Tea
Potato Chips (aka crisps) - just because they have so many more
flavors than we do.

Everything else that's been mentioned, I can purchase from my regular
supermarket in California. McVities, wine gums, spotted dick (makes
an excellent Christmas present for someone with a sense of humor),
Heinz baked beans, marmite, XO sauce, worcestshire sauce, imported
cheese, etc. So I'm not sure how special they are.

If you could bring back a London curry......
