Two of my friends are moving to France next year as they're studying it as part of their degree courses. Before they go we're having a party and I was going to give them a few presents, and was wondering if there are any types of food or drink that I could stick in there? Neither of them drink tea though (which is very inconsiderate of them, since that would have been more obvious)
I'm living in France at the moment, and the things I miss most are baked beans, hovis white bread, haribo tangfastics, robinsons squash/ribena...there are more but I can't think of them at the moment! I'll add more as the come to me!

My aunt lives in France and there are a couple of foods she has us always bring to her.. they are marmite (which imo is gross but each to their own) and ambrosia custard powder. You can't get custard in france!
Depends where they are going but there are English food stores in parts of France and they won't be missing much as there are the French equivalents (which are better ) also they can go to British Corner where they can purchase what they want online
They should man up and eat whatever is available. They'll realise soon enough what they can't access, and then you could send them a parcel full of whatever they crave. I've been making my friends' parents bring Creme Eggs to Russia . But France definitely has enough to make up for it, although we're definitely not as good regarding junk food (except sweets, biscuits and chocolate, I'm sorry but I still find better stuff back home). I suggest they make sure to take crisps with them, as well as chocolate bars. And if somehow they don't like Lindt or Milka, they should probably take a bit of Cadbury.

We definitely have baked beans in France, I see them every time I go to my local supermarket! And Haribo, seriously? We have quadruple the choice you have in England regarding sweets, and you haven't found anything better than Tangfastics? You need to try harder . About squash, we have sirop, which admittedly isn't quite the same, but if you get the right flavour, it's equally nice.
Fairy nuff, I've always been told by French teachers that it's illegal
It used to be, because there was a component not allowed by French food laws or whatever, but they modified the recipe and it's now sold in France. It taste exactly the same.
