Food during a trip

[Kharma Police]

Just curious what my esteemed FI brethren do without the luxury of crew meals and are burned out on fast food runs at the airport.

PBJ and apples/oranges - I make 4 or so (half sandwhiches) for a 4 day trip. Wrap them in Al foil and they keep fine. If it is an early trip (am starts) I can eat the orange one th first leg then the apple and PBJ for an early lunch then if your in the hotel by mid afternoon just do dinner at 4pm.

On a 4 day I take

4 PBJ
4 apples
4 oranges

Strong Bags lunch box. It keeps food cool for about 12 hrs. Get one of the headache bags from walmart, You have to fill it twice a day but well worth it. You can carry days worth of food. All home cooked, left overs. etc....Its kind of a pain at first but you get used to it and never have to eat fast food. You can also eat when you feel like it and not during 30 minute turns.

+1 on the Strongbags cooler. I put leftovers in tupperware and just dump ice from the galley(or hotel ice machine) right into the bag and it keeps fine all day long. I can usually fit 4-6 postcard sized tupperware containers in the cooler section of the bag.

I mix up some rice, chicken, spinach, veggies into a container and find that travels well for several days.

Did military charter this week. Military guys ate sandwiches then cheeseburgers and snacks. For the last leg home empty, we had steak and shrimp with potatoes and vegetables or stuffed chicken on rice with warm roles and a nice spinach salad. That was for flight crew/FA's/mechanic/ and the load planner. Kinda felt guilty but it was a 2 hour flight after a lot of sitting and waiting on these guys to unload their bags...

To be clear, we were catered with cheeseburgers for the military guys enroute and the sandwiches were for their pre-boarding snack. The company actually catered our crew meals with the china etc. We did not hose over the military guys/gals. We treated them with all the respect they are due for the job they are about to perform. Was just surprised when the crew meals were served on the way home.
