I'd go with a small cooler then and plan ahead with the food. I do
that at outdoor dog or horse shows. No way to prepare food. So, I may
have a bagel and cream cheese, a piece of fruit, and a sandwich.
Another thing I like is BBQ pork. There is one brand already prepared
that I like. And sometimes I make my own in advance. Or I may just
have pieces of chicken that I grill on a george foreman grill. If I am
going to be limited on food selection, I try to do mostly protein.
That keeps my energy up and helps if I get behind on eating.
