Suitcases

Posted by Matthew McEwen

As international teachers living in a country where alcohol is hard to come by, we usually take visiting the duty free shop very seriously and on more than one occasion break duty laws by bringing in more than our allotted 2 bottle maximum. I even know someone (name withheld in order to protect them from the Bengali Duty Authority search) that brought in 20+ bottles of spirits one time. But this blog isn't about rum and bulk wine ... it's about meat. A friend that (I'm not sure it's smuggling though) brings in bulk meat. Sausages, whole fish, pork shoulder, steak fillets, haggis (give it away?) and (here's why I'm blogging this) skate .... yes a whole string ray wing. It's in his freezer ... I saw it. I remain thoroughly amazed at his stock of meat products.
