Clotted Cream shortbread, V&A Museum

This 200g tub of shortbread biscuits are gorgeous!!  They're available in the V&A Museum main ground floor gift shop affordably priced at £3.50 a tub, and also on the V&A website here


The tub design is a textile design by C F A Voysey (1857 - 1941)

Fortnum & Mason's Kings Blend coffee

This coffee is my favourite of the Fortnums coffee range.  It comes in a 250g tin with a fancy red scalloped design and is made using Arabica mild beans from South America & Kenya and an Indian Monsooned Malabar bean.  It produces a full bodied flavour.

The coffee is available instore at the Fortnums shop on Piccadilly & St Pancras station (probably in airport duty frees too) and also from their website here for £12.50.  Pricey, but well worth the money!

Maille Dijon mustard with honey

This Honey mustard comes in 230g jars costing £5.30 from the Maille website here although it is also available cheaper at Sainsburys here and Waitrose here.  Also available through the Maille store on Piccadilly, London

It's a medium heat strength mustard and (obviously!) sweet so not the mustard for most recipes although the recommendation is for use in salad dressings/cheese recipes.
I have other preferences within the Maille mustard range, but this is a good one to try!

Orange Crunch biscuits, V&A Museum

This 200g tub of biscuits (cookies) are available at the Victoria and Albert Museum main ground floor gift shop, priced at £3.50.  They taste spectacular - very orangey!! Well worth getting for a not terribly expensive treat!


Also available online at the V&A website shop although currently sold out.

Fortnum & Mason Lime Curd

Now, THIS is worth buying!!!  If you like lemon curd, this lime curd has a tangier flavour - image shows the 185g jar but now, only comes in a 315g jar from the Fortnums website here for £4.95 a jar.  This is completely splendiferous and SOOO worth the money!!  You won't regret tasting this stuff!!!

Maille Oignon Grille et Serpolet mustard

This grilled onion, wild thyme and white wine mustard from Maille comes in small 108g jars from their London store on Piccadilly (in between Fortnums and The Ritz)

List of ingredients on the rear label will tell you what's in it, and it's a very interesting and tasty mustard - has the original heat of Dijon mustard too.  Costs £5.80 so pricey, but you pay for the taste!!  (worth the money!)

Can be purchased here Maille Mustard for £5.80 per 108g jar and also available through other websites such as Ocado and mysupermarket.
Good taste, and worth spending on a gourmet treat once in a while!!
