Importing Food Items to the Philippines

I think that would exclude cooked canned goods and some other preserved goods - where any pathogens or genes would be dead. Every country quite rightly does not want imported diseases to decimate their crops and animals or to import genetic material within a living thing to contaminate gene pools.

 

Ok so Shawn, don’t bring me any joints. We’ll fire up a couple giant eggplants!

 

Is that your polite way of saying "Depends how hungry he is"?

 

Joints and eggplants are not on the menu; but those ribeyes may be.

Why import food from home when you can have the best food right here?

 

You could always cook it before you bring it. LOL

 

I can honestly tell you guys NOT to import any of that fancy flavoured Rice! I sent all my packets over (50+) in the Balikbayan Box which I loved to eat back in Oz by adding some meat and veggies etc to flavour it up some more, it was a weekly treat for me. The Wife and Daughter were both eager to try it, then after trying some, shared it to her family to try, telling them all how yummy it was. ALL of it! (I should have become suspicious but did not give it much though except all my yummy flavoured Rice was gone...) Move on a few years and the admission has now come out, 1) Wife & Daughter HATED IT! 2) Family HATED IT! 3) The Brother In-law's Chickens LOVED IT! Bland flavourless Rice is wearing thin...

 

Welcome back Mr Oinks where yah been.
