It was a chicken sandwich.
So what else should I get them to bring other than teabags and Chrimbo pudding? I'm cutting down on my chocolate intake. Oh, holy moly. Twiglets.
Twiglets for the win. Thanks.

The wife recently paid 6 bucks for a bag of Twiglets as she really couldn't wait... :scared:

A friend of mine was travelling from London to the US and she got caught out by the beagles in the Detroit airport. She put a banana in her hand luggage for breaky and forgot all about it! The dogs sniffed it out and she had to hand it over. She was the centre of attention in arrivals-hilarious.

I make my own christmas puddings, but last week my husband came back from the UK and suitcase was searched thoroughly. He had mince pies no problem only thing they asked if he had any OXO cubes, which thankfully we didn't.
So if you buy a Christmas pudding with the ingredients on it and if it's made with vegetable suet and not beef suet it should be OK.

I believe the Oxo problem is 'cos of mad cow disease. I've brought loads of them in before I knew about this ban...I have never been asked if I have Oxo's or anything else.

Why would they be worrying about OXO cubes when I'm sure that they have plenty of mad cows themselves.
