Blue Band is margarine, though the nearest equivalent to the spread would actually be a product akin to "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" Zesta is sort of like jelly, but is really more like a fruit spread the color of a melted piece of hard candy. It often tastes like I can only imagine a melted piece of hard candy would taste. It is usually florescent or neon in color. A picture on the front of the can usually indicated the type of fruit this particular Zesta is based on, though I have found no correlation between the image and various flavors of Zesta.

Instant coffee, if you are lucky, is Nescafe. If not, you get Star Coffee, a local brand that tastes more like brown paste than coffee. Accompanying your Nestcafe is Nido, powdered milk, which usually will be the only way to add dairy to your coffee. This time around, I was VERY lucky as the friend I was traveling with brought her very own French Press and little bags of ground coffee so that she and I could share the real thing.

Note to self: Buy mini French Press for all future travels.
