What to take from food on a long journey?

Before a long journey, the question arises "what to take with you from food?" To avoid discomfort and unforeseen situations, you should think about this in advance, and having decided to write a list so as not to forget anything.

Travel food if traveling by train

On a long journey by train, car and bus, you need to take fresh products that are not perishable, you need to be especially careful not only in summer. Indeed, in winter it is often hotter on the train than in summer.

Store all items separately and pack well.

List of such products:

• Smoked sausage;
• Vegetables;
• Bread;
• Boiled eggs;
• Cookies;
• Fruit;
• Vacuum packed food.
• Salt, sugar.

(do not consider "liquid dishes": soups, stews, mashed potatoes).

You can take bread with you (having cut it in advance, it is inconvenient to do this on the train and your neighbors are unlikely to like crumbs everywhere), smoked sausage - a favorite product of most travels (also pre-prepared for use) or ham in a vacuum, potatoes (baked in a peel - it does not deteriorate for a long time).

Potato recipe:

Thoroughly wash the potatoes (medium size), cut into 4 longitudinal parts, why put on a baking sheet (after laying the baking paper), salt and sprinkle with Provencal herbs (or other spices of your choice), add a tablespoon of sunflower oil. Then mix everything well and put in the oven.

In summer, everything disposes to give preference to vegetables and fruits and it is better to wash and dry them in advance, and put them in separate bags.

Do not take with you on a train trip:

• Sweet soda water;
• Juices;
• Bananas;
• Cheese (even if it does not deteriorate, it will become soft and unpleasant in taste);

Why not take sweet water? She does not quench her thirst, and the opportunity to get to the restroom is not always there. You can't go wrong with plain water and tea.

Do not take salads and dishes dressed with mayonnaise, this is a perishable product.

What kind of food to take on the road by car

On the one hand, it may seem that it is more comfortable to eat in the car, there are no prying eyes, neighbors who sometimes embarrass you, but on the other hand, there is no place for eating in the car.

It is more convenient and safer to travel by car with a thermal bag (or travel refrigerator) - it maintains the temperature of the food, but does not cool it down. In the summer, perhaps, cool the water in advance and it will remain cool in the travel refrigerator.

Take with you on your trip by car:

• Flour, including sausages in dough (find the recipe below);

• Fruit (pre-washed);
• Potato;
• Cereals;
• Smoked sausages;
• Sliced ​​bread;
• Water;
• Tea and coffee in a thermo mug;
• It is also possible to grab the soup in a thermos;
• Vegetables.

Sausage dough recipe

There is an extremely simple and quick recipe for this delicacy that will appeal to even those who are not friendly with cooking. They are perfect for travel in summer and winter - in any season, and for two-day trips.

Buy ready-made dough - yeast puff pastry (it is in the form of square plates) and sausages.

Such dough, as a rule, is frozen, you need to leave it for 15 minutes, then roll it out with a rolling pin (layer height 0.5-1 cm) and cut into rectangles. Then just wrap a sausage in it, put it on a baking sheet and grease with yolk.

Place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Such sausages in the dough remain tasty even when cold.

Before traveling, be sure to cool the product, wrap it in foil and can be folded into a thermo bag.

It is better to wash vegetables and fruits before traveling (chop if necessary).

Taking food on a bus trip

What food is not suitable for long-distance bus travel? You should not take fatty food, buns on the road (they crumble a lot - this is inconvenient and do not forget about the presence of neighbors who will also not be happy with excess garbage). Do not take salty, spicy and sweet foods, such foods make you thirsty, and on a bus trip they are unnecessary inconveniences.

Take with you on your bus trip:

• Fresh vegetables, pre-cut;
• Bread;
• Not a sweet cookie;
• Fruit;
• Water.

In the summer, you can make a fresh vegetable salad by putting it in a disposable container, it won't go bad and will satisfy your hunger.

What food to prepare for the trip for the child?

If you are traveling by train

The question of what to take with you from food becomes more serious if children are traveling with you. In this case, it is worthwhile to think over the diet more carefully.

In no case do not take on the road for a child:

• Porridge with milk - if this dish is fundamentally important, take instant porridge. Better than poisoning;
• Cottage cheese;
• Boiled meat.

What to take?

• Boiled or baked potatoes (not mashed)
• Vegetables;
• Dried fruits;
• Apples;
• Cookies;
• Water;

• Juice (better store-bought - it is stored longer).

If your child loves meat and cannot live without it, prepare 1-2 grilled patties, for example, so that he can eat it in one (next) meal.

If you are driving

What about food if children are traveling with you?

If you have a "travel refrigerator" at your disposal, you can take the child's usual diet; on the way, you can always stop by a roadside cafe and ask to warm up the food in the microwave.

Do not forget! Chill or freeze all food before traveling to prevent spoilage.

Traveling by car is easier than traveling by train when it comes to shopping. There are many shops and gas stations along the road. But carefully monitor the shelf life of the goods.

Proper nutrition on a long journey

For those who monitor their figure and health, it is important to adhere to a specific menu.

An important question arises - what to prepare for the journey:

Salad recipe

It is very simple, and you need to try to spoil it on the way.

Tear lettuce leaves (amount per eye, but do not regret) tear your hands into a container, chop a lot of greens (whatever you like), then cut the cucumber into quarters and radishes. Sprinkle everything with sesame seeds and season with a teaspoon of olive oil. Salad ready!

Chop a fresh cucumber separately, it can be eaten with chicken for dinner.

Possible breakfast option: a slice of whole grain bread with fresh vegetables or cheese.

It is important to store all products separately.

Food that should not be taken on the road in any case

What food is contraindicated on the road? Everything is obvious:

• Forget everything related to fish at home, because even if the temperature standards are observed, the "life" of this product is not long;
• Milk (and it is better to protect yourself from fermented milk products) - the reason is the same, not a long shelf life and the consequences of poisoning with milk or cottage cheese are severe.
• Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, French fries and other similar dishes are very fatty and hard to digest, which definitely causes discomfort.
• Snacks and instant noodles. Regular nuts do not count.

What medicines to take with you on a trip

There is always the possibility that the digestive system will fail at the most inopportune moment, even if you ate only fresh food.

In such a case, it is worth putting "saving means" in your bag, such as:

• And activated charcoal (beloved and reliable by all);
• Smecta;
• Polysorb;
• Enterofuril (with frequent stools);
• Loperamide (for loose stools);
• Rehydron (with dehydration);
• No-shpa;
• Mezim.

In summer, be sure to take alcohol wipes on a long journey, they will come in handy on a trip by train, car and bus.

Undoubtedly, eating on the road is a kind of stress, but it is possible to make this process safer and more comfortable. Approach the preparation of your diet for the road with special trepidation and adherence to all the rules, then, most likely, the journey will go smoothly. The products should be fresh and it is better not to take semi-finished products with you, but to cook everything yourself. And in case of an emergency, do not forget to take medicines with you on a long journey.

Happy road!
