Pease pudding sparks security warning
Airport staff issued a security warning after a passenger tried to carry pease pudding on to a plane.
The traditional northern snack, made from boiled split peas and ham fat, was confiscated from hand luggage at Newcastle International Airport.
It was part of the 450 litres of banned liquids seized by staff each day, including bottles of water, fizzy pop and suntan lotion, vintage champagne and spirits, jars of Marmite and bottles of tomato ketchup.
A Newcastle International Airport spokesman said the security warning was to remind people of the restrictions on carrying liquid items in hand luggage and not the direct result of a passenger trying to get pease pudding on to an aircraft.
