I see a decent amount of British food at Spinneys and Waitrose but can't bring myself to pay the 5x cost!

Wine gums. Never seen them here. Is it the name and the implication of alcohol? Is there pork product in them?

Easter eggs? Or branded as chocolate eggs as seems to be the case here in UK st the moment. The only ones I’ve seen with the words ‘Easter Egg’ are the Cadbury ones.
