Hedgehog flavoured crisps are (or rather were) another real British
foodstuff.

As I said, they weren't really hedgehog flavoured (at least I hope not!) but
just beef-flavoured.
They were marketed to raise money for a charity that runs a hospital for
hedgehogs and other wildlife, it's called St Tiggywinkle's.
You can find them at http://www.sttiggywinkles.org.uk/ if you think I'm
making this up.
(In case you're wondering, crisps are known as 'chips' in the USA.)

As this is getting off-topic, it may be best to discuss it in the OT-Chatter
group (which I daren't join yet as I can barely cope with this list).
