Survival instructions. How not to die of hunger on the train?

Let's raise a delicious and rather complicated topic. Sometimes traveling by train can take a day, two, and sometimes seven days. It may seem that there may not be enough food with you, or it may spoil on the way. And eating doshiraki or station pies for almost a whole week is not the best idea. What should I take with me, what to do if I ran out of food and other issues that passengers are so worried about.

Let's start with the fact that some wagons imply food. For a fee, you can choose three power modes, but this must be notified no later than 3 days before the departure of the train. If you decide spontaneously, then the menu selection may be limited. Also, no one cancels the dining car, which is available on all long-distance trains.

And if you prefer your own food?

Of course, the classics of all travel are custard noodles and instant porridges. You can take a couple with you, as a rule, they will not be superfluous. Many products do not spoil without a refrigerator. For example, bread, dried fruits, nuts, cookies, waffles, sweets, caramel. This, of course, cannot be attributed to a full meal, but you can enjoy tea on the train at least all the way. Therefore, tea bags, instant coffee and sugar should be brought with you. Also pay attention to fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, apples, oranges and tangerines can lie in excellent condition for days. But softer fruits should be eaten on the first day, otherwise they will spoil. In addition, many people prefer to take potatoes with them in uniform. But it is worth using it within 24 hours.

It is debatable, but still some take cheese and sausage in vacuum packages in sliced. Even in a few days they will have nothing, but after opening them, you need to eat them in the next few hours. Just keep in mind that neighbors may have different reactions to sausages, so products with "aggressive" smells should not be eaten surrounded by a large number of people. Boiled chicken and grilled chicken live quietly for 24 hours without a refrigerator.But boiled eggs can be consumed for the first two days.

There is a cooler with boiling water and cold water on the train, but it's worth grabbing a bottle of your own water. By the way, many mothers have shared a secret that baby food on the road saves adults very much. For example, milk porridges, fruit and vegetable mixtures in tetrapak packaging. For an adult man, it will be a drop in the bucket, but some girls prefer this type of nutrition. The only disadvantage of such a diet is a lot of sugar.

There is also an interesting way to eat delicious food on the road. The simplest buckwheat and stew. The main disadvantage of the recipe is that the buckwheat will swell for several hours, and the dish will cool down during this time. But the stew can also be sent to ordinary custard noodles.

Out of food, what to do?

If you have incorrectly distributed your diet and ate everything before the arrival of the train, just don't panic. Dry products can be purchased from the conductor. For example, the same tea and other hot drinks, there is also water and carbonated drinks. You can buy cookies, doshirak, various snacks and chocolates.

Long-distance trains also have long-term parking. Therefore, there are small cafes, shops, on the edge of the grandmother with pies at the stations. Some passengers even manage to run to the city and shop in stores. After all, prices at train stations and stations can be a little overpriced. The main thing here is to calculate the time correctly. If you are not sure that the parking will be long, contact the conductor, they will be able to tell you at which station it is better for you to implement your idea.

Experienced travelers have found another way not to stay hungry. Now there are many deliveries of food and groceries at home. You can simply arrange delivery to your car. It is only necessary to find out in advance how long the stop will be, place an order in advance, immediately clarify which train and car to deliver. As a rule, couriers go to a meeting. Thus, you will get delicious and hot dishes.

As a rule, on a long trip, some people unite and arrange joint feasts. And it happens that someone took more, another took less, someone has a lot of perishable. And if everything has come to an end for everyone, ordering pizza together at the station will be even cheaper. Therefore, in the 21st century, you should not even worry about forgotten food.
