Indeed, it is strange that these same " Brit's Abroad " don't have any problems getting sossed out of their minds on cheap " foreign " booze.. :rolleyes:

Or indeed, they have no problem drinking 'foreign' booze in the UK.

I wouldn't be surprised if the kids in this case end up being the stereotypical Brit in Spain who screams and howls because the supermarket is out of baked beans, or worse, they used 'some foreign beans' instead of proper English ones.

I'm positive that many of these 'don't wanna eat furrin muck' types probably have a menu something like this -

Monday : Lasagne
Tuesday : Chicken Tikka Masala
Wednesday : Goulash
Thursday : Sweet and Sour Chicken with Rice
Friday : Beef Stroganoff
Saturday : Sushi
Sunday : Sunday roast

But they just can't eat 'furrin muck' can they?

I actually wonder how much food consumed in the UK is actually solely British.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 'BRITISH MILK FROM BRITISH COWS' is actually from Polish cows...perhaps you should ask her to make sure that the milk is actually from the UK before sulking about drinking 'that foreign muck'.

....
Whilst I appreciate that your wish is to turn this into yet another Brit bashing thread, that is no excuse for misrepresenting the facts ..... So lets remind ourselves what the OP actually said shall we? :rolleyes:

My wife wants to take milk with her as she and the kids just won't use milk when we are abroad.

All rather inoffensive eh? ... and as the OP has pointed out, when it comes to food, his wife is very fussy... Nothing more, nothing less, no zenophobia, no history of BM membership, just a woman who is a fussy eater. :rolleyes:

But hey ho, please don't let me stop you enjoying yourself by slapping BNP stickers on the OPs kids schoolbags and displaying the very traits you so vocally speak out against.

Theres quiet a few Polish food shops in this country now, seems they do not like what we eat.

i think your wife has deeper issues if she is worried about milk on holiday. I'd also be concerned she is passing on her issues to your kids.....

This needs to be nipped in the bud!

I suggest the OP next year decides to visit Salou as everywhere you went you were offered english food, english tea, english beer and english TV. Its just like blackpool but warmer and without the scummy beach.

oh the one thing that wasn't english that they did advertise was danish bacon!

Probably because, unlike milk, some products we eat are not available in British shops, for example "proper" bread, white cheese, some kinds of sausages, kefir and many, many others...

[FONT=&quot] Unfortunately she is incredibly fussy and I've tried time and again to convince her that stuff like this is fine. I've only told the half of it as I'm sure she is planning to take one suitcase just full of food. I'm now at the point where I just let her pack as long as I don't have to do any of it because it used to make me soooooo cross seeing what she was packing and we would end up arguing and ruining the start of the holiday...[/FONT]

......Brits abroad, sorry no offence meant but I find that soooo funny. ABout 21 years ago my wife and I were in Bulgaria with our 18 month old daughter. We went to the "meet and greet" evening where the Rep do their bit. At the end of the meeing, thr rep asked if anyone else had any question, two couples from the older generation (must have been 60 isch at the time) stood up and one of them said......It's about the food....It's all a bit foreign :rotfl: The rep told them where to get chicken and chips and they left very happy with themselves.

Can't stop remembering them all these years later.......Make sure your wife is discreet when she unwrap her Marmite and Heinz tomato soup

Why bother !!???! :cool:

Apparently it's because our bread isn't proper, our white cheese is different and our sausages aren't the same?
