Frozen milk in luggage ?

Hope she tells your insurance company that she's planning on filling the case with potentially stinky liquid. Perhaps when she realises she has just invalidated your insurance she may see a little sense.

Depending on where you are going you should be able to get comparable milk to at home. Years ago the milk in spain did taste different because of the treatment methods. Now you can buy good old pasteurised milk which tastes the same. Often it is psychological that it tastes different rather than it actually doing.

The risk of the carton exploding and defrosting is a definite possibility between the hold and the baggage handlers. Plus as mention previously it will only last a couple of days once defrosted if you are lucky.

Try the local pasteurised milks again. They are a lot better these days.

It can be the milk, but also the water & tea tastes differant. If she has a problem with it no amount of talking will alter that. Personally I wouldn't bother, but I often drink things black when abroad as hate UHT milk. I have taken frozen bacon & sausages to a friend living abroad, the biggest problem was the condensation as they started to defrost. I had wrapped the packets in kitchen towel, then plastic bags, then more kitchen towel. Even so there was still plenty of damp clothing, so I would really wrap it well if you go down that route.

The milk does taste different, now she's older we just tend to let DD have coco pops or other flavoured cereals and it masks the flavour. Yoghurt and cheese are another way to get calcium for the kids.

In Gibraltar UHT milk is still widely used, but they had a Safeway when we were there where it was all british shops stuff that was brought in, so DD could have her usual milk, she was only 3you and the Spanish milk really did taste a lot different.

I wouldn't take any with me, it's not worth the hassle, the border rules are there for a reason, best to stick to them rather than ask for grief....

Could drink it before you go and smuggle it in.:rolleyes:

My boyfriend, who once had a bottle of milk leak in a car, will barely let me put one in there for an hour... I'm going to suggest taking frozen milk on our next trip and see what he says... as I only take hand luggage he may work out that it is not really an option.

As someone else has said, it is legal within the EU.

No, milk is milk to me. And is it really impossible to go without milk for a couple of weeks? Really don't understand why people don't adapt to where they are instead of trying to take Britain with them everywhere.

If you want to drink British milk then why not travel to Blackpool or Skeggy instead?

They have milk and Nescrap just like home

Half of the experience of going abroad is the different food and culture
