Camping Ideas and Tips

If you're planning on bringing any cheese or similar dairy products back... hide them in the toilet, my brother had UK customs threatening confiscation when he came back last month.

We bring a couple of big bottles of this salad dressing back, really cheap and lasts years......

Grab a few tins of cassoulet too
And a few cases of cremant while your at it .

If you’re in France get some of this - tasty veg in a tin - lovely! We’re smuggling some back with us!

Thank heavens nobody was thinking of bringing chorizo sausage back from Spain, dread to think where that would be hidden.
Wish we had bought some Teisseire lime cordial in those alloy bottles back from France last year, I know you can get it here but it's nearly £7 per bottle and not all the flavours compared to less than €4 at Intermarche and all the exotic flavours.
Similar situation with Carib Sorrel shandy from this years away day but apparently Tesco stock that bad boy, alcohol free pop, I never lost my sweet tooth... it's rotten but I've still got it.

Must start making a list of stuff to look for next time we're over there
Pisang Ambon is another thing I managed to find when in Leclerc

French Supermarche; 10m fresh fish counter, 6 aisles of fresh fruit and veg’

British Supermarket; 5 aisles of stuff to kill things, clean you house, polish the toilet and wash your clothes. 3 aisles of crisps, sugar loaded cereal and things you add boiling water to to make ‘meals’.

Even local covered markets there give ours a run for their money...

We sat against a side wall bench eating fresh crepes and people watching.
