Visiting New York and meeting a mate for the first time and brought some treats from the UK… Do you think these are acceptable?

  1. I’d include some Cadbury’s chocolate to show him what real chocolate tastes like.

  5. Missed the Caramel Wafers, other than that pretty solid 

  7. When I took snacks last time I went, Matchmakers and chocolate orange were extremely popular!

  9. Great choice but even though they’re my favourite crisps monster much when I have given to non British people 90% of the time they don’t like it. I think it’s definitely an acquired British taste 🤣

  10. “I’m just off to meet a friend from the internet. Now then Mother, which sweeties go best with the windowless van?”

  11. I’m visiting my friend next week in Ohio. He is originally from the Uk and he has asked for.

    Prawn cocktail crisps

    Galaxy chocolate

    Yorkshire tea bags

    Terrys chocolate orange

    I think I can fill a suitcase with what I’ve got him.

  12. I brought my American fiancés family some prawn cocktail crisps and they loved them, and were fascinated at the flavour choice. Could be a shout

    Edit to add: I also brought them each a chocolate orange, a caramel freddo each and some chocolate digestives. Those are the most British confectioneries I could think of lol

  13. Add in a pack of custard creams or chocolate digestives and you’re set

  14. The large pickled onion monster munch might be optimistic (unless its a British friend that has moved to America)

  17. More than. Nobody ever brings me these kinds of treats in NY.

  18. i’m afraid you’re missing the statutory Curly Wurly. apart from that, no notes.

  19. Be careful, I took one of those big Christmas sized bars of Dairy Milk over to an expat friend of mine in Texas and was held at the airport for ages, there was no other reason why they’d have held me!

  24. ‘English tourist arrested and deported by ICE for bringing in suspicious substances’

    Good luck

  25. Yes to the Jaffa cakes. But tell him he can only eat 3 at a time. I tell myself that and I eat the whole packet. Let me know the results.

  26. Sorry, but I wouldn’t have chosen any of those.

    Instead:

    * Tunnock’s Tea Cakes or Caramel Wafers
    * M&S Chocolate Rounds
    * Kettle Chips – Sweet Chili & Sour Cream
    * M&S Walnut Whip
    * Cadbury’s Caramel

  27. Good choices but I might add some beef and prawn cocktail McCoy’s, Tunnock’s caramel wafers and a Terry’s Chocolate Orange

  28. Not that you asked. But some suggestions would be Tunnock tea cakes, space raiders/nik naks, and hobnobs.

  30. Used to LOVE dodgers, went decades without having one…until recently. Got a pack of apple & blackcurrant and they’re even better than the original raspberry!

  32. Salt and vinegar squares would have been a nice touch, maybe a wham bar.

    But tbf, you’ve done an excellent job.
