Also Kimberley biscuits. Which are occasionally available overseas - the Irish shop in Covent Garden sells them, and when I visited my sister in Boston, she showed me where she could buy them in her local supermarket - in the International Cuisine section.

But you forgot the big one:
Cheese and Onion Tayto.
I know of people who have been offered *huge* sums of money in the Arrivals lounge at Heathrow Airport because they've been seen with a box of Tayto. I believe the factory even does mail order so you can send a box abroad for Christmas.
With you on the Kimberley's. A friend of mine from Dublin found an Irish shop in Kilburn (funnily enough) that was stocking them. When he asked another friend of mine just how many she wanted she said, "Just enough so I can't get through the door of my flat, that'll be fine." 
Club Orange and Club Lemon too.
If you're coming to mine, a box of Gold Label Barry's tea wouldn't go amiss either
