Pickles and tes bags should be Ok if in a sealed jar/box, but I would not take in the marmite.

Marmite and T bags are fine. We take them EVERY visit

Pickles, I would suspect would be a no.

We have taken marmite on every trip without problem.[msnsmile2]

Marmite is made of yeast extract and is totally vegetarian and as such is ok to take to the US. Beed based ones like Bovril are not ok to take.

If you are unsure, you can always buy these goods from the British Store at the Old Town on the 192.

Original and the best!!
