Candy or Chocolate not available elsewhere?
Or just not available in america?
Nestle products like fruit pastilles, wine gums, flake bars, aero bars are delicious and hard to find in america, but I wouldn't point them out as iconcally british.

We have fantastic traditional sweets, but you won't find those without going to a real traditional sweet shop. Which is worth looking for, I suppose.

OP here.

I should have probably been more clear about the fact that I'm not from the US. I am from Finland, so we do have most of the same basic stuff you have too.

I just wanted to see if there was anything that was just very British available. Things like the strange flavours of Kit-Kats they have only in Japan or stuff like that.

Do you get Galaxy chocolate in America? it's not really an English delicacy or anything, but it's really nice and I haven't seen it in other countries. If you haven't got them over there, I suggest buying a Galaxy Ripple bar. As I say, it's not essential British eating or anything, it's just really fucking creamy.

But what you should really do (for a taste of authenticity) is go to a traditional British sweet shop and get a mixed bag of sweets. There'll be loads of jars of different things, and you just get whatever variety you wish to get in a paper bag. Ask the shopkeeper what the most authentic sweets are, and just get a mixture of those ones. We call that a mix-up.

Oh yes. You should see the Americans at our uni when they go back home they load their suitcases full of the stuff. They have dozens of different varieties. Just look for the name and give it a try. Although, an American corporation recently bought them and a few people have noticed a drop in quality. It's really sad to be honest.

Try to find an "old fashioned sweet shop" that has a wall of jars of sweets. All sorts of goodness in those.

They're not all that common so you may have to search for one. They have an insane amount of choice though hard to recommend. Lots and lots of things you can't get in America though.

I don't know if you have this distinction in Finland but here we have fudge which is used in chocolate bars and is more chewy and we have traditional fudge that is made in a tray, cut in blocks and sold by weight. It is more sugary and ten times better. Hundred of different types like my pic which is a combination of chocolate and orange fudge. If you don't have it in Finland I advise you check it out. It is pretty expensive for what it is though and is not meant to fill you up, just be a taste.

I don't know if you want to know about this, it isn't a sweet (what we call candy) or a chocolate bar but it is one of the most stereotypically British sweet things we eat. It is called a scone. It comes in a sweet and savoury style, the sweet being the most common one by far. It usually has raising baked in it. The way you eat it is called a cream tea. You have a pot of tea and a scone. You cut the scone in half and put Cornish clotted cream and jam on it and eat them like that. It is just like in a Jane Austen book when you see British high class people having low tea.

Yes and no. Scones can't be yeast leavened. If they are, they're no longer considered scones. American southern biscuits can be yeast or chemically leavened. Chemically leavened biscuits are nearly identical to scones, the difference being that scones tend to be sweeter than biscuits. Even savoury scones have a greatly pronounced sweetness to them.

McVities mad them a few years ago for a court case they were having.

In the UK biscuits are taxed but cakes are not. The inland revenue took McVities to court because it said that Jaffa cakes were actually biscuits, McVities baked some of these to prove that they are cakes.

If you're in London, there are dozens of awesome places to get chocolate.

Go to Curley's, in Sloane Square. Try the Cadbury's shit, and the Yorkies and the fucking creme eggs later, if you must, but eat some decent chocolate first.

British chocolate is pretty fucking disgusting - in most of the rest of Europe it's not legally called chocolate, it's somewhere between cheese and candle wax.

I definitely agree with finding a traditional sweets shop. They will carry hundreds of weird or old-fashioned sweets- stuff like dandelion and burdock, coltsfoot rock, pear drops, soor plooms, winter candy, rose/violet buds, pink shrimps, pint pots, etc. I don't know which of those you have in Finland, but there will probably be quite a few you haven't tried, and these shops tend to be really friendly and will let you try samples and mix and match (so if you want to try two or three sweets and don't want to buy an entire bag of each, ask! So long as you're not asking for a single piece from every jar, most places will happily do you a mix).

Borough Market can also be pretty good on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday for cakes, confectionery and savoury stuff like pies and cheese, there's a lot of traditional and artisan food on sale and you can try samples at nearly every stall.

Don't listen to this guy. Okay, the stuff we're recommending isn't the most posh or high-end, but it is the stuff that you'd most associate with Britain - and the stuff that most Brits eat and love. If you're going to overly-expensive shops you will get some beautiful chocolate, but it won't be a reflection of what is fundamentally and commonly British. By all means try the posh stuff, but try the more common stuff first and foremost.

Those bakewell tarts are full pleb with that icing and cherry, they just make it too sweet and overpower everything. The best bakewell tarts are simply crisp thin pastry, any jam, then chewy almond sponge cooked until slightly browned and crisp.

>an American corporation recently bought them and a few people have noticed a drop in quality
YES, I thought I was the only one who'd noticed that, everyone I've mentioned it too just says I'm being paranoid, but there is a very definite (albeit slight) change in the taste of the chocolate. It's most noticeable with plain Dairy Milks, I think. The nice ones that you get in the paper and tin foil packets are starting to taste more like the disgustingly cheap-tasting multipack/plastic-packaged "big" Dairy Milks. I really hope the taste doesn't continue to deteriorate.
