Right very slow off the mark this year with present shopping and have decided to send a good friend in America a care package..

I know she loves our chocolate, so sending her some of that.. Any other ideas which you may think are a good idea to send over. Was thinking tea bags, as they don't have good ones over there, or not readily available.

my xhusband  who is in New york was always getting his mum to send marmite and crisps

Ooh yes Pickled Onion monster munch.. Could try Marmite too..

tablet?

tablet?? Tigger what you bouncing on today :-P

Tablet. Too sweet for me!

OOOh i see, never ever heard of them, thought Tigger had been on some tablets herself with that reply.. Lol.. Sorry Tigger ;-)

Tablet's a great suggestion :-) You can't get it in the states and I couldn't live without it :-)

edited to say, oh sorry didn't realise there were some poor people who were unaware of the pleasures of tablet :-)

Now to find some, like that idea providing its not too heavy..

Keep em coming guys..

ooh that sounds wonderful being a southerner and english I have never heard of it Doh!

If I remember, it's very like fudge, only hard.

> southerner and english I have never heard of it

Me too, though i'm sure my grandparents would of not been too happy to hear that i've never heard of it - ancestors are Scottish on one side.. oooppss..

It's similar to fudge, but should be crumbly - not chewy. Lees make tablet that is available in most supermarkets but it's not very good. Asda up here sell Mrs Tillys tablet which is excellent, I'm not sure if it's available down south though?

looks like I may have to try making some mmmm

Kendal mint cake as well!!! lovely on a cold walk. Our mates when we visit Florida always ask for Jacobs Cream Crackets and wine gums. We take about a case full and bring back new clothes and shoes in size 13 for my sons.

Get the 'Thorntons butter tablet,' it's to die for if like me you have a sweet tooth.
