Travel food - what to take with you

Before an upcoming trip, women are always puzzled over the question - what to take with them on the road? And even more so to collect such products that will not deteriorate on the way. The article discusses examples of snacks in various types of transport, and what products are best for a child so as not to harm the baby's health.

Food on the road by car

Heat is the most common cause of food spoilage, especially cooked sausages, chicken legs or pies. Therefore, it is worth carefully considering the menu for the trip.

The list of products may vary, as it all depends on the length of the trip. For short distances, you can take yogurt, sandwiches with cheese or sausage, French fries.

If the trip is long, then it is better to refuse from the above products - they deteriorate in 3-4 hours.

You can take with you:

• chicken fillet in batter - due to the low water content, it stays fresh for a long time;
• fruits - bananas, apples, pears.
• nuts - any variety will do;
• snacks - crackers, chips only if there are no stomach problems;
• smoked sausage sandwiches without cheese;
• cookies without filling;
• crispbread;
• vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes;
• vacuum-packed meat cuts, but so that it is enough for one meal.

And of course, water without gases.

Travel food by train

It is much more convenient to travel by train for one simple reason - there is hot water. The menu can be more varied than when traveling in a car.

You can take with you:

• instant soup;
• mashed potatoes in powder;
• noodles;
• instant porridge;
• oven baked chicken;
• hamburgers;
• tea, coffee or cocoa;
• hard boiled eggs;
• bread.

The list can be supplemented with food prepared for traveling by car.

At bus stops, it is advisable to buy pies only with jam or berries. As you already know, meat spoils quickly. But you don't know how much grandmother is sitting on the platform and how fresh the filling is. To avoid poisoning, it is best to exclude such purchases.

Travel food by bus

The food list for the bus trip is not much different from the food list for the car. Here it is necessary to be guided by the rule: the less the smell from the food, the better. We all remember very well how fried chicken or boiled eggs smells in the heat. Agree, it's not very pleasant.

Plus, it can get sick on the road. Mint candies work well with this.

You can still cook homemade lemonade:

• water;
• lemon;
• sugar;
• mint.

It fixes the result of the lollipops.

Food on the road for a child

For children of all ages, you can take fruit purees. The main thing is without adding milk or cottage cheese. From sweets, you can add marmalade. It tolerates high temperatures well.

Grab breakfast cereals such as cereals or chocolate balls. The main thing is that they are without filling.

For older children any of the above examples will do.

Summer food on the road

In the heat, you should follow the rules of the three "NOT":

• not greasy;
• not dairy;
• not fragrant.

Of course, milk cannot harm if it ferments, but it is better not to experiment. The gastrointestinal tract is different for everyone, and if one does not have anything, then the other may suffer greatly and the rest will be ruined. Otherwise, everything is similar to what was listed earlier.

Snacks on the road

If you want something more satisfying, then you can cook:

• sausages in dough, but preferably in the first couple of hours;
• homemade shawarma without mayonnaise;
• muffins and other cupcakes;
• hot sandwiches;
• canned food, but not preserves;
• stew;
• canned peas or corn.

If you travel frequently, it is advisable to purchase a cooler bag.

But you can get out of the situation differently: put a frozen bottle of water in your bag with food. Be sure to wrap it in a towel, otherwise all food may get wet.

It is also convenient to use vacuum containers. Food in them stays fresh longer.

Remember these important rules and travel safely.
