My Italian Grandma Came In Town. This Is Her Suitcase
that's a normal Grandma suitcase in Hungary, too XD sometimes she asks me that I can buy eggs there (she lives in the countryside, I live in Budapest, the capital of Hungary and a huge market is around the corner btw)
I love this, so so cute! Italian grandma's love to make sure their loved ones are well fed!
i guess she is an American Italian grandma because i don't know any real Italian that buys Hormel...
My grandpa from New York would do this! NO lie! Old-school Russian immigrant, who was always telling my mother that we were too skinny as kids, and encouraging us to eat constantly. Hes been gone several decades, but no doubt still carrying his suitcase full of kosher goodies around in heaven waiting for us. Miss you Grandpa!
I can't expect less. My grandma always tells me that her aunt used to come from Italy with her suitcase full of salami, cheese and ham.
Sweet Italian gramma? That was you? Remember you telling me. Had no idea you were going to a nudist camp! Where’s your clothes?
It's allowed only if the food is vacuum sealed

My mother in law was Austrian and she packed her case like that !!
My Russian grandad always packs my bag with Vodka, his home-made wine, a couple of salami sticks. It's a grandparent thing- to make sure you've got the food.
Good thing you don't live in New Zealand. You get fined for an apple, this would be years of prison I guess.
Here you go Jennie and Tim. Don't forget to pack properly when you come for a visit!
