EU say favourite UK food cannot enter EU if no deal

I'll continue smuggling Yorkshire Teabags in. They are a form of currency, down here.
Why bother bringing watery bacon and flabby sausages in ?
We slice the Presunto ham up and fry that as bacon butty filler..8 Euros a kilo. Excellent chipolata sausages, no fat, eyelashes or arseholes in them
The rest..?.... Pfft !
 
Food to go, or not?

I for one would be hugely annoyed if they hold us to ransom, I'd miss my wives pies and puddings, we always take, bacon and egg and corned beef pies wherever we go.
It's just another way the EU are trying to put us off ******, they won't win with me.

The number of Brits taking food abroad is statistically insignificant as to have any influence whatsoever.
 
Apart from a few tins of emergancy stuff, I only take away tea bags. Love shopping when away, it's all part of the holliday.
I do bring stuff back, usually about 10KG of garlic and Saucisson. :)
 
Remember the foot & mouth crisis? We went on a booze trip to France for the day & kept Schtum about our ham rolls.
 
So long as we can take a 3 months supply of Mrs Pataks curry paste and pickles...and of course Yorkshire tea we will be happy!
 
It's ironic that so much that we think of as British cuisine is manufactured in Europe. So you're not so much importing it as taking it home.
 
Some things are NEVER the same abroad, Oxo, tea bags, the rest I can deal with.
As an addition, beer and spirits always taste better.

But in the wider scale we do. Spain and France have an appetite for our seafood, scallops ,spider crabs.mussels etc then there is soft fruit, Beef,

IF there are tariffs or delays in serving the markets eg customs it has the potential to decimate those industries unless we re educate ourselves and are prepared to pay for quality food on our doorstep

I questioned earlier the bizarre situation Scotland want out the Union but happy to remain within the EU considering the value of shellfish exports and impact on the fleet of boats I have answered my own question

The fear mongering Daily Fail, as korky said earlier :)

The media - off and on line - regularly publish a load of s**t stirring whatever all the blinkin' time.

Do you honestly believe customs are going to have the manpower to go through every single cupboard, locker, fridge, cubby hole etc. in every motorhome & camper that crosses the channel to Europe?! What next? Training special sniffer dogs to hunt out your illicitly smuggled tubs of pot noodles, pappy white british sliced bread and Tetley tea bags?! What a load of old tosh! :D
Get real, folks, and please try not to fall for this sort of b***sh*t too often, if your poor old brains can help it that is... :scared::lol-049::lol-061:;) :D

in truth they did search through lockers etc before we joined the eec , even for along time after we joined many things werent allowed to be taken across borders . well uk was the worst.
fresh goods got hit hardest , cant remember them worrying about tinned food mainly fresh stuff .
but we coped . went away most winters through the 60,s and alot in the 70,s . was quite young in the 60,s but it was good fun going through all the borders and messing around to annoy the border patrols etc .

It would all depend on how well geared up you are when entering another country,custom check points will dissolve,though you may be ask/forced to leave at a later date.

in the past there was customs and borders at every eu country . now the individual borders arent there only borders with countries outside etc of eu, our entry will be to the eu not every individual country as they are one sort of .
i,m sure you know what i mean.
as a kid it was our job to cause as much fuss at borders as we could , after all they were stopping us traveling . remember we were once 3 families traveling in a coach . there was 16 of us but as kids stand at the front get counted then sneak to the back and get counted again through the windows , they would make us all get out and they couldnt find the missing people. ha ha .
once going into turkey we were told the border is closed for three day. but pay some money and you can get through. we started putting tents up on the track through the border ,after all the track was closed . we soon got through and my father etc never paid back shiesh or how ever you spell it . hee hee . its all a game .
 
I remember during a foot and mouth scare Spanish customs were confiscating sealed Danish bacon from Uk motorhomes coming into Santander.

Totally agree Channa, I was merely referring to the ludicrous presumption made that the EU was trying to put us off ****** by threatening to search tourists for a ham cob.
