I think we did Red Rose Tea in some other thread. ("Red-red-red Rose")

I was over visiting mum when that restriction got set up - around Labour Day last year, wasn't it? We're only about 25 miles from Buffalo and go for picnics with lots of American friends over there every summer. We were worried about taking our hamper over but thought we'd risk it. Had it out in plain sight in the back and the border guard didn't blink an eye. Maybe they've tightened up?

Now that I'm travelling on a British passport, getting my little bit o' paper that gets me into the US at the border is too much of a pain, and the staff there are complete idiots, so I guess if our friends want the pleasure of my company from now on, they'll have to come to Canada!
