We always bring tins of ham, they always divert to be checked, never a problem one lady advised us to buy M&S once. My friend made the mistake of bringing 6 large tins of John West red salmon in his hand luggage, he was pretty miffed when they confiscated them because they had more than 100ml of fluid in the tin.

PS
Corned beef ıs now banned ın Turkey
Don,t know why but they raıded all the pork shops and took ıt away along wıth salad cream

The Pork shops sell lots of tinned stuff,  so this would save you bringing stuff in (apart from Corned Beef).  If you bring that in, you may be an international smuggler.

We used to bring the huge supermarket bricks of cheddar in our hand luggage and always got pulled in security. In the end I asked what it was they saw that caused them to want a look, as they never once confiscated anything. Apparently in scans the blocks of cheese resemble cartons of juice.

I note that a local ex-pat is saying that she buys very good cheddar locally and does not get people to bring it over anymore.

I've noted expats saying that for over a decade and each time they were wrong

Well, I am willing to have a look, buy some and report back..
