present for host family in france,what to give

[brimfull]

dd 14 is going on a french exchange trip in a few weeks What on earth do I buy for her to give the host family as a gift.What is typically british?
tia

something like fudge, or a nice fruit cake, shortbread?

thanks frenchgirl,great idea mmm fudge!

Oh they love English cheese.

like stilton?

Yep, stuff they cant get their hands on easily. The smellier the better i found

We have a little place in the south and was invited to a new years day lunch in the village. We took stilton and that blue vein stuff (im not a cheesy person sorry) with a bottle of port and they havent stopped talking about the cheeses.

thanks ,maybe I'll make up a gift box of various tasty stuff.
mumsnet to the rescue again!

whoops, the site is a bit slow today AGAIN!

wrap the stilton well for her otherwise she'll wonder why nobody wants to sit next to her

will do frenchgirl,don't suppose the school will allow dd to take a bottle of port though!

ggirl, the teachers might confiscate it...

Jam might be nice as well? Whenever I did a German exchange that was what my hosts always asked for :)
