Hi Feggy and welcome to the bizarre and wonderful world of FT

If you want to bring meat products try and get it vacuum packed and place it in your checked baggage. The temperature in the hold is usually cold enough to keep it going for a good long time. I did this all the time when brining (the best in the world) meat from Ireland to France when I lived on the emerald Isle.

If you can get the these vacuum packed as well you're golden. I do this when I bring cheese from Switzerland to Scandinavia and works a treat every time. Also, I pack this in the checked baggage.

No need to declare farm produce as long as it is EU stamped and/or you can show that EU tax has been paid should it come from abroad.

Hope this helps
