What food to pack in a cooler for a looong plane flight?
I worry about two things on long flights: getting enough protein and food boredom. I usually just pack a lot of things that assure that I will suffer with neither, but I don’t really worry too much about having mealish stuff. Time goes weird on planes anyhow. Things that are good on planes – carrots – celery – sliced green and red peppers – apples with SMALL peanut butter packets – mixed peanuts and raisins – power bars or other protein bars – cough drops/gum/mentos (boredom alleviators) – cinnamon apple snacks – dried fruit generally – smartfood – cup o noodles that you can put tea water in (if flight crew is helpful) – cheese and cracker packets – crackers, goldfish, triscuits – emergen-c/airborne packets to put in water to drink – your own tea for the meat eater you can bring slimjims/pepperoni/baked chicken Avoid fish at all costs and really anything with mayo/dressing or stinky cheese (and I’d include any soft cheese with that) but since there will be a time when everyone is eatin
