[EN] Among the things which are the tastier in the UK, I already recommended (full-heartedly!!!) trying some biscuits/cookies. [RO] Între chestiile cele mai gustoase din UK, am recomandat deja (din toată inima!!!) încercarea unor biscuiţi/prăjiturele.
[EN] I guess these are some of my all-time favourite food products, which I first discovered in American TV-series (where children were mad about them), then I tasted them in America, and ultimately fell in love with them in the UK. [RO] Cred că acestea sunt unele dintre alimentele mele preferate, pe care le-am descoperit iniţial în serialele TV americane (unde copiii erau înnebuniţi după ele), apoi le-am gustat în America şi, în final, m-am îndrăgostit de ele în UK.
[EN] And if I were to give a brand, Millie’s Cookies would be the first to mention, not only thanks to their availability, but also because they really taste better than many home-made sweets that I ever tried, let alone other ‘industrial biscuits’. [RO] Şi dacă ar fi să numesc o marcă, Millie’s Cookies ar fi prima de menţiomat, nu numai datorită disponibilităţii lor, dar şi pentru că sunt într-adevăr mai gustoasse decât multe dulciuri de casă gustate, să nu mai zic de alţi ‘biscuiţi industriali’.
[EN] These Millie’s Cookies can be found anywhere in the UK: most train/tube stations, big shopping centers, markets… [RO] Aceste Millie’s Cookies pot fi găsite oriunde în UK: cele mai multe staţii de tren/metrou, mari centre comerciale, pieţe…
[EN] Daily baked, with an appealing marketing strategy (the more you buy, the less you pay per piece)… I really like them. [RO] Coapte zilnic, cu o strategie de marketing atrăgătoare (cu cât cumperi mai multe, cu atât mai puţin plăteşti pentru bucată)… chiar mi-au plăcut.
[EN] So, anyone willing to make me a surprise when coming from the UK, a box of Millie’s Cookies would make a great idea, especially since I’m not fond of useless souvenirs :-) [RO] Aşadar, oricine vrea să-mi facă o surpriză când se întoace din UK, o cutie de Millie’s Cookies ar fi o idee grozavă, mai ales de vreme ce nu-s iubitor de suveniruri inutile :-)
[EN] I don’t have any illusions about these cookies being healthier than other food products – I suppose there’s a lot of ‘standardization’ in obtaining the ingredients and the cooking ‘procedures’. [RO] N-am nicio iluzie că aceste prăjiturele ar fi mai sănătoase decât alte produse alimentare – presupun că este multă ‘standardizare’ în obţinerea ingredientelor şi ‘procedurile’ de gătit.
[EN] However, in my view, they are both 1) very tasty + 2) really able to appease one’s hunger. [RO] Totuşi, în opinia mea, sunt deopotrivă: 1) foarte gustoase + 2) chiar capabile să potolească foamea.

Finally, I'm delighted to have a 'fan' of cookies (like I am :-) on my blog!!!
They are something I adored about the UK, and I hope to taste again every time I get back there.
I have no particularly favourite one, as long as I liked them all.

What I didn't like that much were muffins :-( Too much bread-like :-(
They were very similar to their French 'sisters' - madeleines - and I clearly didn't like those:

it was interesting to eat a muffin backed with pork meat. interesting taste.

Alright, good for you that you like to subject your taste buds to different experiments!
Generally, I don't say 'no' to trying something new, however, it is very likely that my 'food prejudice' remains unchanged.
I usually don't mix what is supposed to be ' proper food' (meat, fish, vegetables, cheese + all salty & sour things) with what is supposed to be an ingredient of 'dessert' (fruits, chocolate + anything sweet).
:-)
