Which Traditional British Sweets Do You Need To Try?
Few people would dispute the fact that Britain creates some of the finest sweets in the world. In the UK, there is much demand for confectionery, as the population as a whole has quite a sweet tooth. That being said, there is an on-going dispute regarding which type of sweet reigns supreme. Here at British Essentials, we have created a collection of some of the most popular - below, you can find our selection of those which you need to try.
Liquorice Allsorts
This is certainly not a product that you will want to buy if you have sensitive taste buds - from the moment that you open the bag, the aroma which wafts up will give you an indication as to how strong Liquorice Allsorts are. In terms of flavour, these sweets are incredibly reminiscent of aniseed. Each mouthful that you have will pack a punch. That being said, if you appreciate sweets that leave a lingering sensation on your tongue, this could be a shrewd addition to your confectionery collection.
Tangfastics
In sweet terms, Haribo is easily one of the most identifiable and well-known brands within the industry. You would be hard-pressed to find someone that, at the very least, hasn’t heard of their Starmix packets. However, we believe that if you have your heart set upon broadening your horizons, it is Tangfastics that you need to try. As the name suggests, these sweets are incredibly sour, and have an intense flavour that will leave you reaching for the packet once again.
Fruit-tella
If you have young children, the chances are that you will not want them to continuously be snacking on sweets which rot their teeth, and are not particularly healthy. However, we understand that you will also not want to deprive them of the deliciousness that these types of foods possess. In situations such as these, it could be that Fruit-tella provide just the right blend. The natural fruit juice which is used in these is meant to reduce the damage that they do, whilst still retaining the bursts of flavour which are released when you bite into them.
Fruit Pastilles
Most people would agree that, out of the various sweets which can be found in the UK, Fruit Pastilles are the most-deserving of their iconic status. Incredibly distinctive in appearance, the colours offer an indication as to the fruity flavour which you are about to enjoy. Whilst by no-means the healthiest snack in the world, thanks to the amount of sugar that can be found in the coating, on the odd occasion these little morsels can provide just the pick-me-up that you have been looking for.
