UK Food Gift

My co-worker is headed back to his home in the UK for the holidays and asked what he can bring back for me. I've spent a few months in London, and remember liking marmite (on toast and in stews), but aside from that can't remember anything else. It's got to be small and relatively cheap - any basic "must haves" that I should ask for?

I don't know where you are, but large cities sometimes have British stores. there is a good one in NYC. And Stop and Shop markets have good UK sections.

I know it's sort of expensive, but I'd get Drumgray or Heather Creame. liquors that can only be bought in UK.

I can buy Lyle's Golden Syrup in rural China. You can't find in the US? Not that interesting anyway.

I'd suggest Stornoway Black Pudding, but there may be import restrictions.
