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 ????

ann m

No - load up girl !

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

ann m

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

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

iaink

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

ann m

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

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

beeginger

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

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

beeginger

thats my worry

ann m

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....

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.

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