Does anyone know if I can take a salad to the airport and through security?

[Blueflam]

I hate airport food and I would like to take a packed lunch with my to the airport and through security. I have a craving for a dressed salad. Does anyone know if I can take a salad dressed in mayonnaise through security or would the mayonnaise be considered a liquid? Will I play it safe and only bring sandwiches?

Be careful OP. I once took a salad on my flight to this super part of Spainidorm that me and DH love going to but no one else knows about. I got it through customs ok but it was such a Massive DSalad that I was still eating it two weeks later and I missd my flight home in consequence.

I know that you are craving one but it is so easy to misjudge these things.

I don't care about salad but if someone took my Morrisons trifle I'd be really miffed.

@ChickenandaCanofCoke A meal deal would really have been a grim last choice for us, we wouldn't actually feel like getting those at 6am was a result. I think the bit that really put me in a right good ol stink was that T2 had been done up, to much fanfare, with a few new, interesting places to eat at... but there was blatantly not enough capacity for the amount of passengers in at that time. I shall DOUBLE the amount of granola bars next time.

😅 if you can have a little rant to your DH and throw some granola bars at him then please do. Us people watchers would remember you forever.

And there's never a bad time of day to eat those big beefy hula hoops!

The nuts won't make the plane. If you broke open a Waldorf salad next to me mid-flight you would be watching the business end of anaphylactic shock.

I waltzed through without a problem.

No one was giving a shite about your salad Liz, we were watching our pensions go tits up

I can see a dressed salad being an issue.
I had sushi and they made me put the teeny soy sauce in my liquids bag 🤣

Get one in Pret after you go through security.

She said it would be made without nuts

The salad will be fine, the fork to eat it with, won't be. So I wouldn't unless your happy to pick up heavily mayonnaised lettuce with your hands.

I'm sure plastic/wooden cutlery would be allowed

She's not craving the wal, just the dorf

I can't eat nuts due to GI issues so there won't be any nuts. I make a lazy Waldorf salad without the nuts. I don't fly well and I dont usually eat on planes especially on short flights within Europe. Any food I bring will be for the airport.

I fly a lot….well 4 times a year…..only ever once have I been asked not to eat nuts on a flight ……just peanuts…..and we weren’t asked until we were all seated on the plane….so any nuts would have already been brought on and in bags

Oh yes. There was a whole thread on that recently. 😁

😂😂

Well our DC take their subway sandwiches.

I took a sloppy tuna mayo sarnie through security no probs. I was worried they'd make me scrape the filling into one of those little bags. But they didn't. Phew.

Not relevant to the OP but I normally have a breakfast sausage sarnie at Spoons and save half of it for the plane! We tend to have early morning flights.

Just buy a salad from Boots once you get there and nab a few sachets of Mayo from McDonald's or Burger King.

Hang on, due to GI issues you can't eat raw onion, raw carrots, lettuce, greens, kale or nuts. But celery is fine?

No way!! Fuck that I'd have been shoving it into my mouth using my fingers

My belly is so odd. I can eat some greens but just not too much of them. So you a caesar salad - a lot of it is lettuce. That would set me off big time and I would flare up and get sick. Too much cabbage can make me sore. I do attempt to eat some greens and I can some greens like spinach. Broccoli is out. I can't eat that. I can eat some celery but just not too much of it either.

I am exploring more with foods and it seems as if I can eat cooked onions but not raw onions. I can't eat coleslaw. Coleslaw will make me sick. Not straight away.
