Hi,

My visit at a mid-west USA research group is finishing this week. I'd like to get a present/foodstuff for everyone. It ranges from shop floor guys to senior researchers.

What'd you get?

Try something quintessentially British. I work a good proportion of my time in the mid-west and something British always goes down well.

What kind of present/ foodstuff? Something that's eaten in an afternoon and people say "wow, that was tasty!" (like cupcakes), or something that's kept and treasured with "oh wow, that'll keep us going for a while"? How many people?

Because the answer ranges from "2 boxes of Krispy Kremes" to "a wheel of parmesan", and lots in between... 😉

As TonyG says though, something that they wouldn't normally get, or something British, could go down a treat

Depends on how Hicksville you are.

Something british should be possible?

i'll have a look for something british then

They've got a tradition of deepfrying everything here, so i could buy some mars bars and fry them.
