You can buy macadamias in most British supermarkets. Aside from the fact Hawaii grows a lot, they are not American.


Define American.


Err. Not macadamias. They’re grown in lots of places. The majority of macadamia trees that are cultivated anywhere in the world were all cloned from one or two trees in Australia.

These starbucks cherry blossom things are cool.



For parents, TJs snacks are pretty popular. And the seasonings. Underarmour is also local and you can find some neutral things.



They have Starbucks in the UK, and most likely sell these identical cups.

Agree with Trader Joe’s snacks though, that’s what I missed when we lived in London.

Beef jerky is definitely available. Scrapple sounds vile so don’t bring that


You must not be a philadelphian! I grew up on scrapple.

Definitely American snacks, preferably something local to your area and nothing that could melt in your luggage.

Are your friends reasonably well-travelled? If so, I wouldn’t bring a whole lot of American foods. They aren’t that special or particularly prized. Different if you are traveling from Italy and take an aged balsamic or high quality olive oil.

The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg has the best peanuts, much better than anything what they can buy in the UK. Mail order works well to get it from W'burg to you.
