I used to send
English food parcels to a friend in Alabama.

He became a big fan of Eccles cakes, and Chorley cakes too to a lesser degree. And grudgingly admitted that mushy peas are ok. He loved Kendal Mint Cake. He got hooked on Eleven O'Clock Tea (any rooibosch will do now, but I thought that was quite an English one to send him).

But the Marmite... he took into his work... after he and his colleagues had all had a spoonful the reactions ranged from "well it's not as bad as used diesel oil" to "she's trying to poison America!"
