We have some friends coming over from America next month and I'd love to make them a small 'british food hamper' any ideas what can go in? I struggle to think what we have that they wouldn't
Cadbury's, Branston pickle, piccalilli, Marmite, Jaffa Cakes, Vimto. What are their tastes? There's a lot of stuff we can't get here without importing.
Personally, I'd probably just buy some own brand goods from Waitrose or M&S.

I remember watching a programme once and this American man saw baked beans (he was visiting the uk) and he always thought they were prison food I love baked beans
McVities biscuits. Cadbury chocolate. Baked beans?
A KETTLE since apparently many households don't have them for boiling water for tea and microwave it??
Americans have baked beans. They are often served at cookouts, but usually have some sort of pork product in them. You can also get many different canned versions there. Boston Baked Beans is a classic dish. They don’t eat them like we do though, like on toast or on baked potatoes.

Nice butter. Good bread, from a local bakery. Local organic eggs. Cheese, inc. regional ones and Stilton. Good chutney. Pickled onions. Good granola made in the UK. Nice crackers for cheese. Do you have local specialties where you live?

No sadly just for a week for my birthday. Ive been looking at crisps today, think I'm gonna get some prawn cocktail and picked onion ones for them and some marmite. So many other good suggestions too.
There's a brand called great british crisp company which has a lot of weird flavours - fish and chips, english breakfast, cornish pasty etc.
Wine gums.
Crackers + cheese.
Tunnock's milk chocolate tea cakes.
Mr Kipling's victoria slices.
Maybe some local jam or marmalade?
