OK here's another food thread.
What do you bring to eat when you travel in coach? The idea of the thread being, not so much to complain about Amtrak's offerings and prices, but rather to discuss what might be more interesting and/or nutritious; a variety over what's available on the train in either diner or cafe cars.
Sometimes I bring things along these lines:
Peanut butter & jam sandwiches
Trail mix
Cheese and crackers
Apples and bananas, other fruits
Small containers of yogurt (for the first day - after that I worry about spoilage)
I love to eat sardines and other canned fish but have not brought them on the train because I feel the odor would impose on others (true?)
I'd like to see if it's possible to bring enough food on a LD train to avoid the cafe and diner except as a treat now and then.
What do you do?
