I guess you could bring a can opener and some canned pinapple etc , but would TSA let you bring it one board ? Probably NOT
Hot Dogs and a curling iron ?

I will usually take the grazing approach - smaller items that fit into various spaces in my backpack. For something that long, I would pack a deconstructed ham and cheddar or swiss croissant (each item in its own bag, mustard and airplanes don't mix to me), a can of Blue Diamond smoked almonds, a package of six vanilla cream sandwich cookies (usually 59c at any convenience store), and two more 1 oz. treats for gaps in the flight - when I fly UA/AA/NW I get them from the airline club room.

I just made one for DH! ( I know, but I like making him lunches!) I made a PBand J on wheat, carrot sticks, grapes and trail mix. Cheese sandwhich depending on how much time it will sit. Grazing seems to be the best option - nuts, fruit, veggies, cheese and crackers...
Hope to see some other options here...

If you don't mind "reconstructing" the sandwich when you're ready to eat, asking for the bread wrapped separately from the meat/cheese, any veggies, and any condiments usually results in a sandwich that's not soggy. I've done it with cheesesteaks and regular subs. As long as they aren't busy, I've not had a restaurant protest about wrapping the sandwich in sections.
