Hi guys, dont really know how to phrase this but here we go. I'm from Poland living in the UK for a few years now, and in Poland i feel like there is a large selection of boiled sweets to choose from. My grandad for example always have a small bowl in his living room filled with something, so before he leaves his house he might grab a sweet. Some examples of Polish sweets, Zozole, eucalyptus ones, Wavell has some and then there's the unbranded ones that a fruit flavoured. I sometimes grab a sweet when my mouth is dry or i want some in my pocket at work, but I feel as though the selection here is small or i just dont know where to look. I've wanted to get some sweets just to chuck in my pocket at work. What's the best places to look, maybe the best supermarket. Pls let me know.
