Taking food into EU/France.

Don't they sell food in France
As said before, it's more a case that if one is going away for a couple of months it was normal to empty the fridge into the van so no waste. Also not everyone wants to stop and shop, it's a personal choice whether to be self sufficient and get on way or meander. It used to be a straightforward decision but since ****** the rules have changed but not always enforced.:rolleyes:
 
When we get through the tunnel we have a 3 hour rive ahead of us, so, whilst we love French food, we don't want to have to hit a supermarket straight away, hence carrying some grub from home which would else go to waste.
 
near the front of the same ferry as lee i took enough sachets of dog food for molly as she has been on that diet for over ten years and it’s not pleasant when you change their diet , only about £30 in total so if i had to bin them not really a problem but aware that i shouldn’t, the fridge was clear so i would have survived a check but not a thorough inspection ,
 
Amazing though it might seem the supermarkets in France and Spain are packed with food a lot of it superior to what you will find in British supermarkets. (Does anyone really enjoy Cornish brie). Just avoid wine in the French ones.
 
We know that but if you read the tenor or the thread its about having stuff from home so it doesn't get wasted and also about not having to hit a supermarket as soon as you land in France especially if you have some distance to go that first day.

Does either of those situations make it legal to import prohibited items?

Not sure if serious ?
 
Anyone been across to Santander recently? We are booked over in the middle of March and although don’t want to take a lot like to have a few days meals so we don’t have to stock up straight away.
 
Why should you take food into Europe? it's cheaper on the continent anyhow.

I refer the right honourable gentleman to my previous post. #28.

Also the only thing that has changed since I last visited france when it was ok to take food in, is the bureaucacy.
 
It's a shame that most people who join a thread late, don't bother to read all the posts to get up to speed with it.
 
A family pack of frozen paratha.
Great for breakfast but easy enuff to find substitutes.
And a meal for the first night.
But quite content to comply and stop and shop just outside of Calais
