Half the fun of travel is to find a good place to eat @:-)
Even at the airport, I allow myself a guilty pleasure that I don't often indulge in - French Fries
Ordered as a side dish, often doesn't cost much more than a couple of bucks, and it fills me up.
OK, not all that healthy, but since I only do this when I fly, not too bad healthwise, but oh so delicious ^
Suppose I could bring granola bars for emergencies ....
Totally feel you, a bit of personal preference I suppose. I find the real value in being able to get to things early. My trip to Peru last year and Mexico recently, for Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, the Tulum ruins, etc. snagging some granola bars/trail mix in the morning allowed me to beat the huge throng of folks arriving in the late morning. By the time the crowds get to those sites, we'd leave to splurge on great local/street food for lunch.
And by splurge, I mean 100 pesos for dinner for 3 to fill up on the best traditional tacos I have EVER had. Didn't quite break the budget
