomum cassia, Cinnamomum verum and a great number of other varieties.
I bought the Kurundu brand which is a true cinnamon and is available in stick or powdered form.
CONDIMENTS
From the Two Fat Ladies, a couple of English condiments they use are anchovy and mushroom ketchup. They are available from British Essentials.

From South Africa comes my favourite chutney: Mrs. Ball's Original (with Peaches & Apricots). Goes great with pork or chicken whether hot or cold.
Better Than Bullion is, as the name suggests, better than standard liquid or dry cube bullion. It is an extremely concentrated paste that give rich flavour to any dish or sauce, and is not as salty as most. Available in beef, chicken and vegetable.
