anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

we are going to a wedding back in the uk in April and obviously want to bring back some goodies like marmalade and Bisto.

i know we can buy it here but at the import shop its soooooo expensive its a luxury.

so has anyone had problems bringing back british stuff ????

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

No - load up girl !

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

But marmelade and Bisto in all its glorious forms are so easily found here at the regular supermarket?

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

I only half jest. On my first trip back I borrowed a suitcase from the MIL - my goodies bag was bursting at the seams :o

Second trip - hardly anything - just Calpol and a couple of bits.

Having said that, I prefer the low salt bisto granules to others. I mean, it's a bundle of chemicals anyway, might as well mitigate the sodium intake!

Nowadays, I'm cured thank you. Not much on the cravings list at all - apart from fresh baby sweetcorn which I still haven't seen anywhere (easily accessible).

i can get Bisto in supermarkets here but NOT the granulated. i buy that at import shop but its $9

i want to bring in Jaffa cakes

ps do i have to declare my bisto on the form

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

I'll send you instant bisto for $5;) Or I'll swap you for Jaffa Cakes....those I havent seen:)

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

I'll raise him on the granules and I'll see you on the jaffa cakes :lol:

PS - are you flying home direct to Edmonton, or is there any way I can hijack your car on the highway up from Calgary ? :rofl:

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

SORRY DIRECT LOL

ANYTHING ELSE ANYONE WANTS ???????

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

Not Bisto Best, which is the only gluten free variety of Bisto.

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

My wife declared that she was bringing in Tesco's instant gravy powder when she returned into Ottawa last May - it was confiscated :(

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

thats my worry

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

Do you know why? I wonder if people think their are meat products in 'Beef Gravy' etc - but there really are not - well, not in Bisto anyway. That stuff's been no-where near an animal, apart from the one's grazing outside the chemical plant where it's made....

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

Some of the Bisto's do have meat extract and thats not allowed, just check the ingredients, any meat at all and its a no go.

Re: anyone had problems bringing in BISTO
 

I thinks its "Bisto Best" thats a real problem as it say "with real meat flavor.
