    No Probs hun!

    I would say on a personal note I lived in Spain for a while and took food back with me after visits home (Spanish Heinz Tomato Ketchup just isn't the same to me!!) and I flew in and out of Madrid so cant comment on anywhere else but anything not fresh and is commercially packaged should be fine. I took ketchup, pot noodles, tinned rice pudding, kitkats etc (I am such a classy person!!!)

    On supermarkets as others have said Carrefour, el Arbol, alcampo etc will stock everything you need that you cant take - if there is a Dia supermarket in the vicinity this was always my favourite as its cheap!

    Yes, but you've got it wrong. Now you know.

    Fair play, I copied and pasted from the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture website - I stand corrected. I didn't see your post before mine as I was typing at the time.

    I'm not here to wade into arguments, was just trying to help. I'll happily bow out now!

    Not an argument. Just letting you know that you can fill yer boots with no worries the next time that you visit. :D
    Otherwise you might have missed my post as it was before your previous reply.
