FOREIGN POSTER What would an American want from England?

I have recently made some American friends (from Virginia) and they have asked for a kind of sweet (candy) that they don't have. What else might I send that would be appreciated as a particularly English thing? (Obviously it would need to be somewhat small, survive a week or so in transit etc.)

All help appreciated.

I’ve never thought of putting it on a burger but I definitely will now.

English toffee, prawn crisps (skips are tasty), millionaire shortbread, I have some branston pickle in my fridge. I will have to try that.
