Ok, I've been watching way too many videos on Your Tube recently of people opening food swaps they've received from other countries. It was weird seeing someone open British food and get excited, but it got me thinking...

Would anyone be interested in exchanging food samples to try?

Here are the rules:

  • You will have one partner

  • Send between 7-10 items (a variety)

  • Check Best before dates

  • Pack substantially enough to minimise breakages.

  • Check your partner's comments below re: allergies/ intolerances.

  • Everything must be sealed in its original packaging.

  • Try to choose at least a couple of local food stuff

The size of the package is up to you. It will depend on the items you purchase.

Here are few examples of what to send:

Coffee

Tea (Box not sachet)

Sweets/ candy

Savoury snacks

Pasta

Noodles

Marmite (Local to UK)

Please remember to check your country and the country in which your parcel is being sent's shipping requirements. Certain foods may be restricted in some countries.

This is a sender's choice, but please observe special dietary requirements when possible. e.g. no salami to a vegetarian. No rye bread to a coeliac etc etc

The total cost will depend on the country in which you live. Food is different prices around the world. As a guide, I'll be spending approx. £10 on all the items, excluding postage.

Please remember to write in the comments box below any allergies you have.

Since this is a big swap, only rated swappers allowed please.
