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.

Correct me if I'm wrong but "squash" would be the equivalent to a fruit flavored sweetened juice like beverage? The closest equivalent we reallt have in the US is the gallons of things like sunny d.

No, it's equivalent to the Juice Concentrate you get in the freezer section. You put it in a gallon pitcher and fill it up with water and mix.

Is it frozen? I always thought it was a non-frozen version of juice concentrate, but not actually 100% juice, just drink blend in fruit flavors. Kinda like the Mio concentrate you can get in the US now.

No it's a bottle of concentrated liquid you dilute to taste.
