Butternut squash at M&S T5
So I’ve got an unusual one for the BA regulars.
I am flying with BA from Heathrow to Munich, and need to bring with me a butternut squash (yes really!)
is this something I can purchase at M&S in the arrivals part of T5?

I don't think that M&S sells that sort of loose fruit & veg, except maybe apples and bananas. They are all about the cooked foods or the ready to cook prepared ingredients in a plastic package.
The nearest place to Heathrow that I can think of to get such a thing is the Tesco at Hatton Cross, it's about 15 minutes' walk from the Hatton Cross tube.

If it helps there's a Tesco Superstore at Hatton Cross and apparently the 490 bus goes directly there from T5 stand 7 to stop "Central Way" which is right outside Tesco.

Thanks all, I will not have time to source one in Munich so will make sure I arrive at Heathrow with one.
Presumably there will be no issues with security at T5 / and arrivals in Munich?

I thought many borders had issues with bringing in fresh produce. However am speaking from a position of relative ignorance as I don't remember ever trying it. Brought some vacuum sealed Jamon back from Spain once, but as it was vacuum sealed I don't recall even declaring it...

I was in M&S there on Monday and they do have some fruit and veg. I bought sweet peppers and cucumber among other things. Didn't notice Butternuts so why not call them:

A Simply Food M&S in an airport/station environment won’t stock butternut squash.

I don’t actually know why, I am on a stag do and the best man has assigned me the job of bringing one along with us, amongst other things, I assume the reason for bringing it will be revealed over the course of the weekend, much to the horror of the unfortunate stag...
