Pizza With a Knife & Fork?
Since an incident in Spain where I dove right in there and ate my first slice of pizza with my hands and then turned around to find everybody (and I mean everybody!) in the place eating with their knives and forks I tend to have a furtive look around first. And yes I know that is caving to peer pressure but hey...im shallow;)
I always eat with my hands if possible when alone though.....yes, I may have been born in a field! But then again I get all squeamish when I have to eat prawns from the shell (or whatever the correct term is...eww antennae!) or seafood in general unless its presented to me in a non-threatening way so....each to their own!
Bringing food into the US in checked luggage......is it allowed?
Ok all. I have followed your advice and had a look on the US Customs website and guess what the first question on their FAQ is? Thats right! What foods can i bring into the US? So i feel a little silly for bothering you all like this:) Looks like hard cheeses like cheddar etc. are ok as long as they are declared but soft cheeses like brie are not. At least this has given a little more focus to my gift ideas......maybe some very local hard cheeses that are produced just for the local market might work. I'll be sure to tell you all how it works out!
Bringing food into the US in checked luggage......is it allowed?
@beth1: Yes I certainly will do that but, like a man searching for car keys, I thought I would just ask you first to point me in the right direction;)
@LoCo, plenty to work with there. And worry not, I am so pathetically law abiding that the thought of smuggling anything into or out of anywhere even if were just a pack of bacon brings me out in a cold sweat.
Must keep TSA in mind in case I decide to buy kitchen knives to bring back with me.
@dbcurrie: I did think of spoiling but then I know i have heard from a relative that good packaging and wrapping keeps the temperature pretty consistent......now this would have been overland but quite significant distances.

@tamariga - So glad i'm not the only one! But seriously I never noticed the burgers! But why? I mean isn't that why a burger has a bun? Although recently i have been presented with a few "Oh my God! How am I supposed to get my hands around that never mind my mouth" burgers that one could excuse a knife and fork for. Or just get one of your kids to sit on it for a couple minutes;)
