What to take on a train for a day or less
Safety and convenience are the main requirements for products on the road. On the train, you will not be able to put them in the refrigerator or warm them up well on the stove. Plus, it is advisable to take into account the rules of etiquette. Not all neighbors will want to listen to the smell of grilled chicken, no matter how appetizing it smells. What should I choose then?
Boiled or baked fillet. Try to use a minimum of spices so as not to irritate other passengers with their aroma. It is more convenient to cut the finished meat at home. For better preservation, pack the pieces in foil. You need to count the expiration date of treats from the moment they are cooked.
Hard vegetables and fruits. They will definitely not crumple during transportation. Take cucumbers, carrots, celery, cherries, raw cauliflower florets, raw zucchini, boiled potatoes in a jacket, apples, pears, bananas. Whole fruits will keep their freshness longer. Wash them at home so you don’t have to worry about it on the train.
Sandwiches and sandwiches. It is also more convenient to collect them at home. Half can be made with a ready—made fillet, the second part with sausage. In the latter case, it is better to use a raw smoked product, since it is stored outside the refrigerator for longer. Give up mayonnaise or cream sauces in the composition. They will greatly shorten the shelf life of the treat.
Baked pies. Pay attention to the filling. With cottage cheese and meat, it is better to eat quickly, with vegetables you can leave until the evening, and the muffin with jam is stored for up to three days.
Cheese. It is better to choose hard varieties. The less moisture, the longer the shelf life. Divide the head into pieces in advance. Vacuum slicing is also suitable, but after opening it you will have to eat it quickly.
Sausage or sujuk. As with cheese, you can take vacuum slicing, smoked products are a priority. However, here you need to remember about others. Not everyone will appreciate the sausage spirit.
Hummus. Homemade pasta will quietly last one or two days without a refrigerator, the purchased one will last a little longer. You can combine hummus with vegetables or use it as a sandwich layer.
Tortillas or thin pita bread for instant snacks. Instead of a plastic bag, pack the pastries in foil or parchment. This way it definitely won’t get moldy.
