British candy

Post by eddiecanuck » Wed Jul 21, 2004 3:23 pm

So my wife just got back from a 2 week tour of Ireland, Scotland and England. Got a cool cap from Ireland of the Kerrys football team, got a St. Andrews Golf Course polo shirt from Scotland, and some candy from England. I just opened the Stretchy Strawberry Snakes. Not bad, basically strings of sour strawberry gummy candy. I've also got some Penguins, a bag of Rocky Chocolate, and some Jaffa Cakes minis. Gotta love souvineers. I'll post pics of her trip in a bit.

The UK totally smacks down on us when it comes to chocolates and other treats. I miss Twirls, myself. :(

Oh yes, ESPECIALLY chocolate. Cadbury's puts Hershey's to SHAME.
