The pretty box.
Celebrations. You choose what to put in your box, like the old Pick n Mix at Woolworth's.
We cut open the orange one to share it. Strong flavours. strong colours. Dark orange curled around white soft nougat. Not just boring plain jelly.
The pink one was strong and totally different, with a nut in the middle.The strong jellly overwhelmed the nut flavour.
The strong fruit flavour made everything else taste stronger, too. We had black grapes afterwards. The sugar left in my mouth from the sweet enhanced the flavour of the grapes.
Also look for peera, an Indian fudge made from home made evaporated milk, boiled slowly to reduce and thicken it, added sugar and cinnamon for flavouring. Popular for Diwali, weddings and to celebrate the birth of children.
Also in this area, several Indian restaurants and curry houses, a French restaurant, Whitechapel art gallery which has a shop and restaurant, the old Synagogue where Disraeli's father attended until he fell out with the others and converted from Judaism to Christianity, which enabled his son Benjamin to became Prime Minister and Queen Victoria's favourite.

My family tried that, too, a few steps away.

I would describe the East End of London, the West End of London, the whole of London, as English delight.
