Jelly babies aren't very similar to gummy bears except in shape e: according to wikipedia jelly babies have been around longer

Jelly babies are the only sweet I've had where you can get such a variance in quality even from the same manufacturer. Some batches seem to be hard with mostly starchy outer casing and very little jelly and then others you get are much softer and mostly jelly, do they just go stale from sitting in a warehouse for years or something? In any case, the real british treasure if the soft fruit jelly, both a fantastic sweet and naturally vegan-friendly from before that was even a serious consideration. Do they ever get any play on the continent?

quote:Victory V is a British brand of liquorice-flavoured lozenges.[1] Originally manufactured in Nelson, Lancashire, they were devised by Thomas Fryer and Edward Smith MD in 1864[1] and were initially made by hand to ensure that each sweet contained the correct amount of therapeutic ingredients; ether, liquorice and chloroform. pretty cool that they still make these

"British wine gums" sold here are universally horrible independent of where they come from, since they are made from starch instead of gelatin and stick to your teeth like white dog poo poo to a shoe.

circus peanuts are vile, but i don't think anyone actually eats them. there are a few us ancient legacy candies like that, which somehow linger to this day despite no one liking them.

I've been meaning to get a tin of barley sugar because British whisky people are always using it in their tasting notes and I have no real idea what they mean.

I used to have a great aunt who would fill big bags with sweets for the kids. Half the stuff we couldn't even stand, but the only thing that could get her to change the composition slightly was a company going out of business. I can only assume that's where stuff like this goes.

polo fruits were incredible, probably my favourite sweet apart from cherry drops. could never make my mind up about citrus polos though, very mood based polo.
