Hey, i like the sound of that and in 'traditional' form it has no dairy in it apparently. But I found see it being very very sweet, rather like sticky toffee pudding and needing goodly amount of cream as an accompaniment.
Yes, it’s extremely sweet!
I would love that package but considering your situation it's not very thoughtful at all. Is your husband not vegan then?My husband's work have sent him a hamper...

It is all chocolate and wine!
There's not a single thing I can eat or drink. (Apart from not drinking wine, that particular one isn't vegetarian friendly let alone vegan friendly and is refined using the very protein I'm highly allergic to (casein, the main milk protein) and have 'responded' to it in the past).
Now you know why my diet has been so successful, lol.

He's vegetarian minus dairy but dairy causes him to snore badly (dairy causes mucus build-up/increases it's production in most people k little known fact but it's true). Most live with the symptoms without even knowing or just putting up with 'bad sinuses'. Since we have had to omit all dairy from our diet, on the rare occasions he consumes dairy, his snoring, and general stuffiness & sinus issues increase badly).
There's not really anything locally at all and most won't travel 65km to swap something. We haven't even been able to give away a $690 3 seater sofa, $290 single seater chair and a foot stool of about $190, all with 2 separate, unmarked & freshly laundered covers for all 3.
You know, before I even scrolled past the picture, I thought, “She can’t eat any of that! What are you thinking?!”
Yeah it's really thoughtless, but seems to be quite common. I've been invited to dinner several times at my husbands office, and all they ever offer is a choice of meat or fish. Vegetarian isn't even considered. Let alone allergies or other dietary complications. I rarely accept such offers because my condition of not being able to eat all vegetables, but some cooked certain ways is even less understood because being without a colon is even rarer than most allergies.You know, before I even scrolled past the picture, I thought, “She can’t eat any of that!

I imagine you’re somewhat used to that, though, sadly. Maybe treat yourself to a nice SatNav-friendly lunch the next time you’re in town. Not the same as getting a big basket of goodies from someone else, though.
It does remind me of the time, back around 1996 or so, where our employer sprang for a pizza party. Back then, having coworkers from India on-site was a bit of a novelty, so when they ordered in pizza…yup, every last one was covered in meat. They didn’t even consider that anyone would be vegetarian.
Yeah, I suffer through bad sinuses full and well knowing the issue, but not giving up dairy. I'd rather suffer (since I am not going into anaphylactic shock over it). I'd rethink it if it landed me in hospital.
Several of my "family", as in my husband's sister in law and his mother both drink goats milk now which they found considerably better for them, easing their issues. They used to think I was "making it up" and just trying to be awkward until they came to stay with us many years ago. At the time, I was able to consume goats and sheep milk products and goats milk goats butter, goats cream, goats yoghurt and goats & sheep's cheese was easily available in the UK even back them. They put up with the goats milk etc because that was all I served. Then they went home after a week and went back to cows milk products.... It didn't take long for them to move completely over to goats milk permanently. I moved over to goats milk back in 1994. And we moved to the house concerned back in 1998, so they've been on it for about 2 decades.
Yes, I know not to consume dairy when sick with respiratory illness. I don't drink milk or use it with cereal. I love cheese and butter, however. I do like goat cheese and use it regularly. I wouldn't know where to find goat's milk but since I don't use milk it's unnecessary.
