I’m going from Hong Kong to Iceland next month. I’ve read that everything there, including food, are quite expensive. So my wife and I have been researching on how to prepare meal or snack that we can eat during the day instead of going to restaurant.

However, given we will travel by day tours, I don’t think fire or microwave will be readily available during the tours. We can only prepare the meal the day before or in the morning and bring with us in the tours.

We’ve read that peanut butter/honey with bread, dried fruit and nuts are some good options. Overnight oatmeal may be great but I’m not sure we can keep them cool enough throughout the day and if not, whether this will cause food spoilage.

Are there any other recommendations to have more variety? Thank you!

    My go to travel meals are:

    Bread with cheese (and almost whatever else you might put in there). Wrap it in foil and it will be ready to eat whenever.

    Cold pasta with cheese - or even normal pasta with tomato sauce cold is great. My Italian friends eat this for lunch regularly.

    Cold pizza slices are great - I normally make simple pizza using baguettes and tomato sauce (passata) with cheese. One baguette is enough to make pizza for my family of 4.

    Pasta salad - pasta cooked and cooked and then salad of your choice - even cold cuts of meat to well in here and it’s economical to make a huge amount and put it in the fridge

    Actually thinking about it, I eat a lot of lunches made from cold leftovers and I think they taste brilliant without having to heat them up. Obviously things like soup, or ramen noodles and other hot liquid meals don’t taste good at all cold.
