Nov. 16th, 2010 03:36 amI have decided what I want from Kent from the UK:
1. Cadbury chocolate -- specifically the Picnic and Curly-Wurly ones. I've only had the Picnic bar once because Masha sent it to me but at the time, I think I wasn't sold on it. Now, I want to try it again. And I've always heard good things about the Curly-Wurly, though I've never seen it or had it before.
2. Stem ginger. Is this even sold here in the US? I have no idea...I certainly haven't been able to find it. It's not crystallized ginger -- it's actually packaged in syrup and ever since that one Calanthe fic featured it, I have always wanted to bake cookies with stem ginger in them. I suspect they would be awesome.
3. Clotted cream. This is low on the list because I don't think you can get it through Customs... I'm not even sure Kent would be willing to try. Maybe some of the jarred stuff that probably isn't half as yummy as the real stuff. God, I need him to go and have some while he's in England so I can live vicariously through him!
4. A can of spotted dick. Because it sounds awesome. I suspect it tastes awful but how can resist a name like that? I would make it myself but can't for the life of me, find suet. I think I would need to find a butcher (or kill a cow myself), wherever they are because I'm not really sure they exist here... :\
