Hi Bruce, Honestly, as a cultural study, food is fascinating. Mushy peas and baked beans are pretty high on the list of yearnings. Cadbury's is huge - anything English and chocolate, really. Candy, like Dip Dabs and Sherbet Fountains, ...and then there's the Walker's Crisps: cheese&onion, pickled onion and prawn cocktail... that's just a wee sampling. Fun stuff like Spotted Dick, gross stuff like treacle, and anything McVities, especially Penguins.
