I packed chicken breasts and bacon, because the first is more expensive in France, and the second is not sold there!Only used it once (last April) and they came on board, checked any person sized lockers / loo but didn't open the fridge or cupboards.
Having said that we didn't have any contraband and had a ball when we got to the Carrefour

Thats a good tip about the freezing of water bottles to stick in the freezer, however my good lady stuffs the freezer compartment packed solid with food so no room.For the ferry routes.
Pack 4 x 1.5L fizzy pop bottles filled with water and frozen for 24hrs
It will keep the fridge cold for even the longest ferry crossings.
The only fridge food we take is whatever is in our fridge at home the day we go.
(and a pint of milk)

Fridge full,cupboards full got stopped for a check they was not in the least interested.Does anyone have any advice about taking their own food with them when they travel to France? Should our fridge be empty and then we fill up at the supermarche in Calais? Or will it be ok to take supplies from the UK? Any advice welcome.
We buy bacon all the time in French supermarkets, you can get smoked and unsmoked. It's cut quite thin but otherwise fine.I packed chicken breasts and bacon, because the first is more expensive in France, and the second is not sold there!
Apart from that we also shop when we get there!
