Frozen milk in luggage ?

I think you are being a little unfair.

Top of the list of the things that I miss most when travelling is pasteurised homogenized semi skimmed milk and whilst I could not be rrrsed with packing any in my case, I can fully understand why someone would wish to.

I don't drink homogenised milk, but I wouldn't take milk with me on holiday :rotfl::rotfl:

I dunno its just a damned disgrace isn't it why can't these foreigners eat proper food eh?

Yeah, just as I say, proper British food is just so..so...so...monocultural!

I'm still waiting for someone to complain that the Indians in India don't do proper curry!

It seems to be a uniquely British habit to go on holiday in foreign places and demand exactly the same as they have at home. Taking milk is beyond ridiculous!

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...

Seems to be a Polish habit too, demanding food you have at home in a foreign country

I'd try to persuade the wife not to take the milk mainly because of the potential disaster it could cause if the container broke/leaked, other than that just take what you like, a holiday is about enjoying yourself and if it makes it more enjoyable taking some food from home then so be it.

I dont agree with these posters saying that people shouldnt go abroad just because they dont want to eat/drink all the local cuisine or that it accounts for 1/2 the experience, I neither take or seekout any british type food whilst abroad but eating the local dish comes way down on my list for choosing a holiday destination or my actual enjoyment of a holiday.

if it leaked badly and went all over my bag, i'd be mad - if you do decide to do it, make sure you don't wreck your own luggage or anyone else's either!

i sometimes take tea bags with me because you often don't get them in hotels abroad and i like to start the day with them. i know i could buy them, but it's easier to take 5/10 with me than pay through the nose. however, taking milk is a step too far for me.... even with a 2 hour flight, there will be travel to the airport, time after check in, the flight, waiting for immigration, waiting for bags and then travel to the hotel/apartment of choice. that's got to be 6 hours at a minimum. i'd sooner drink 'foreign' milk than stuff that's sat defrosting for hours... (and i agree that it can be hard to get milk that tastes like stuff in the UK, but i'd never dream of taking food and drink for a week in a case - if leaving the UK is that stressful, a holiday here is probably the way forward).

If the milk should leak out there is no point crying.
