I'll be flying for Thanksgiving, and I was wondering what people take on the plane with them to eat? any suggestions?

Hi Susan...

I recently flew... it is good to be prepared. Airlines are not serving food on most US flights. I think it depends on how long and if you are in first class. My flight was 3 hours and we were served pretzels.

SO --- here is what I did. I bought a bag of individual string cheese. It says the are to be kept refrigerated.. but it is not really that hot out and they are individually wrapped.

Then I also took nuts.. not alot... but some to nibble on..

Someone mentioned to me that they packed pork rinds.. but I was not able to put them in a brief case.

Maybe double check carbs on V-8 it is supposedly a vegetable drink...

They serve bottled water on the plane.. all else is carb.

I know it is not especially exciting.. but it gets you through.

thanks for the reply. As a side note, I have noticed that certain brands of string cheese get less "mushy" (none of them go *bad*) after being out for a while. Unfortunately I just bought a 20-pack of a kind that does not like to be out of the fridge for long! But i'll be on the plane for about 4 hours...maybe I'll bring a cheese wheel?

Almonds saved my butt while trapped on a plane for 6 hours last month. Nothing but pretzles anywhere. If you have a bottle of water put that in the freezer the night before and keep the cheese and the water in the same bag; the frozen bottle will keep the cheese cool longer.

Valium.

ok, let's see if I have it down...
things to pack:
-frozen water to keep
-cheese wheel cold and to
-gulp down my valium and
-almonds for dessert.

The flight attendants are gonna love me!

Yah... but at that point... you probably wouldn't care!!!!

Ramona
