To bring food on board or not?

Just how far should we be allowed to go to bring food on board? A sandwich? Salad? A turkey?

Well, if you prefer the latter, don’t do it in the UK. It seems it’s illegal to bring perishable food on as carry-on.

Over the holidays, one passenger at the Cardiff, Wales airport tried to bring a Christmas turkey on board in his hand luggage. The turkey was confiscasted and destroyed because of the above rules.

I did some extra digging and found out the real reason……the turkey was stuffed with exploding giblets.

On another day, someone tried to bring on his pet goldfish. The goldfish was also not allowed to board since it refused to be still while being sent through the nude-o-scope nor the pat down. 

And if you think I’m kidding about either of these two events…I’m not:

Turkey refused boarding
