As there is always spare capacity in the suitcases on the outbound journey, we fill them with things we like, such as Yorkshire tea bags, Douwe Egberts coffee, Cadburys chocolate, Heinz beans, Shreddies, Fairy (non bio) washing tablets, etc.

Why bring some of these items from home when Orlando Publix store have so many UK items, which we cannot buy in Tampa?
We regularly buy Tetley tea bags, just cannot get the Yorkshire water
Publix stock Weetabix (a bit firmer that at home) and cornflakes, which are as good as identical. Heinz baked beans are available as well as tomato ketchup.
So far the only issue we have had is English style biscuits, which we get family to bring with them when they visit us, so we can get a taste of home
That made me smile Chris, I brought back a load of tins of biscuits on my last visit home, you know the type they produce for Christmas time Foxs/Cadburys etc..
I was worried they would be all broken as I had to put them in the hold, but most survived the journey as did most of the tins, just a couple dings!

Yes it is the white form from on the plane wereyou tick that you are bringing in food, they will ask you whate foods you have and they will send you to have your bags xrayed. This only adds about 5 minutes onto the time it takes to get out of the airport and we have never had a problem.
I know this might sound a silly question but is hard cheese something like Chedder.

Yes Lyn, anything of that nature - blocks of Cheddar type cheeses rather than squidgy soft types.

Cheese will then be another thing for us to take, we have never found any cheese in the US that had a good strong taste.
