quicko: pepper
Pepper is negligibly different in Australia. Aside from the whole peppers-being-called-capsicum fiasco, there's also the fact that regular salt-and-pepper pepper is a bit ... softer? More well ground? Not as tasty? Hard to pinpoint, but vaguely different.

As I recall, you had a hard time finding pepper at all in England, and we had to send you little restaurant packages of it in letters when you lived there. Interesting how it translates differently from America in both England and Australia.
You can get peppercorns either with or without a grinder in the spice section of a supermarket if you prefer less well ground pepper.
I have a little Tupperware salt and pepper shaker that one can take in a lunch bag (so about 1.5 inches tall x just over an inch wide x probably less than 0.5 inches deep). I have fine ground pepper in this because coarse ground wouldn't go through the holes; otherwise I use a pepper-grinder to grind my own fresh when I want it.
