I might well have visited our 'made in Gloucester' shop. Or maybe Double Gloucester cheese or Gloucester Old Spot sausages. (both could be a bit smelly in the post though!!) :-)

Edit I forgot Tewkesbury mustard.

Maybe I just am not good or, indeed, practiced, in receiving.

It was a lovely gesture but I would not have been comfortable had I not given something back.

Anyway, I felt it appropriate to send something from here so it was special.

What would you have chosen to send?

Does it have to be representative?.

Also I think maybe the sender wont want you to respond in kind ,their kind gesture was just that and in my opinion they wont want you to go to the expense of reciprocating :-)

As you know, Fred was very kindly and unexpectedly, sent some whisky from Scotland.

As we had done nothing to deserve this, I thought I should send something in return that was special to this area.

The logistics of sending Selsey crab were too much for I so it meant casting around for something else.

Luckily for the recipient I think, Shippams is lo longer specific to Chichester, which does have the advantage that the lingering hum of fish paste no longer hangs around the town when bottling is in full swing and that they did not have to enjoy a parcel of mixed pastes. You can have too much sardine and tomato quite quickly!

About the only thing I could find that was fairly easily despatched and was made locally was Montezuma's chocolate which I have never tried but I hope it does give a good impression.

So, what would you send as representative of your area?
