Although I think that you would be missing out on one of the joys of travel not to eat the food in and from the place you go to, can anyone quote me an official website that has the law or rule that actually says you cannot take uncooked foods - or anything else (dangerous goods and drugs excluded, obviously!) anywhere within the EU? The whole basis of what was called the Common Market is just that - there are no borders as far as free movement of goods are concerned.
Maybe this is another urban myth! |

Why bother going to Spain if you don't want to eat their food? Have you tried their wonderful hams, chirizo etc?
You could stay at home and do self-catering there, eating food that you like.
You won't be able to take raw meat, as the only respondents have stated, but I'm sure you can find plenty in the local shops that is absolutely delicious (and probably a lot fresher than you'll get from a supermarket) if you'll just try. |

You can't take raw meat abroad. Period. In any case, by the time you get there (think - 2 hours at the airport here, 2 hours on the flight, 2 hours getting to your delightful apartment) the food would be rotten. Just eat bread, fruit, veg and cheese while you are away. You can surely do without meat for a while? |

What area are you going to. All the places I have been to have english shops eg. GB Stores, Beer Emporium and they all sell english food and many have butchers in them that do the english cuts of meat. Do try the pancetta though, it is like english streaky bacon. |
