I live in Minnesota, USA and have a friend in the UK who absolutely loves to cook. Cakes, curries, breads and foods from all over the world. She's done a fair bit of traveling, too.
As a thank you for all she does, I'd like to send her a care package from the U.S. Here in Minneapolis, we can buy certain products from the UK and I'm sure the reverse is true. I really want to make this care package unique with unexpected items.
Any suggestions of things I can send her that she might be hard pressed to find there? Are there any particular items that I definitely SHOULD and/or SHOULD NOT enclose? (Other than the obvious cold items like meat and cheeses.)
Feel free to recommend small kitchen gadgets or toys that might be nice to receive, too. What about spices?
Basically, any recommendations or MUST HAVES would be greatly appreciated!
Please let me know if you agree with the following things that have already been suggested by others on different forum:
Salt Water Taffy
Nutter Butter Cookies
Duncan Hines Cake Mixes (although she makes her own from scratch.)
Tinned Pumpkin
A good microwave popcorn (???)
Grits
Corn Meal or a good Corn Muffin Mix
From my time in Europe, I achingly miss a good chips and curry, curried Pringles and I'd trample my grandmother for some double cream!
