I find myself face to face with the question of what to eat during a long trip, when no individual part is long enough for the airline to serve food. I'll be dropped off at the airport around midnight EDT (21:00 PDT), and arrive in Boston at 11:30 EDT, so I need to come up with two meals that avoid paying the extortionate prices asked by airport shops.
For the first, I got a sealed container of hummus and some pita bread. Being a sealed nonliquid, I expect it to go through security alright. Shall probably eat it while waiting to board.
The second is a bag of oatmeal and a packet of chocolate-flavor soy protein powder. (Rolled oats are parboiled before being squashed flat, so they're already "cooked" and make a good cold cereal. I ordinarily eat it with frozen fruit, which defrosts while the oats soak.) The oats, soy powder, and a fast-food packet of spork and napkin fit into an ordinary tupperware container. I'll need to buy milk, but it's better than needing to buy a meal. This one's for the layover, since I likely won't be alert enough to handle a bowl of cereal in-flight.
