What kind of pudding? |
I think it will be confiscated, especially since its homemade. Make it when you get there, or tell MIL too bad (in nicer words of course). |

When it comes to bringing items through checkpoints, we've seen just about everything. Traveling with food or gifts is an even bigger challenge. Everyone has favorite foods from home that they want to bring to holiday dinners, or items from their destination that they want to bring back home. Not sure about what you can and can't bring through the checkpoint? Here's a list of liquid, aerosol and gel items that you should put in your checked bag, ship ahead, or leave at home if they are above the permitted 3.4 oz. Cranberry sauce Cologne Creamy dips and spreads (cheeses, peanut butter, etc.) Gift baskets with food items (salsa, jams and salad dressings) Gravy Jams Jellies Lotions Maple syrup Oils and vinegars Perfume Salad dressing Salsa Sauces Snow Globes Soups Wine, liquor and beer You can bring pies and cakes through the security checkpoint, but they are subject to additional screening. While you can bring wrapped gifts through the checkpoint, TSA officers may have to unwrap a gift to take a closer look inside. We recommend that you wrap gifts after your flight or ship them ahead of time. This way you will avoid having to open them during the screening process. |
+1000 It sounds like a diarrhea nightmare. |
| This is ridiculous. Put your foot down. I'd be annoyed at my MIL but downright furious with DH for going along with the ludicrous plan. Do not bring the freaking pudding. |
| Don't bother making it, what a ridiculous request. When you get there say it was confiscated. |
I am def not going to bring it, but should I make it after a day of traveling?? |
This. |
Sure, why not? Does it require constant whisking for hours? Is it physically difficult to make? If not, then make it to add your own dish to the meal. |
| Why don't you make it with your MIL when you get there? That way she won't ask you next year. |
| Throw some instant pudding in a Tupperware take n toss and purposely get it confiscated. DH will be witness to the confiscation so that solves that. |
Trust me, mil is the type who would then say... "Oh don't worry! I got the ingredients anyways. You can get started in the kitchen now!" |
Op, I wouldn't make it after hours of travel, no matter how easy it is to make. Mil is rude. Plain and simple. |
Than I would either half ass it or just be like, "I'm sorry, i can't. I'm so tired. I'm sure you understand." Let her know beforehand that you dont think you;ll be up to it. If DH has such a problem with this then you can hand him the recipe and he can make it when you get to MIL's. |
She's a bit of a princess. Just Trust me. She doesn't cook or clean or do anything domestic. She directs others. |
