I always travel with canned green beans among other things. Good vegetables
can be hard to come by in restaurants and often the only kind of salad
they'll have is the Iceberg lettuce. If I have the canned stuff with me, I
can pop open a can of green beans, another of kidney beans and some pears or
applesauce and call it a meal.
