Marmite! in France, Sacre bleu you english never fail to amuse me .Some years ago we went to Camping Ca-Savio in Italy friends went with  us took

56 pound bag of Potatoes

24 packets/pints of long life milk

6 dozen eggs

and three tins of ......................................Spaghetti. Never has my gasted been so flabbered I dread to think what their noseweght was but, hey, we are on holiday!!!!!!!!! enjoy

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmFrench Food, yummy baguettes, hams and cheeses.

I'm not sure but I dint think you are allowed to take any meat raw or cooked into France.  I am sure I read that when we went this year on a ferry booklet (probably due to foot and mouth).  I dont know if this has now been lifted.

'We spent 4 hours in carrefour this year.
Is that sad or what? '

We are just as bad.  I love E'Lecerc, and I can spend hours there.  They kids love to see all the live crabs etc while Mummy wanders up and down the wine shelves

We love to try out all the local ceeses and pateswith nice big hunks of bread.  One of the real delights of visiting France, IMHO.

I will admit to taking instant coffee and tea bags.

Don't forget the bacon - theirs is total cack!!!!!

oh by the way what is that bloody offensive smell you experience in every supermarket you go into???? ........it can only be described as a sort of a highly toxic mixture of bad breath, sweaty feet and galloping incontinence.....and no it wasn't me!
