Of all the cultural changes Rebecca Grieve has been forced to deal with having relocated almost 5000 miles from Edinburgh to the US state of New Mexico, it’s the food from home that she misses the most. Specifically, the breakfast cereal. And it’s why, every time her parents jump on a flight to visit her, their suitcases are packed with the home comforts that she’s pining for. It’s not only been the food to which she’s had to adapt, though - New Mexico is, in many ways, like an alien planet in comparison to Scotland.
“When my parent come to visit me, they pack a full suitcase of all my favourite things from Scotland,” Grieve says.
