Following Brex$hit you're not meant to take any meat, processed or otherwise, or dairy products from the UK into the EU. We are persona non grata, for obvious reasons. Even going back to Ireland it's supposedly forbidden.
Jaffa cakes?
A Viz annual?

She doesn’t have to take anything – I’d rather a visitor showed me how to cook a new, unfamiliar dish with locally available products than simply throw some ultra-processed, over packaged sh!te at me
She's a 14 year old schoolkid not Gordon bloody Ramsey! She can cook a few basic items but not much more. In any case, it's tradition to bring a small gift when visiting people's houses in Germany. When the exchange student came here she gave us chocolates, for which we were grateful because it's a nice gesture and we're not snobs.

When I visit my daughter and ex wife I usually get asked for Robinsons orange squash, Bisto Gravy and cheap paracetamol from Tesco. I used to have to bring biscuit selection boxes, Frey Bentos pies and Walkers crisps. I think apart from Frey Bentos the biscuit and crisp selection has improved from paprika or peanut flavour... I do like the peanut flavour though.
