![]() My nephew is going on an exchange program in Taiwan and they want him to bring some uniquely American food. See's candy is one item, but my nephew wants to take some of those spray cans of cheese. I can't figure out if it's acceptable under TSA rules for checked luggage. It's non- flammable, but the TSA has aerosol's listed under "flammable items." Do they mean that flammable aerosols are prohibited, or did they just put it under "flammable items" without thinking of pressurized food. Technically EasyCheese is not an aerosol can, there is a piston inside the can, and it's pressurized with nitrogen from the bottom (an aerosol product has the propellant mixed with the contents), but I don't think explaining that would be too productive. Any help would be appreciated! More info: "http://www.nabiscoworld.com/easy-cheese/" |

Kraft Mac and Cheese boxes, hamburger helper, New England clam chowder (get Snows if possible), pork rind 'chips' served with tobasco or *yellow* mustard. Bread and butter pickles (specifically that type), Longhorn cheese (not too much, they are apt to be somewhat lactose intolerant), peanut butter. Obviously not all of those but thats some ideas they will find intriguing. Not haute cuisine, but very american <grin>. The canned cheese if you can get it through the airport will be a unique hit I bet! Been to Thailand many times. He'll love it! |

Funny! We had a relative visit from Italy- he wanted donuts, jello and pancake mix to take home with him. When I came from there, I brought back tartaric acid, olive oil, wine, & chocolate! |

You can take EasyCheese in checked luggage, but not in a carry on (weighs over 3 oz). I have taken it a couple of times on diving trips. Becca |

If the Taiwanese don't decide it's a toxic material, the airlines won't mind. It may taste a little nasty but it isn't normally explosive. |

It'd be much better if you checked with the proper governmental agencies instead of relying on word-of-mouth from folks on RFC or any other newsgroup! What you ask is akin to getting legal advice by people who are not attorneys! If I were in the same boat, I'd contact the local librarian to ask which governmental agencies to inquire. Just my $0.02-worth. Sky -- Ultra Ultimate Kitchen Rule - Use the Timer! Ultimate Kitchen Rule -- Cook's Choice |

They may well still search the checked baggage when it goes through x-ray if they can't identify what something is, but I doubt seriously they'd confiscate canned cheese. OTOH, customs at the other end might seize it. <shrugs> Jill |

LOL you could be right. He could bring Reese's peanut butter cups but then that's the same texture problem isn't it ![]() |

But I can certainly see the Taiwaneese loving the novelty of spray-cheese. They'd eat that shit up just on principle if not taste. -sw |

Jeez, Steve, this was a pretty obvious troll and y'all are taking it somewhat "seriously"... I kyped the original message from rec.travel.air, check out the discussion thread there... Myself, I'd stick with the See's candy... ;=D -- Best Greg |
