The festival season has well and truly begun which made me think... what food to you take to festivals? I refuse to buy every meal there because I will come back bankrupt. I also refuse to cook as my ex still has the camping stove (actually, I think it was his but still). So what can I take that will fill me up, travel well and not have to be cooked?

Loaf of bread (if you're worrying about it travelling then take it frozen)
Something to put on loaf of bread (butter lasts ok, jam, those tins of meat or fish spread)
Something high in energy (sesame seed snaps, cereal bars, kendal mint cake :cool: )
Bottle of vodka (to get so drunk you won't worry about being hungry)
Yeh that's my plan. I'm just gona take some choccy to keep my sugar up and then buy a jacket potato or soemthing when I'm there.
In previous years I've tried to have my main meal of the day from the festival and use my own food for brekkie/lunch/snacking. The noodle bars etc are actually quite reasonable for what you get- well, as far as festival prices go :rolleyes: it's when you get into the habit of snacking from the burger bars that you're in trouble- last year they were charging an extra quid if you wanted one measley slice of plastic cheese in a burger :grump:
Save money with cereal bars for breakfast, and snacky things for the evenings, but if you want to make everything yourself its gonna be sooo much to carry and you miss out a fair bit of the festival.
