| Scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Never tasted anything better and outside, they just taste different. |

I would rather be a cliché from the 70s than a current DCUM cliché... |

I think it should be repurposed in other threads on other DCUM forums. Really. |

| Rose and violet chocolates, if you want to go old school. Try Harrods or Fortnum & Mason. |

| To gooseberry fool poster - where oh where in the UK or elsewhere can one get gooseberry anything? (I already have gooseberry jam...looking for pies, fools, etc.) |

My suggestions are....go to L'escargot (if its still open) in Soho, to the Argentinian steak house on Swallow St in Piccadilly and if you want something sweet, go to the pasty counter in Harrods food hall. |

| "pastry" not pasty, of course. |

I didn't try the third, but the first two...yes, yes, yes. Also grocery stores have great selections of Belgian chocolate and treats from elsewhere in the EU. Even store brand stuff is good! I picked up some "soft jam" to bring home and it only lasted like 2 weeks in our house.

Dark chocolate ginger cookies--I particularly liked the "Border" brand from Scotland.
Sicilian lemon curd. Afternoon/cream tea. |

Why, of course? I love a good British pasty. Speaking of pasties, Pure Pasty Co in Vienna makes delicious ones. |

This is very pedestrian but the KitKat bars are delicious
I agree with all the other "1970s cliches" as well |
