Eating at the many stalls, as great as they are, can be an expensive business, especially with kids in tow.
Historically, I've taken a small camping stove which is great for soups, adding boiling water to packets or heating some ready-to-eat things.
Anyone have any food 'hacks'?!
A few of mine;
These aren't overly cheap, but super tasty and easily heated in boiling water; https://basecampfood.com/search?type=product&options[prefix]=last&q=wayfarer
You can store milk for cereal for about 24 hours in the metal bottles without it going off - a godsend for easy breakfasts for my kids!
If you buy BBQ meat on the Wed morning, it'll be fine to use on a disposable BBQ later that day without refrigeration (don't leave it too long though!)
The usual high energy biscuits / snacks
Bananas, oranges and apples will last the festival
Anything that you can add water to, is a bonus! Noodles, that kind of thing.
Pre-made sandwiches, pastas etc will see you through your first day.
You can boil vegetables if you need that fix
If these all fail, cider is full of sugar. 😆
