So for my first real post about the wonders of British food,
I chose the first thing I fell in love with when I first discovered Jolly Grub
– and that would be Simpkins Travel Sweets, with my favorites being the mixed
citrus and mixed fruit flavors. These hard candy drops are made with all
natural ingredients, colors, and flavors by the “original method of slow cooking in
copper pans, ensuring the finest taste and texture possible” – and boy does it
really show! The first time I tried the lime flavored candy I was hooked, as it
didn’t have an over-sweetness to it, rather the perfect amount of sour lime
flavor to keep you coming back for more – and I did get more!
What I
really like about these sweets and the Simpkin brand in general is that they
are a family company, owned by the Simpkin name since 1921. They even still
have people to actually put the candies in the tins! Talk about a commitment to
quality, even the tins have their own unique designs depending on the flavor,
right now my mixed citrus tin has an amazing illustration of Big Ben on the
front, while my mixed fruit tin has one of a cricket batter. I personally like
it because I feel that these tins would be perfect on a coffee table or in your
car’s glove box, and the branding and designs are classy enough that the Queen
herself would be delighted to see them!
If you want
to try these for yourself (I highly recommend them to those with a sweet tooth)
you can find them here.
And don’t forget you can find JollyGrub on Facebook as well – where you can participate in contests for money off
on your next order and stay up to date with the happenings in Greenland!
