Have you got a farm shop near you? ours is full of lots of interestin things, fancy olive oils, salad dressings,dried herbs, odd sauces and chutneys.

Good olive oil - look at the specialist aisle in Sainsbruys for ideas for foodie ideas.

A posh balsamic vinegar
Truffle oil
A smoked garlic
Fudges posh biscuits for cheese
Tapenade
Squid ink pasta
A panetone

Do you have an Asian or Chinese supermarket/shops nearby?
Throw yourself on the mercy of the shopkeeper and ask them for anything unusual or exotic

Most supermarkets have a small fancy/interesting ingredients section with things like sushi ingredients or premium risotto rices etc.
