She’s going on a bus trip for 14 hours, in summer. How on Earth can she take bacon??! Even if it survived it would be a supremely odd house visiting gift.
She can’t take a roast dinner on a 14 hour bus trip FFS
That’s the point. She doesn’t have to take anything – I’d rather a visitor showed me how to cook a new, unfamiliar dish with locally available products than simply throw some ultra-processed, over packaged sh!te at me. And anyone who thinks a roast dinner isn’t good isn’t doing it right. My sister’s German husband much preferred this kind of traditional food to the bland stuff he grew up on.
Wurst Kaise scenario is the flowers get eaten but personally I’d prefer a pie. They usually have enough preservatives in them to survive a nuclear winter….
I can just imagine how greasy and yummy that would be after 14hrs on a bus in central Europe in summer….
Following Brex$hit you’re not meant to take any meat, processed or otherwise, or dairy products from the UK into the EU. We are persona non grata, for obvious reasons. Even going back to Ireland it’s supposedly forbidden.

She’s a 14 year old schoolkid not Gordon bloody Ramsey! She can cook a few basic items but not much more. In any case, it’s tradition to bring a small gift when visiting people’s houses in Germany. When the exchange student came here she gave us chocolates, for which we were grateful because it’s a nice gesture and we’re not snobs.

Oh, in that case, easy – Lucozade and Monster Munch. But for the full teenage Brit experience, they should then be encouraged to go outside to somewhere nice, maybe a park, and dump all the resulting litter. Preferably close to a litter bin.
When I visit my daughter and ex wife I usually get asked for Robinsons orange squash, Bisto Gravy and cheap paracetamol from Tesco. I used to have to bring biscuit selection boxes, Frey Bentos pies and Walkers crisps. I think apart from Frey Bentos the biscuit and crisp selection has improved from paprika or peanut flavour… I do like the peanut flavour though.
