First you have to find out is how and when France will let you/us back in. They will not allow any dairy products in much to the disgust of many fisherman as most boilies contain dried egg products and so are banned. Mr BD is not a happy fisherman.

I'm grateful to danny for the link & it seems that chocolate and biscuits are OK, but why bother when those things are available there?

If you've ever eaten French chocolate and biscuits you would know why.

[Khandro]

There's no need to buy French products in France, remember Swiss Tony with his Belgian chocolates?

[Khandro]

Then there are lots of these kind of shops in France & throughout the EU:

Khandro - but there was an article somewhere the other day pointing out that these shops are void of stock because of problems getting stuff into the EU from the UK.

Bait apparently

bhg; That's probably a product of Brit expats panic buying like the toilet roll syndrome of a few month ago. It is the livelihood for these shops so they may have do things differently but I'm sure they will (or probably have) restock.
It's the kind of fake news remoners like spreading

Khandro - they were showing the shelves void of biscuits/baked beans/OXO etc, not just the classic "panic-buying" goods. It was a Belgian "British" supermarket in Brussels and the owner blamed delays at the ports.

bhg // not just the classic "panic-buying" goods// I can assure you that if you are a British expat fear of things like Marmite & Birds custard powder could quickly become in that bracket.

It's more scares from the BBC project fear dept. Ye gods, it's only 7 weeks in to Brexit, let's compare notes in 7 months.

Let's flit to the "Continent" to swoon in the sophisticated and and cultural Nirvana and leave the UK and it's philistines behind. Don't forget to pack the Baked Beans, Custard Creams, Tetley Tea Bags, Marmite, Oxo Cubes and Brown Ale though.

Togo, perhaps you missed the fact that this is a simple question in the Food Drink category.

It asks for answers not lectures.

That was answered with the first answer. Since then there have been other posts that have introduced different facets to the "question". Pay attention to all the posts if you must find comment.
