Best British "picnic snack" for international picnic?!

Got a work event next week with international/global colleagues. Includes awkward "ice breaker" picnic. We have to take a picnic "snack" that represents our local culture (ie, British). It's got to be something that will survive a long flight (so tragically no scotch eggs or pork pies). What can I take?! Currently thinking Monster Munch, but please help!!

Fudge or toffee?

I was going to say Tunnocks Tea Cakes too! Yummy!

I've had that clotted cream from a jar, it was weird. Couldn't get the real deal on a Sunday morning in St John's Wood Grin
I'm sorry but I think M&S teacakes are far better than Tunnocks, even though they're more traditional, but I love a Tunnocks caramel wafer.

You could throw in a few cans of IRN-BRU.

I also prefer M&S teacakes tunnocks are too creamy/mallowy for me

Forget taking fruitcake if its the US. DH and I took a couple of slices of our wedding cake with us on honeymoon. The customs officer was insistent on binning it, but relented a little and let us eat it in front of her instead.

Home made scotch eggs for sure.
