Take whatever you want as long as it is not on the list of prohibited items, but be prepared to open your case and explain the contents.

Many years ago I was stopped at Gibraltar Airport as they could not work out what a large plastic jar of olives was. Apparently it looked like a brain in the scanner!

I was just reading another ongoing thread which would suggest that a spare brain would be a useful adjunct. If only as a blame drain...

As many as will fit in a 1 litre "airline security approved" bag.
Nope - as many as will fit the following "containers must be in a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag, which holds no more than a litre and measures approximately 20cm x 20cm".. and you're only allowed one... and just to make it really awkward what are your chances of finding the security guy who didn't have a good breakfast that day as "Airport security staff will not let anything through that they consider dangerous - even if it’s normally allowed in hand luggage."
