Should be no problem taking "dry" foodstuffs there, but if I were you I won't bother taking anything, this type of food is usually very good over there and quite cheap too.0

Taking food abroad depends on the customs regulations of the country you are taking it to. Some (USA, Oz) are paranoic.
Turkey has restrictions on food imports for items of animal/vegetable origin ('phytosanitary' certificate required). Whether they enforce it for small quantities carried by tourists is another matter.0 -
what a 'sad' bunch of travellers some people seem to be, when they feel that they have to take food with them on their holidays.:o
Only my own opinion, but up there with people who endlessly use their mobiles whilst away.:beer:
p.s. for anyone travelling abroard this year and wondering where to purchase their food from - a new phenomenon has swept the world in the last 100 years (or so) -- its called a 'shop' or more specifically, a 'food shop', where you get the chance to exchange bits of paper or metal (commonly called money or currency), for items that the shop is selling. Its often referred to as 'shopping' or 'food shopping' and is quite a popular way for people to spend a large amount of their time.;)
p.p.s. different answer though if your having to take certain foods for medical reasons, or travelling with a baby and landing at an early hour and needing things like formula.0
