The gravy granules will get you in the shit. My mum declared hers coming into Halifax last year, and they were confiscated - meat product. She is probably now on the no-fly list ;)
If you don't declare, the beagle will probably get you :eek:

Ah yes, when I arrived back last November I had Bisto Best gravy granules and Oxo cubes confiscated (I did volunteer that I had them though, so no rapped knuckles or fines!) Fortunately for me, my dad was not so honest when he came to visit and managed to sneak some through for me...;)
A local independent supermarket here in NL has recently started stocking a small range of British goods. That includes several different shades of gravy granules. If the demand is there I could start supplying these by mail order from within Canada. At 150% mark up of course.;) |

Edited to add: I'd bring back Cadbury Buttons. Giant ones. And a suitcase full of Primark clothes. |

Re: Things you bring back from the UK when on holiday?
Things we brought back on our recent trip back:
Clothes. Both for myself, the Mrs and the toddler. Shoes. Ditto. Colemans Sausage Casserole mix. Chocolate. (Obviously) Wilkins Tiptree Marmalade. Books. that's about it. After 6 years we've learned to live with the local alternatives or have found sources for the things we miss. Of all the things we buy in the UK, cheaper, decent footwear seems to be the biggest thing. |
