What food can I bring through customs? Many prepared foods that are unopened and commercially labeled are admissible (excluding meats and meat products). You may bring bakery items and most cheeses into the United States. As a general rule, condiments, vinegars, oils, packaged spices, honey, maple syrup, coffee, fish, tea, and baby formula are admissible. I was able to bring in some spices that were sealed. However, The biltong, ostrich eggs, salted fish and some other items were being taken buy customs. I have seen some bags that were being searched by customs and was wondering what were those people thinking. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> "You've got the strongest hand in the world. That's right. Your hand.

MARMITE! I always bring several jars of Marmite - in fact, Alan has just arrived here 2 days ago and he brought me some too! I love Marmite - Ray, and most Americans, hate it! One told me he thought it was made of rotten hyena guts! I put enough to taste, add some lemon or lime juice, some Tabasco, boiling water in a large mug. Absolutely delicious! | |||

I brought back a bag of elephant biltong. I thought it was so nasty that I needed to share it with my friends  | |||

I’ve acquired a taste for Monkey Gland Sauce after four trips to Namibia. I serve it with BBQ meats, especially cheeseburgers. I love the sweet and sour taste, plus it brings out many fond memories of past hunts Jesus saves, but Moses invests | |||

Biscuits from Mokore Safari camp in the Save. My Mom liked them and the kitchen staff was very kind to make a large batch to bring back to the us. It lasted for a whole 3-4 months - they made a lot. I wish I had got some of their chili sauce. They make 2 kinds - red and green and they are both excellent. Mike | |||

You lot have no taste for good, wholesome food! I have friends originally from Africa who have been living in the US for years, visiting. Yesterday I went to the bakery to get some bread, and got some hot crossed buns for them! They were over the moon! A few weeks ago I was introduced to a chef who runs a Michelin Star restaurant. He was the guest chef, and asked what I wanted to eat. Conversation went something like this. "Do you make normal food?" "Of course! We just make it tastier" "I know you are going to have to spent a lot of time preparing what these lot are going to eat, so can you just get a T-bone steak, sprinkle some salt and black pepper on it. Put it on the grill, and when the meat is almost as hard as the bone, send it over with a baked potato!" "Good. I will prepare some nice sauce for you too" "No thanks. A whole lime sliced in half, and a bottle of Tabasco. That is the perfect sauce for a steak." "OK. What about dessert? We have a large selection I can prepare for you" "Do you have vanilla ice cream? Just that and some berries on top. Or melted chocolate" He was laughing, and took all this in his strides, while everyone was laughing their heads off. I got my phone out, and showed him photos of our lunch in the bush. From the just shot klipspringer, to it being skinned, to it being put on the fire, and us eating it with baked beans! He did prepare my steak perfectly. And our host asked him if he had cooked a steak like that before. He said "NO!" | |||

Haven't brought back anything edible after my Africa hunts but next time coming home from Zim I will try to bring some locally made Peanut Butter. The Zim product is much better and tastier than the China factory produced stuff ( cheap ) most of our supermarkets currently stock here. We do have one excellent NZ brand made from Australian grown ( Queensland ) peanuts which unfortunately is quite spendy. I still buy it however. It's a bit like optics - you get what you pay for ! Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||

Pili Pili sauce from Tanz. The camp cook gave me an unopened bottle of the green. Regarding Amarula - last time I drank that stuff, mixed with brandy, woke up wrapped in an elk hide with a couple of small dogs for company. Never again! kh | |||

A jar of Beefy Bovril. Almost out, which means almost time to go back! Like many things, the attraction is more about what you associate it with than how it tastes .... JEB Katy, TX Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day - Robert Ruark DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

If you are there in the middle of summer (Dec Jan) be sure to get some ripe litchis. You probably can't bring them back but you won't have any left anyway.

Flying back from Namibia two days ago, I brought two giant pieces of German Apple Strudel from the Bakkery in Outjo. I ate them in the middle of the night flying from London to ORD. Not just delicious but fond memories. Jesus saves, but Moses invests | |||
