Sorry, skimmed through the thread (yet again)

OK, sometimes you need to ask: what's the worst outcome if you choose this, if the penalty in this case is to dump the controband then they choice is yours risk.
Life is full of choices in very many forms.

Came back via Santander last Sunday in a car. Most had portable fridges in the boot including us! That means they had a portable fridge heading into Spain I would think? Wouldn't worry about taking tinned or fresh meat into Spain or France, most you could lose is that! Guardia and Gendarmerie have better things to Police....

Had a corned beef sarnie for lunch today.

Did we push you into it?

 

[Millcourt]

Yes it is preserved but not always tinned. You can get it sliced in packed (now that most supermarkets have closed their butchery counter) along with Ox tonque.

…..But the supermarket has just opened a large tin of corned beef, sliced it and repacked in polythene packet!

I'm pretty sure "pickled/cured brisket" is pastrami isn't it ?

Corned beef is cured in brine I think. Was for long sea journeys????

I'm planning a motorhome holiday in Spain next year. The more I read about bringing in meat, the more confused I get.
From “Spain's Official Tourism Website” :
Heading: “What can you bring into Spain and with what limitations?
“There are a number of products which have entry or exit limitations in Spain from outside the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. These include cultural goods, wild fauna and flora and products derived from these, vegetables and plant products, weapons and ammunition, medicines, tobacco and alcoholic beverages.”
Can anyone point me to official information which might answer these questions about Spanish Customs?
(I’ve just emailed the Spanish Tourist Office in London)
a) Tinned meat
b) If I enter Spain directly from the UK by ferry
c) If I enter Spain from France.
d) Whether the passport I use affects any of the above as I have dual Irish EU and British UK birth nationality and separate passports. I am resident in the UK.

Corned beef hash
mash some tatties, fry an chopped onion until golden then mix onion, tatties and crumbled Corned beef into the frying pan with a little oil then fry until crispy underneath then turn out onto plate crispy side up. Season with Salt pepper and lashing of Daddies sauce.

Nah, can’t go with this I’m afraid. When you buy it from a deli in slices it is usually cured or pickled brisket. Not the same as in cans.

Someone's pulling your leg m8y, it's made in tins ,cooked in tins and sliced up from a tin.
There is no other way to make it.
