I've been away too long I guess, I don't miss anything, or I don't remember what I miss...

I'm going to London in a couple of weeks and want to bring back typically English/ British sweets or chocolate or biscuits or something to share at work and college on my birthday (tradition of birthday person being the one to bring stuff in, and I don't want to bake because I get back late the night before, have an exam at college and work straight after college on that day Sad). There's a reason I definitely want to bring English/ British treats to share though...

What sweets/ treats do I buy in London to share in Germany? I honestly can't think of anything, the only things I bother acquiring online or bringing back these days are teabags, but I assume I'm just jaded!

What sweets and bought food snack treats do you miss?

After a certain amount of trial and error I bring back rubarb and custard and pear drops with me to France. They both go down well while aniseed balls, butter mints and jelly babies really didn't have any success. That said, French tastes are not the same as German so you could try them anyway!
