Strange, they didn't give us any problems last time when we declared our Colman's sauce mixes.

but technically oxo cubes are banned...but depending on where you fly into, they might not know and you'll get them through, but where there's a lot of Brits, like Florida, you'll probably have a less luck...

Anyone know of any such restrictions/rules applying to the US??
Basically anything fresh (meat, fruit, veg) is banned. Most of the 'food to remind you of home' doesn't fall under that description. I didn't know about OXO cubes though.

what did you think the jelly came from?

that's why there's vegetarian jelly as well, because most of it comes from cow and horse hoof....same with many glues.
