You'll have to put "smokies" on the list of foods available!.. what the hell are they anyway? Unless i have the name wrong? You get them along side the sausage rolls? And one of those spider drinks.. where they have an ice cream in a cup and then tip a can of fizzy drink over the top! *shudders*

:lol:

Hi,

I recently sent some packets of Jaffas to some of my family members in the UK - my brother seemed to like them. They are orange flavoured chocolate in a crispy shell.

Re: Australian sweets

Whenever I went to the Australia Shop in Covent Garden it was always

Milo (although it was banned for sale for about 12 months and you could only get Kenyan stuff - truly awful stuff)

Cherry Ripes

Caramello Koala's

Allens Strawberry & Creams and Chico's which I could never find a substitute.

These all used to cost a small fortune so whatever you send I'm sure will be gratefully received!

You could get TimTams at the local Tesco and for some reason Violet Crumbles appeared in Superdrug for awhile in a similar wrapper but called something else. Not sure they would have lasted the distance as I bought them for all my workmates who thought they were dire.
