No refrigeration travel meals
For those of you who prefer to take your food with you, what are your go-to travel meals? Any that can be out of the refrigerator for, say, 6 hours?
I used to take a Whole Foods salad with me. I'd use tofu as a protein because meat isn't supposed to be out of the fridge for more than 2 hours. I'd put my olive oil (my preferred salad dressing) in a separate container. No issues at TSA checkpoints.
But the whole foods salad thing meant an extra trip to the grocery store before each trip and if I wasn't near a whole foods, it didn't work. So I came up with my own travel meal (below). It doesn't seem like a lot of food, but if you put it on a plate (a luxury I rarely have), it's actually a lot of food.
