Yes always stock up with cheese, Toulouse sausage, wine to name a few things all the usual stuff steak hache being a must, more interested in diesel prices just had a friend return said super markets 1.65€ and 2.10€ on motorway should get to just south of saint malo on a tank

Toulouse sausage, despite our place being 1 1/2 hours from Toulouse, I have never liked but "steak haché" or mince as Brits call it, it is fascinating that you too think it is worth bringing back.

We also like the farm fresh chickens with their heads still on them.

I just wish you could come to the shop with me. Even as a butcher's son I think you would be impressed. (You haven't said where in France you tried to shop for meat.)

all the way down the west side to the Spanish border when we drove overland to Morocco and we fished in a few central areas below paris
i worked for a few weeks at a customers villa in the lower central area

Yes do a bit of fishing on the way not going to the med this year, but taking my beach rods, barbecued sardines with a little salt, crusty bread and a bottle (or two) of rose

I used to bring back Cheese from UK by plane and had a cool bag rucksack but was always check out as cheese has the same sort of image as explosives when going through the scanner

That's not good. So all a terrorist has to do is wrap his cemtax in an opened cheddar wrapper to get it through customs? EEEK!

You don't need to hide.

Just point out to them that you hold all the cards.
