Hi,, can anyone tell me what the guidelines are for taking food onto the airoplane. I have 2 boys who both suffer with aspergers and are very fussy eaters. We have booked in b&b in Levi, so need to know what sort of food i can take with me.
thanks

you can take anything you like but put it all in your hold luggage, we have taken loads of food out with us in the past, froze it and bunged it into a freezer bag and put it in the hold - if you are planning to take meat out with you just get it vacuum packed
you will be able to get most things in the supermarkets in levi and if your boys like pizza then they will be fine as there are a couple of good pizza places
have you got cooking facilities where you are staying?
yes we do have cooking facilities but the boys dont like pizza/pasta/rice or anything like that. Mainly just chicken nuggats and only certain ones which are already frozen so cant really take them.
Yes you can take them, they will stay frozen especially if you pack a load of frozen stuff together, put them into insulated bags and then into freezer bags and then in the hold, it will stay frozen, I'd you don't have much stiff then get some cartons of milk and freeze them to put around the nuggets.
We took a load of stuff out with us on one trip as it was a last min cheapy and we made loads of curries, stews etc and froze them all and took them out with us, we didn't have a freezer in out cabin so we buried the freezer bag out in the snow, it stayed frozen
Thanks for that, I know this may seen a silly question but do any of the restaurants in Levi sell chicken nuggats - I need to know so I can get prepared with food to take with us.
thanks
there is a burger place so they may do them, there are lots of restaurants there but I think it would be best if you take enough out with you just in case as I dont recall seeing them on menus where I was there but thats not to say they dont - perhaps if you get in touch with the restaurants via the levi.fi site they maybe able to help
there are (or at least were) two supermarkets in levi - one in the centre and one a short walk out, the larger one is on the outskirts of the town
best of luck and I hope you all have an amazing time
Chicken nuggets are on the menu in Hesburger (4/6/9 nuggets + dip). There's also a ScanBurger joint in the Levitunturi Spa complex. They have also nuggets (5/10 pieces), and also chicken baskets containing nuggets, fries and a dip and Chicken Mix with nuggets, onion rings and a dip). Chicken nuggets are also sold ready-made (need only heating) in the supermarkets. There are three supermarkets in Levi: K Supermarket Levi Market (next to hotel Levitunturi), S Market Levi and K Market Sirkan kauppa and (both a shortish walk from the immediate centre of Levi). They are all along the same street (Leviraitti 1, 18 and 26 respectively). Supermarkets have nuggets at least under Kariniemi brand (the same ones that Scanburgers have).
thanks for that, it is very useful information and now means i dont have to take any with me
Hesburger chicken nuggets are very different to what you get, say, in McDonalds. Bland, ALTHOUGH, the burgers in Hesburger are very nice ;-)
The supermarket in Levi sell them though, for you to cook. We do that on a few nights, buy frozen chips and nuggets, beans, etc. Very nice.
This is what the nuggets package looks like in most supermarkets: http://www.kariniemen.fi/tuotteet/tuote?id=+kariniemen+kananpojan+paneroidut+nuggetit+ (these are in the cooked meat product/ready made meal shelves (refrigerated). E.g. K Markets have also frozen nuggets e.g. under their own Pirkka brand (package includes also curry and sweet chili dips). S Markets have frozen nuggets also under their Rainbow and X-tra brands (X-tra is usually the cheapest brand - and as such not always very good). Chicken nuggets are usually typed on the packages in Finnish as Kananugetit or Kananuggetit (nuggets being a loan word it does not have an established spelling yet).

Frozen chicken comes often from Brazil, is processed in the Netherlands and sold e.g. as nuggets on brand names such as X-tra in Finland and Tesco in the UK.
Baguettes baked by many Finnish bakeries are made of dough that is imported from France. It gets cheaper that way.
It comes to no surprise that Finns have started to favor locally produced organic food.
And there are people flying with their own groceries.
