Don't fill the camper's fridge and larder before heading to Europe.

Yep - most countries have a ban on importing meat etc . When we went to NYC 20 years ago one of our party was stopped when a sniffer dog picked him out of the queue. We thought it had smelled drugs - but no it was ham butties in his back pack.

 

Its probably for the best. After all we let the Foot and Mouth disease out of the biological research lab in Surrey a few years back .

I can still remember going to France when all those rules applied pre EU, but the Duty Free was EPIC! which was the compensation . Booze cruises with trolleys laden with fags and beer.

You were also limited to something like £50 cash, the rest had to be Travellers Cheques.

 

French fries, ?

 

What would happen if you ate the ham sandwich before crossing the border and then threw up when you were in Holland?
Would they confiscate the sick?

 

Oooooh I couldn't have been the only 14 year old boy with an unhealthy interest in a certain section of mums Kay's catalogue, could I? C'mon please don't leave me hanging, own up.

 

Confiscated ham sarnies,,,,, we were warned of this post Brexit apocalypse!!!!

 

Pfffft, I bet.

 

I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to

 

Just think, we get to do all that again, only we're not 18 anymore....

 

I don't think it was unhealthy at all.
Freemans catalogue for the win!!

 

Phwoor! Not arf, as soon as the new one came through the door, there I was, frantically thumbing through the tools section

 

My daughter informs me that you now can't dairy or meat into Switzerland and they have never been in Europe but the law changed when we left euro fun land .

 

Its basically all animal products, including gelatine in sweets etc, milk and meat and some veg and plants. It applies to the whole EU.

 

To be fair I'd rather take an empty fridge and fill it up at the local supermarche than fill it full of the usual Sainsbury's tosh ..
As for becoming increasingly isolated within the European community , if you think they were being awkward before with regulatory bananas etc just give it a year or two until the Euro politicians get their teeth into Brexit and punish the UK for being the naughty boy ....

exactly why take cheese to France never understood that? Give it time and they will forget, is the picnic hamper raid happening in all countries or just the Netherlands?
