Hey Guys anyone know if you can take Pot Noodles into canada in your luggage.

Before you ask no i'm not that sad

my canadian step son fell in love with them last time he was in the UK and we were going to take him some.

I know i know it sounds like "i've got a friend who....." but this is the truth guys

woofwoof

Whats all this "I'm not that sad"..I love them Dont know the answer to your question..suppose it depends on what customs classify them as They may think there dried worms

steved61

Dried worms......Hmmmmm tasty LOL

Biiiiink

Strict veggie friends of mine used to eat the Beef flavoured one, so there's definitely no meat in it. I don't see why it would be a problem? They didn't discover my haggis (which isn't allowed afaik) so I'd be hopeful of a non-meat noodle thingy.

I brought home a case of Sweet and Sour last time and I was fine. I don't really think it matters for prepared foods, and I'm pretty sure the "meat" in them is textured soy protein.

Edit: Hey here's a reverse question! Can I bring my English brother in law Bovril with actual cow content back from Canada?

Thanks for the reply guys just a bit worried as i will be "landing" on the 8th, didn't really want to create an enviromental health emergency on my 1st day as a perm. resident.

With regards to the marmite, they really don't give a fig over here unless you are un lucky enough to be searched which is very very unlikely

Ooooohhh the embarrassment of being caught with loads of pot noodles (legal or not) would be enough for me

Damn, you've just reminded me of what I really wanted my friends to bring over... I totally forgot it was Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodles...

Ah well, it'll have to wait until the next visit....

steved61

Well we arrive at toronto abot 2.30 on thursday 8th so if you meet us at the airport we will pass a stash of chicken and mushroom to you, just to keep the addiction at bay. Make sure you have the carnation in your lapel and the big sign saying POT NOODLE

lol

Wait a minute.....NO POT NOODLES IN CANADA???? They are my staple diet!

What else don't they have?

Why don't they tell us these things when we apply!!!

Pretty Flowers

Walkers Crisps, Monster Munch and Frazzles...

I usually satisfy my craving for all of the above when I go home for a visit. Ack, now I'm really wanting a pot noodle...

Steve_P

Aren't these things just the same as Sapporo Ichiban, or Cup o' Noodles etc.

Nooo they are much much better. It's like crack in a cup. I can find walkers and etc. in specialty markets out here, but nobody has the damn Pot Noodles.

kate white
