And What Edibles do you Bring BACK from Turkey..?

[Piscoe]

We bring pomegranate molasses, various spices and spice mixes and chai.

Just returned from Calis and wanted to warn you all that at Stansted Airport it states it is illegal to bring honey into the UK.

[Scunner]

And nearly all the foodstuffs mentioned in this topic

Calisbound, is this the voice of experience? Would you care to share such?


P.S. Sorry I didn't take enough notice of the "it states" bit of your post. I wondered if you had been apprehended and CBFers ought to organize themselves to smuggle into your gaol several jars of "Best Pine-scented" as well as the customary file.

Fruit off our trees, pomegranates, oranges, lemons and figs, once or twice I've brought back potatoes, they are so different to ones we buy in UK.

Finally, we brought back a litre of Kavak white plonk ("Vino Collapso" ) which we didn't consume whilst we were there so just packed it. Useful to test the theory that some alcoholic beverages taste better in the country that they are produced rather than at home.

And...

About to enjoy a cheeky Italian Primitivo with my pizza tonight, so no news, yet, and...

...what honey? (wink)

[Jacqui Harvey]

It's an offence to bring honey into most countries as they are scared of diseases that may affect bees in that country.

I have brought honey back but I was careful not to let any British bees eat it.

You don't have to quote the person above you, honey.

My honey is legal! So are my peppers. Potato smugglers should be hunted down, though, IMO. (wink)
