Bringing food into Australia

You find my comments sinister?

I am genuinely very sorry that do.

Ishotamaninreno you are the one getting annoyed here because people didn't side with your story but with the Aus border agents

BP007 posted a completely valid statement which shouldn't have made you want to leave at 'this stage' but instead should have opened your eyes to the naivety on your end

If you had the capacity to continue reading his post he mentioned cross contamination. You were also advised that your frozen meal would have likely defrosted and subsequently refroze during flight which could have left you open to potential poisoning

I have flown all over the world and any major airport usually has some sort of food outlet open and you are tethered to the wrong planet thinking a processed, frozen ready meal is particularly healthier than what would be available to you in an airport early morning

Having read this thread, everyone so far has responded reasonably except for you (after your original post)

So to remain on topic I wouldn't advise bringing any food in, watch the shows mentioned on youtube. I watch them everyday around 6pm in the UK. Alarming the sort of crap people try to bring in. I have seen them seize a small necklace once because there was a section that contained a dried 'seed' of sorts ... I wouldn't risk it and I think the fine is $220

I do hope that you forgive me #32, in that you also find my comments as 'Sinister'.

"In that you also find my comments as 'sinister'"

I never mentioned that - please re-read the post.

I think the Aus border folk already forgave your ignorance, you don't need my forgiveness old boy

come on you guys, the OP didn't ask whether she should bring food or not, but how to find out what was ok to bring and what isn't. How pointless to say 'just don't bother bringing anything'.
A fairly entertaining thread regardless. I watched an episode of australia border whatever the other night. A korean? woman who brought half her garden with her and didn't declare it, including a few aloe plants that were crusted in dirt and crawling with insects. What goes through their heads??

Lisa - this show can be very entertaining, seeing usually Asian women insisting that they do not have food, although the case is jam packed with edible products. Then the males who get upset because they are being delayed but aren't co-operative and won't answer any questions asked to them.

It really makes you appreciate the thankless job these guys do.

ishotamaninreno, I don't know where you got the idea that chicken was banned but lamb was OK.
this list clearly shows that ALL animal products of any species, unless canned, are banned.
Next time plan on having Spam for dinner.

We were told that was the case, and our thoughts were endorsed by the official at the airport saying that 'It could contain chicken', so shoot us!

And you took the time to find what can be bought into the country, and what can not, dear oh dear, it does say something about you, i am not sure what!....................... And do pardon me, if i am not rude in return

Yeah - it took 10 seconds. And what it says about me is that I base my views on facts rather than random opinions.
As you found out, an opinion didn't save your rogan josh.
