Bit of a slow week on the threads, so I'm calling out to all and sundry for some ideas for snacks for a long road trip. (Obviously this is just a thinly disguised way to announce I'm having another holiday - but bear with me). I've got two days drive down to Spain,then a bit of a pootle round for a couple of weeks, then up to the north coast,more pootling, then a ferry back from Bilbao. Am I better off eating little and often (nuts) or stopping for a steak or half a chicken to fuel me for 7-8 hours driving? What do people do on driving holidays?
Scratchings in the glovebox. Plans for "plastic" Edam/Gruyere slices and nuts. @Hotpepper20000 I love dill pickles. I try and pretend the sugar content is neglible. Any thoughts on little and often, or proper meals. It's a bit of a time thing, and I have 340 miles to do with a 2pm start, so I'd like to cut down on loo/fuel stops...
I'd suggest a stop off with a small meal that you are confident holds your levels and a few snacks in between - nuts/cheese/olives/eggs
You could stop off for an all day breakfast, minus toast and beans. Bacon, egg, sausage and mushrooms, set you up for the day.x
Bring a cooler with ice packs. You can always stop and get ice if it melts. Then you can bring whatever food you desire
Mackerel on a stick? Dried skate wing? And is that chinese-supermarket-dried-seaweed or stuff off the beach?
Just managed to blag a plug-in cooler which I will supplement with frozen bottled water. That will get me down to the Costa Brava with goodies intact. And chilled wine to celebrate the arrival...
I just returned from Sevilla and I munched on fish tapas there. On the plane I had cheese and gherkins in my bag
