Lamiri harissa

If you stumbled upon Lamiri’s Instagram account, you’d be forgiven for assuming it was the internet face of a particularly sought-after streetwear brand. Instead, founder Sam has collaborated with his Tunisian relatives to jar their family harissa recipe – and foodies are obsessed, thanks to its spicy, garlicky, carraway and cumin-spiked mixture. “It’s our bestselling product,” says Moylan. “When customers try it, I always assumed they’re going to come and buy another jar in not very long. You know when you buy a jar of harissa and it sits at the back of the fridge, unused, for ages? That isn’t Lamiri: you’ll definitely finish the jar once you start it because it’s so delicious.”

Lakrids by Bülow passionfruit chocolate-coated liquorice

“Earlier this year, my pastry chef friend from Denmark visited and brought me a tub of these flavoured chocolate liquorice balls,” says Lamb. “As a lifelong liquorice sceptic, I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to enjoy them, but my life changed after I tried one. I think they’re going to be big: there are a lot of people out there who think they don’t like liquorice and, like me, are going to have their brains melted [in a good way] once they try these.” The seabuckthorn and passionfruit flavours are Lamb’s favourite, so choose those if you’re not sure where to start – and prepare for a much more satisfying, chewy texture than a typical chocolate truffle.

Mama Yu’s chilli oil

Like a cult fashion collaboration, this sought-after Malaysian-style chilli oil is released in drops that sell out almost immediately. The jars look unsuspecting – just a handwritten label indicating the flavour (you can choose original, garlic, black bean, crispy shallot, peanut and sambal), but the content is what fans are (virtually) queuing for. Made by a mother and daughter duo with a background in takeaways and restaurants, it’s an undeniable flavour bomb. “The fact that the batches sell out fast only adds to the excitement of getting hold of a jar and the prestige of the meals you eat it with,” says Wyburd. Lamb agrees: “I try and get one of every flavour.”
