I personally like brown pub-type pickled onions. You can buy
them here but they tend to cost an arm and a leg. However, the
weight might make them a little impractical. Apart again from
the weight, a English wine or two might be interesting. I'm told
they can be quite good these days tho' I have no personal
experience.

Apart from the clotted cream, I've seen all of your choices at
an import place here, Rodman's in Rockville, but they cost quite
a bit. However, it's been a while since I looked at food prices
in Britain. The last time I was there, the numbers on restaurant
items were similar to those in Washington but they were talking
about pounds and alcohol taxes seem fierce!
