Candy Dukes is our online British grocery store offering food products from the United Kingdom. The idea is to offer products from across the Channel to English expats and travellers who have experienced them in England, as well as to anyone curious to discover this culture. If you're not already aware, in England we find products that are very different from those we have at home. Of course, you can find some products in stores that we also have here. But most of the time, these are British specialties that are impossible to find in France! For example, Marmite spread, HP Sauce, malt vinegar, or chutney. And of course, you can find them all on our online British grocery store by clicking right here .
Of the 200+ products we carry in our English grocery store, you can imagine that not all of them are bestsellers in the UK. They are all more or less appreciated and recognised by the English. But among them, there are bound to be some real favourites! These are often the ones that come to mind first when talking about English food products. So, we've put together a "top" list of all these best products for you. Don't hesitate to comment or send us a message if you'd like more information about a product or if you have any products to suggest.
CADBURY
Cadbury chocolate is the English's favourite! You only need to taste a small piece to understand why. The French often compare it to Milka chocolate. But despite some similarities, they are truly very different. Cadbury is particularly known for its Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bars. Plain, Daim, Oreo, Fruit & Nut, Crunchie, Medley, Bubbly… they have dozens (hundreds?) of absolutely fantastic flavours! But the brand has also developed a host of other chocolate products… such as the Honeycomb Crunchie bars (one of our shop's bestsellers, by the way). And to top it all off, the brand has even received a Royal Warrant! They are therefore among the official suppliers to the Royal Family.

MARMITE
If there's one product that divides opinions, it's Marmite ! It's a staple when talking about British food products. This yeast-based spread, created in 1902, is indeed a huge hit in the UK! At least with a segment of the population… Because Marmite has a VERY distinctive taste. So much so, that the brand launched a slogan: " Love it or hate it." The brand plays heavily on this fact with a great deal of humour in its advertisements . And you, are you more of a hater or a lover?

HP Sauce
HP Brown Sauce is the most popular sauce in the UK! You'll find it absolutely everywhere, from the smallest English grocery store to the biggest supermarket. This sweet and sour vinegar-based sauce is a favourite for seasoning dishes like fish and chips or a full English breakfast. It also comes in different varieties, such as fruity and even barbecue. We're big fans of the BBQ version, but some people swear by the classic!

TWININGS
Even in France, it's impossible to have missed the Twinings name. The tea aisle of French supermarkets does indeed carry a few varieties. But it's nothing compared to the UK, where dozens of different flavours are available. Forget classic tastes, hello originality! They even have a shop in London (opened over 300 years ago!) where you can find their entire range, from tea bags to loose-leaf teas (and even coffee and hot chocolate!). This brand is probably one of the most famous in the UK, and even the world. Which is hardly surprising when you consider that Twinings has been offering its delicious teas since 1706! Quite a history!

The Colman’s brand is very well-known in the UK for its mustard with its bright yellow packaging. But that's not all! They also offer mint sauce, a very popular ingredient in British cuisine. The brand also offers various other products such as cranberry sauce, spices for typical dishes, and many other traditional British sauces that you can find in our English grocery section.

WALKERS SHORTBREAD
Shortbreads are Scottish biscuits. They are traditionally made with just three ingredients: sugar, butter, and flour. These biscuits are very popular in Britain, especially at teatime. We've also adopted this habit a bit… It's hard to resist delicious little biscuits with your tea. The Walkers Shortbread brand often comes up. They offer all-butter shortbreads that are very popular in the UK. They also have a range of crackers that are absolutely delicious with Marmite and cheddar cheese!
