Our Classic British Gift Basket represents many of this island's wonderfully unique culinary customs. Included are the following goodies:

Clotted Cream: A favorite treat, typically spooned atop freshly baked scones, but also delicious over fresh fruit. (6 oz.)
British Strawberry Preserves by Duerrs: Very traditional, from Manchester dating back to 1872. (16 oz.)
Mark T. Wendell Fine English Tea - English Breakfast: Perfect for that afternoon tea break. (2 oz.)
Highland Pride Scottish Cheddar: Typically Scottish in character, this Cheddar is golden yellow with a closed texture that makes it easy to slice. After 9 months of aging, it has developed an irresistible, nutty flavor and a mellow finish. (8 oz.)
Blue Stilton: The King of English cheeses. This bold blue is perfect after dinner with a duo of port and pears. (8 oz.)
Cheshire: England's oldest-known cheese, it is reddish-orange in color and has a slightly tangy flavor. (8 oz.)
Caerphilly: Caerphilly is an original Welsh cheese that is quite similar to English Wensleydale. Caerphilly differentiates itself by having a higher moisture content, giving it a more buttery, less crumbly personality (8 oz.)
Artisan Butter Sultana Biscuits : Buttery cookies that cry out to be enjoyed with hot tea. (5.3 oz.)
Miller's Damsels Crackers: Traditional crunchy crackers from Derbyshire, England. (3.5 oz.)

This basket contains all of the components needed to bring home a taste of the United Kingdom.

Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

I sent this to my parents for their anniversary. While they enjoyed the items, the value for money was poor. I don't think I'll be buying from igourmet again.

We opened this right away for Christmas at my sister's house for appetizers, and it was a big hit with my Anglo-phile relatives. Something for every taste, and it was a great departure from the usual Christmas basket of goodies.
