Some foods no problem. Tinned( although why would anyone as its so heavy) and packaged dry foods(granola bars, breads , cookies, crackers, chips , cereals, noodles etc) are mostly fine.
Fresh fruits,( dried seems to be ok as in trail mix etc) ,fresh veggies, and all meat products are no nos.
There is really almost no reason to bring food to Europe though( other then snacks for plane) they really do have pretty well everything you could want,, except maybe Vegemite and Marmite,, LOL )

Only taking food because of special diet. Otherwise agree would not be worth it.

I'm staying for a month in Paris and brought tea, Sweet & Low, snack bars and, best of all, packaged soup with me. My reasoning was... why pay for the same stuff in Euros when I can pay for it in dollars, and I wasn't sure I'd find what I wanted (and I haven't found the same items here so far). The soup helped me out the first couple of exhausted days after arrival. None of the items was heavy or too bulky and I'd do the same thing again.
