I love Jelly Babies and mushy peas.  But not together.  lol

But I don't think you can get a decent cup of coffee anywhere in the British Isles.

Debbie,

        What am I thinking, I've forgotten to mention "afters".............One of my favourites is rice pudding:

The only thing I would add to the recipe above is to put a dolop of jam in the centre of the portion of rice  before you eat it.

Going back to your original post regarding "what not to try", the only thing I can think of is "organs". Something like Steak & Kindney Pie or liver, as it appears that "septics" don't eat organs, or so my American friend in Florida tells me.

Regards.  .

Jelly Babies and Jelly Beans are different. Jelly Babies are shaped like babies, and are soft through out, whereas jelly beans have the harder shell. I haven't found an equivalent to jelly babies over here.

Oh, and the Haribo jelly babies are THE BEST!

Not too keen on Jelly Babies but you can get them from World Market and stores such as that . I love Wine Gums ( its gotta be Maynards ) and Yorkshire Mixture . I do miss dandelio and burdock pop too .
