Top 10 Journey Foods for Angels
1) Grapes
2) Cherry Tomatoes
3) Vegetable Sticks : Carrot, cucumber, celery, peppers etc
4) Dried fruit & nuts
5) Apple / Pear slices - squirt a little lemon juice on them to prevent browning
6) Oat & dried fruit bars - healthy flapjacks!
7) Sushi - may sound a bit ‘different’ but california rolls are ideal - just make sure you take them in a cool bag/box.
8) Rice cakes
9) Tortilla wraps stuffed with any filling you like - no crumbs but beware of fall-out!!
10) Chunks of cheese - firm cheese is best eg cheddar

Fruit cake! Travels well, keeps well, tastes great.
Congratulations on your site - very well done. I found you through the Chocolate and Zucchini forums and will drop by again to read more. Best wishes from Down Under
Looking forward to future comments, and perhaps catch you on the forums too. :)
galaxy minstrels and a box of a ribena with a straw is all that is needed.
no crumbs, no stickiness and you can keep your eyes on the road when drinking through a straw.
Fruit cake, galaxy mistrels and ribena - my kind of car picnic!! HeHe!
Might have to add these to my Top 10 journey foods for Devils on Saturday :)
Hard-boiled eggs! Have their own wrapper and can last for a short while without refrigeration. Also, in the “olden days” people used to make pies in thick pastry “coffins” - the pastry not necessarily intended to be eaten. If the pastry was not breached, they would keep for a long time (although our standards today are somewhat more stringent! ) - they even used to send them overseas. So - perhaps a personal sized pie would be good.
Plan to do a nice thing on Pastries soon which you may enjoy :)
Those with smaller hands could use a spoon to get to the filling, I guess. One of our not-so-small teenage sons currently has no front teeth - bicycle accident :(( - and he’s managed pies & pasties with a spoon.
Isn’t that how Cornish pasties started? The pastry was basically just a wrapper for the food inside, before clingwrap, foil or waxed paper was invented. And didn’t the original ones have savoury filling at one end and then a dessert-type filling such as stewed fruit at the other. I’m off to do more research and will report back.
These were especially useful for farmers who where far out on the field, this meant they could get a good “meal” without having to head all the way back. A simple pot of tea and this was a perfect lunch for them with everything they needed. Quite interesting really. :)
