Tea is rubbish abroad
Yorkshire here, PG if I have to, and for special occasions loose leaf from the Brew tea co.
Bit of a fussy bugha, ey?
Only joking. I like a good tea. Yorkshire is nice, we drink that at ours.
Don't really like builder's tea - PG or Tetleys.
I drink a lot of Red Bush (Rooibos) tea these days.
Other than that I occasionally drink Earl Grey (which was created to be brewed using water on the Northumberland estate of the actual Earl Grey) and Oolong.

A nice little earner there.
Cheese and Pork Pies smuggled out and a couple of illegal immigrants on the return journey.
What's not to like?
You forgot other English delicacies like Spam and Potted Meat Jim.

Personal imports
Personal goods containing meat, milk or their products brought into the EU continue to present a real threat to animal health throughout the Union.ec.europa.eu
Current rules say that this is correct. Unless new guidelines are issued, I guess this will be applied. Won't be bringing sausages and cheddar with me to Portugal in future of this continues.
plenty of good stuff at the British food store just outside of Albufeira, resonably priced....€1 for 9 Warburtons crumpets, loads of sausages & cheddar,
sadly no Scotch pies or square sausage.

You can still buy all foods mentioned in this thread, in most supermarkets in France.
The food import restrictions have always been in place for products coming into the EU from non EU countries, now, it applies to the UK since it has properly left the EU now.
But, we can still buy Yorkshire Tea, Cheddar Cheese, Marmite, marmalade, sliced white bread, bacon, sausages etc. here. We do.
But, because they are not mainstream items, some of them may cost a little more.

Tea mostly comes from China & India, so I think we might be OK on that one, Mark
Oh no it doesn`t, it`s readily available in Tesco, Leyland and they have loads of it

we drink rooibos tea without milk or sugar, we got hooked on it in South Africa and when we first came home it was not easy to find here, naturally caffeine free as well so better for you
I do like a red bush

I'm not a massive tea drinker Graham but when I do it has to be good.
I'll get some of that though because Julie suffers from acid reflux as well.

Thanks Terry.
I go to Stotfold quite a lot on the bike and it's where I will be doing my test (when allowed).
I will pick some up.
