Cadbury Flake Special Gestures Egg - 232g

In Britain, Easter Sunday runs on Cadbury eggs. The cupboard fills up for a week beforehand, everyone pretends they are saving theirs, and the Flake egg is the one claimed by the person who likes their chocolate to fall apart in their hands.

From Canada, people go looking for it because it is the one they actually remember: the Cadbury egg they grew up with, made in the UK, with Flake on the front. Easter gets a lot better when the egg on the table is the right egg.

This is a 232g boxed egg, which is a decent size for sharing and a dangerous size for not sharing. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator and the sunny windowsill, and it will sit happily until the big unboxing. It makes a good gift for a grown adult who still quietly expects an egg every year.

Cadbury makes a long list of British favourites, from Dairy Milk to Crunchie, Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs. Plenty of people add a bag of Mini Eggs to the order, for the hunt in the garden, or for themselves.
