Bringing food on a plane

[Princess Mags]

I was wondering if anyone knew if you could bring things like sandwiches and cake or something through airport security. We will have an extra quick service meal left for each person at the end of our trip and thought we could bring something with us to eat on the plane on the ride home. I know we cannot bring drinks because of the 3-1-1 rule but I'm not sure if food is OK.

Food is fine as long as it isn't jello or pudding, yogurt things like that. Sandwiches with the condiments on unless you put them in your plastic bag to show them, just easier to put them on, Cake all that stuff is fine. I took my last QS meal from Pop on the last time I flew.

Yes, you can bring sandwiches, cake, etc. You just can't bring things like pudding, jello, a container of peanut butter. You can either have the mayo/mustard put on your sandwich when it's made, or you can request condiment packs and add them later. Just put the condiment packs in your 3-1-1 bag. We do this all the time.

How about bringing butter on the plane. I have food allergies so I was going to bring my butter with me.

How about bringing butter on the plane.

What would you use the butter for? Are you talking about bringing a cube of butter on the plane (should be okay, although would be odd), or butter already on something, such as a sandwich (also okay).

I am planning on bringing a tub of butter to put on my waffles, toast, grits, etc. I need a soy free dairy free butter and I feel safer bringing my own.

It's not really butter if it's dairy free. It's also not a solid, like a stick of butter.

I'm pretty sure this would come under the liquid rule. Get some small tubs (100ml) and put them in your zip lock. You might get a medical exception for a larger tub but I wouldn't bring a larger tub unless I was willing to throw it out.

What about cheesecake?

What about cheesecake?

Cheesecake is fine. This past Sunday I had an extra meal credit so went to the BW bakery just before my DME time. I got a tomato/mozzarella sandwich, pasta salad, bottle of water, and a chocolate peanut butter cake to eat at the airport just prior to my flight. I drank the water on the way to the airport, then refilled it after I got through security. The frosting and filling on the chocolate/peanut butter cake was much softer than a cheesecake would be. I have taken a piece of cheesecake on in the past though. Oh, I also had several pieces of fudge, caramel chocolate covered pecan clusters, chocolate covered toffees, etc in my personal item. Everything got through security without a second look.

Thanks. I'm thinking I'm going to get a cheesecake from Junior's and take it with me. My sister's been begging me to send her some so she can compare it to a place down there that says they have Junior's cheesecake shipped in daily.
