[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 590671, member: 12578"] Absolutely, we also have to drive 10-12 hours just to get to the ferry in France. We take normally take a cold box with our own food for at least one meal. We most often take roast chicken, salad, separate dressing, some pain aux cereals , and some fruit. My OH drinks diet coke but I tend to drink water. In winter we may take a flask but I'm quite happy to drink French coffee, even those service stations with just machines dispense a long espresso with or without sugar. If we go by the overnight ferry we would tend to eat at a 'proper' restaurant in Caen or Le Havre (quite often fish or moules) . In the opposite direction we would a picnic in the evening (sometimes on board) , eat a cooked breakfast on the ferry, a second picnic midway and then eat when we get home . There is no need to eat processed rubbish, just a need to plan ahead. [/QUOTE]
