oh dear
where are you going to & how long for?
I can't see how a frozen plastic bottle of milk could last without going off more than 2 days max, including the travelling time. Do she & the children not plan to have any more milk after that?
If they really insist that foreign milk is undrinkable, perhaps she could take long life milk with her. Or you go & enjoy your holiday without them, & they can stay at home with their regular milk

That milk in your carton has 99% likely been imported from Europe anyway, so it'll just be going back where it came from.
Apart from the probable law-breaking and health risks, it's going to be a big smelly nightmare if it does leak........

1kg a ltr is going to take alot of luggage allowance, mind you room for shopping.
My children love the milk abroad, have they tried it before?
I did see someone try to do this before and it split as it defrosted after a 6hr delay!!! Once you've handed your hold luggage in just keep your fingers crossed.:eek:

Think the only time you would have a reason for this is if you were lactose intolerant and couldn't guarantee lactose free milk abroad. However, my way around this was just by not drinking milk!

I have taken frozen milk abroad in the 'good old days' when you could put a cool box full of goodies in the hold. It arrived in fine fettle but of course it didn't last the whole holiday. I personally prefer 'our milk' to the milk you can buy in the majority of foreign places (Spain,Greece,Turkey and the like) but have learnt to 'put up with it'. This year in Benalmadena I did see Cravendale for sale in some 'english supermarkets' but obviously it was more expensive than the local milk. If it makes your wife and kids happy the let it be, we all have different tastes after all.

No problem taking dairy products within the EU, however I am sure fresh milk is available wherever you are going.I don't know how long it will remain frozen.

I agree - cows are cows, so milk is milk.

However, i remember once I couldn't see fresh milk in a supermarket abroad and came to the conclusion that the only milk they had (in that supermarket anyway) was long life milk which was in a big stack in the shop.

From experience I find the milk the same as at home. I am sure you possibly get goats milk, but you just need to check before you use it. Funny though, the thought of goats milk horrifies me - but if you think about it goats aren't any worse than cows!! :rotfl:

I know this probably wont help, but I think this is the 2nd funniest question ever asked on here, after the "what cant i take on a plane" question.


You deserve a medal for your patience mate personally I wouldnt even get on the plane with someone who is afraid of foreign milk.
