Ok, my ancestry is not British, but I am a WW member and with the Duchess of York being a Brit and our spokesperson and all, doesn't that make us relations, like 2nd cousins?
In any case we do love our Duchess.
I couldn't wait until tomorrow to share the cornucopia of WW foods, Jessica, a member in my Monday night class brought back for me!
There were two types of cookies (or "biscuits" as they refer to them) as well as little herb infused crackers. The chocolate cookies were alright. The crackers and cranberry orange biscuits were lovely! I can totally picture a perfectly on program WW tea time! (tea white with skim milk of course ;) ) Shall I be "Mum?"
The baked beans are interesting. Jessica mentioned the Brits love to have beans on toast. Who knew?
The canned pasta meals appear a little dodgy to me. I may keep them for novelty sake; however, at some point I just may have to break down and try them.
There was also a sliced fruited malt loaf that needed to be frozen right away since it was set to expire. I took a nibble and it didn't taste like anything. I don't know what it was supposed to taste like. It must be a British thing. Anyone care to explain?
PS -- Hubster wants to know if we can order the Cranberry Orange cookies online. I am all about the herby biscuits myself. Those would be fab with some laughing cow light.

The herb "biscuits" are to DIE FOR!! I brought three boxes back from England last year.
When I was on my 90- mile hike in the English counryside, those canned pasta meals were fabulous... they could be eaten straight from the can! I still have a "souvenir" one in my cabinet!
They also sell fresh WWer sandwiches as most major supermarkets, and its nice to have the points values right on 'em.
Anyway, they don't have it in the UK, but I'm still jonesing for the WWers Rye Bread which is available in the good ol' USA, except only on the EAST coast, dammit!
